- Monarchy: Infanta Cristina, rehabilitated in the King's family and with an almost empty nest
The 55th birthday of the Infanta Cristina on Saturday June 13 coincides with another anniversary that is difficult to forget, since the eve of five years of one of the most painful decisions that King Felipe has faced: stripping his favorite sister of the duchy from Palma that Don Juan Carlos granted him for his wedding with Iñaki Urdangarin. Only comparable, so hard, to that of repudiating her father last March, renouncing her inheritance and withdrawing her assignment, after the alleged millionaire commissions collected from the Saudi monarchy came to light.
The arrogant attitude of the Infanta, who despite having to sit on the bench for the Nóos case, refused to make any gesture such as renouncing her rights to the throne, created an unsustainable situation for the monarch, who was forced to give her a warning by his promise to regenerate the Crown. Something that broke his heart, since when they were little they were nail and meat and shared a group of friends, a love of sailing, confidences and even he and Urdangarin acted as guardian angels of their courtship with Doña Letizia, hiding them in their house in Barcelona.
The definitive rupture was caused by the Infanta Cristina's betrayal of her brother after she was stripped of her title, because through the mouth of her lawyer Miguel Roca she publicly declared that it was she who voluntarily resigned in a letter to Don Felipe, something that Zarzuela hastened to deny.
Five years later, the tension has given way to coldness, since the relationship has not recovered with her brother and even less with Doña Letizia, as was demonstrated at the funeral for the Infanta Pilar in January, when the Queen greeted two affectionate kisses to Beatriz de Holanda, but she passed by her sister-in-law, sitting next to the former sovereign. What it does not take away so that Cristina de Borbón, after being acquitted in the Nóos trial and once Urdangarin, sentenced to 5 years and ten months in prison, entered the Brieva prison on June 18, 2018, is being rehabilitated in your family.
It was shown on Doña Sofía's 80th birthday, when the Kings and their daughters shared a pose for the family photo with the Infanta Cristina and their four children. In addition, lately, the Infanta frequently traveled to Spain to visit her husband in Brieva, although she drove to the parking lot, so there is no graphic testimony. She also spent her first Christmas without Iñaki in Zarzuela, where she has also stayed on her visits to Madrid, although the two prison permits that Urdangarin has enjoyed last Christmas and on Valentine's Day on February 14, were spent in Vitoria with the Urdangarin. A growing presence that the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted, since since February neither the Infanta nor her children have stepped on Spain nor have they been able to visit Urdangarin in Brieva due to the closure of borders. They remain completely confined to their home in Geneva, where Cristina resides with her young children, Miguel (18) and Irene, who turned 15 yesterday yesterday, June 5, and is still studying at the Swiss Ecolin last bachelor's degree and the equivalent of fourth THAT.
The Swiss authorities already allow with limited face-to-face classes that the small Urdangarin combine with telematic work from home. They have been joined by Pablo Nicolás, a Nantes handball player, after the league was suspended in France, and Juan Valentín, a student at a British university, who has stopped his classes. La Infanta, which according to what was published in February, was negotiating her departure from the La Caixa foundation, is also teleworking from her home for the Aga Khan Trust Foundation, her other position, where she works as an interagency coordinator.
The fact that this foundation is based in Lisbon opened the possibility for Cristina to move this year with her children to Lisbon to be closer to Iñaki, who in 2021 will be able to choose the third degree after serving half her sentence.
But the pandemic has disrupted all his plans and has especially affected Urdangarin, forced to confine himself within the "confinement" of being imprisoned and isolated as the sole inmate of Brieva's female wing. Coinciding with the start of the state of alarm, he received the bad news that the Palma audience had revoked the benefit that the judge granted him of going out two weekends a month. It would not have mattered, because the permits were paralyzed and although there is already a green light, Urdangarin, who has 30 days left of the 36 to which he is entitled this year, nor can he travel to Vitoria with his family, nor the infant and his children come to Spain. An immobility that also prevents him from receiving visits from relatives in Brieva, the last of which was the Infanta Elena. He cannot even go to the home of the disabled Don Leone, where he worked as a sports monitor, and allowed him to breathe a certain freedom when moving away from the prison Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to cover the 103 kilometers to Pozuelo, as the institution has canceled the work of the volunteers until the end of the de-escalation.
