The new visit to Spain of the King emeritus at the end of April, a month after 28-M, is inopportune and poses a risk to the Zarzuela, which Juan Carlos I has not previously informed. As we publish today, even close friends have tried to make him desist from the trip, in anticipation of the damage he may cause to the Crown. The participation of the Emeritus in the regattas of Sanxenxo already monopolized all the spotlights last year and will do so again now, in a few weeks convulsed by the proximity of the elections. In fact, Podemos has already begun to instrumentalize the trip – the second since its departure to the United Arab Emirates – by calling it "democratic indecency". The Crown is thus unnecessarily exposed.
In August 2020, Juan Carlos announced his decision to leave Spain to "contribute" to his son being able to carry out his function "from tranquility and tranquility". In March 2022, he pledged that his future visits to Spain would take place in "private areas". What was expected was that he would keep his word. Although he has the right to come to Spain, the country whose transition to democracy he starred in and where the tax investigations against him have been filed, the prudent thing would have been to wait until June, as Juan Carlos himself had agreed with Zarzuela.
