The Monarch would not have left the island, or at least, the BOE says: on Friday, August 16, he signed an RD for Ayuso to be invested
Article 99 of the Constitution, a hornet for Felipe VI in the formation of Government
With the visit to the Son Marroig House Museum in the Sierra de Tramontana (Mallorca), the Kings and their two daughters concluded their stay in Palma on August 8 , full of public appearances. Or at least that is what Zarzuela was led to believe in public opinion . As is tradition, from that day began the private holidays of the Monarchs, actually a euphemism of secrets . Because what has happened every summer since Felipe VI was proclaimed Head of State in 2014 is that he enjoys most of the summer period with his family in an unknown whereabouts , which usually ends up being known after weeks because today In the daytime it is very difficult for someone not to take a picture of them, even if they are in remote places .
Discovering where Your Majesties have become almost an obsession for journalists , as opposed to the opacity that Palacio maintains on this matter. And in recent days several media have reported that last week the Royal Family was in the Caribbean. The journalist Antonio Rossi, for example, held on Monday at Ana Rosa's program , in Telecinco, that Don Felipe had been seen in Barbados , where he was allegedly invited by Venezuelan billionaire Lorenzo Mendoza, owner of one of the most important companies of food and drinks from the Bolivarian country. Carlos García-Calvo had advanced in El Mundo that the Monarch had moved to this paradise in the West Indies. But Rossi added that he would have met later with Doña Letizia and her daughters somewhere in the Caribbean . Mendoza himself has properties in the Bahamas that Spanish sovereigns know well.
However, the reality seems to be quite different . Don Felipe could have spent the secret holidays in a much closer place, Palma de Mallorca itself. This follows from the information collected by the most reliable official source possible: the Official State Gazette. And, according to the BOE, the King was in Palma on Friday, August 16, in the bridge of the Virgin. It was in the Mallorcan capital where he signed the Royal Decree by which Isabel Díaz Ayuso was appointed president of the Community of Madrid. The rule had the mandatory endorsement of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and was published in the BOE the next day, Saturday 17, an essential requirement for Ayuso to take formal office two days later , Monday 19 August.
The promulgation of the laws, always with the corresponding endorsement, is one of the functions that the Constitution grants to the Head of State . And the King can only sign them in national territory. In such a way that when it is forced to sign an urgent law being outside our country, it has to move to an embassy, considered by the International Law Spanish territory. Without going any further, in June 2017, the Government awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of Civil Merit, posthumously, to Ignacio Echeverría, sadly known as the skateboard hero, who died in London when facing three jihadist terrorists to save a woman from an attack . The King was in Kazakhstan for the inauguration of Expo 2017. And he had to go to the Spanish Embassy in Astana to sign the Royal Decree for which Echeverría was awarded. Only then was the rule valid and could come into force , for all purposes.
From Zarzuela it had been explained at the end of July that this year the vacations of the Royal Family were going to be very conditioned by the development of political events, alluding to the negotiations between parties aimed at the formation of Government . What causes a certain strangeness is that it was wanted to keep secret that the Head of State continued in Palma, when, in the current circumstances, it is probably the best public opinion would have received . LOC has tried to confirm it, but the Casa del Rey Communication Office insists that no information is provided on the private vacations of the Royal Family.
Returning to the day of the visit to Son Marroig, different sources say that around the Marivent Palace the usual security device was detected that is deployed when the Royal Family arrives or leaves the island . But, days later, Don Felipe attended a dinner with several friends, including his intimate singer-songwriter Jaume Anglada, at the restaurant in the Mallorcan capital El Caballito de Mar. There was an unpleasant confrontation between photographers and the Monarch Security team, determined that no snapshot of the King was captured during that evening. It was Saturday, August 10. The next day, it seems, he arrived in Marivent the Emeritus, Don Juan Carlos, after conquering in Finland his last title in the regattas when he won the World Cup of the 6 Meters modality.
Don Felipe did not have news on the island again . But, as we say, just five days later he signed the Royal Decree that informs us of his secret whereabouts . Or not so much.
