• Initiative. All government partners ask to investigate the "alleged illegalities" of King Juan Carlos
  • Negative. The PSOE assures that "it does not fit constitutionally" a commission of investigation on Juan Carlos I
  • Veto.PSOE, PP and Vox refuse to create a commission of inquiry on Juan Carlos I in Congress

The Crown is once again an element on which United We Can tries to pivot the image that it has not succumbed to the institutionalization of being a government party, while seeking to differentiate itself from the PSOE. The purple formation wants to promote in Congress a commission of inquiry into the business of Juan Carlos I, in which they intend to cite the former Head of State as an appearance. A matter that rejects and makes socialists uncomfortable. Pablo Iglesias' party has the support of all the investiture partners of Pedro Sánchez.

United We can retake this initiative despite the fact that it has been knocked down on several previous occasions at the Table of Congress -the governing body of the House-, with the votes against PSOE, PP and Vox attending to what is indicated by the lawyers. To try to get around this refusal, the purple formation now sets up a commission of inquiry that does not revolve around the figure of the father of the current zz, but has dressed it as an investigation of general interest by presenting as its object "diplomatic relations and commercial between Spain and Saudi Arabia , its link with Spanish institutions and companies and its effects on the public purse. "

The other point that Unidas Podemos presents to try to convince the PSOE is that the facts to be investigated are those that occurred after the abdication of Don Juan Carlos , in 2014. He wants to haggle with this what article 56.3 of the Constitution dictates : "The The person of the King is inviolable and is not subject to liability. His acts will always be countersigned in the manner established in article 64, lacking validity without such endorsement, except as provided in article 65.2. ".

"We have carried out an intense work of studying the precedents of the decisions of the Table of the Congress and of the existing jurisprudence to maximize the probabilities that this commission, unlike other previous ones, can be qualified", explained Pablo Echenique , spokesman Member of Parliament of Podemos, after registering.

No expectations about the PSOE

In this sense, the writing promoted by Unidas Podemos is covered by the published journalistic information, "and which points to the possible commission, among others, of money laundering crimes by the former Head of State, Don Juan Carlos Alfonso Víctor María of Bourbon and Bourbon-Two Sicilies, it is not ruled out that they had been executed after the abdication of Juan Carlos I or that they were currently being executed, which would exclude them even more explicitly from the scope of royal inviolability ".

However, despite the legal returns that United We are seeking, there is not much expectation in the formation that the PSOE changes its criteria and supports its proposal. "No one escapes that we have different positions, but I think that both forces have managed to maintain them from mutual respect. Agreements can be made, partners can be reached and it is not necessary to think the same and agree on all points", Echenique has admitted.
