  • Interview. "With what Juan Carlos was, it is fortunate that Spain was not filled with bastards"

Jaime Peñafiel , writer and columnist for EL MUNDO, is sick at home with symptoms of coronavirus, as confirmed by the newspaper in which he writes. However, neither he nor his wife, who remains in his lake also with some symptoms, have not been tested or will be.

"I'm still working," says Peñafiel, and assures that this Saturday his page will appear on LOC, in which he remembers, among others, Carlos Falcó, Marquis of Griñón, who died last week due to Covid-19.

Peñafiel, 88 , says that he has lost his sense of smell and taste, with the drawbacks that this entails, despite the fact that his diet is frugal, according to his age.

Precisely, in his column last week Peñafiel referred to the pandemic and its devastating effects in Spain, regarding the intervention in television of the king of Spain, just after the scandal over the donation of the emeritus king of money from Saudi Arabia :

"I will never understand why Felipe VI has waited until now, when Spain as a whole and without distinction of social classes suffers one of the greatest collective tragedies in its most recent history, to air all its family miseries and did not do so when it learned that it had been designated heir on March 5 of last year. "

"I do not know who or who were his advisers," Peñafiel wrote at the time about the great scandal of the Spanish royal family in recent decades. "But the King had to know, as my colleague Marisa Cruz reminded him, article 991 of the Civil Code: 'No one may accept or repudiate an inheritance without being certain of the death of the person whom they are to inherit.' Nobody because the law is the same for Agamemnon and for his swineherd, "the companion pointed out. What need was there? At the worst, Felipe has felt compelled to sacrifice his father to save the monarchy? Don Juan Carlos also sacrificed his father for the same ", the journalist finished his column on the thorny issue.
