Much of Pedro Sánchez's investiture partners return to the charge. Eight parties re-registered yesterday a petition by an investigative commission for Congress to investigate the dark affairs of King Emeritus related to the award of the AVE to Mecca. And it will be the tenth time they have done so: eight in Congress and two in the Senate. So far, they have met with the support of Unidas Podemos and the rejection of the PSOE.

At the initiative of Compromís spokesperson, Joan Baldoví, the nationalist and leftist parties seek that the Lower House investigate the public companies that supposedly paid commissions through the intermediation of Juan Carlos I. They are Renfe, ADIF and the former Ineco, the state engineering then sold to Técnicas Reunidas.

The signatories of the petition thus seek to bypass the veto of the lawyers of the Chamber, which until now have indicated that Congress can investigate the Government, not the Royal House. They have presented the initiative Esquerra Republicana, Junts per Catalunya, Bildu, Más Pais, the CUP, Compromís, the BNG and Nueva Canarias.

In the presentation of the initiative, Joan Baldoví (Compromís) said he is confident that now "no one is protected by any inviolability" because as members of Congress, "we can legitimately control the activity of Spanish public companies, which are financed with money of all. "

In a press conference, spokesmen for ERC, JxC, CUP and Bildu insisted on linking the Monarchy with corruption and with the "absence of a true democracy" in Spain. As Gabriel Rufián has expressed, "it cannot be said that we are facing a bad apple; it is an institution that has enormous corruption problems." The independence spokesman considers that the head of state, Felipe VI, "knew of his father's business with the Saudi satraps and their beach bars in Panama." And he has assured that his honeymoon was supposedly paid for by "businessmen very close to Juan Carlos I".

The deputy of Más País Íñigo Errejón has assured that this initiative is "a stress test on the quality of Spanish democracy" because until now it has been shown that "there are opaque places where democracy does not come."

On behalf of the CUP, Mireia Vehí has ​​assured that the Monarchy has always been "against rights and liberties". And he has asserted that "his role in the 1981 coup attempt has not yet been clarified" or that the current head of state, Felipe VI, "threatened" the Catalans before the sovereignist consultation in his speech on October 3 2017. There should be no doubt that corruption "must be prosecuted and investigated."

The signatories of the initiative have not spoken with the PSOE, but they hope that, given the increasing severity of the accusations being talked about, the Socialists will end up accepting the commission of inquiry, which until now has never passed the initial filter. of the Table of the Congress, where it has always been rejected thanks to the votes of the PSOE, PP and Vox.
