• Monarchy. Irene Montero affirms that Pedro Sánchez marginalized Unidas Podemos from the decision to endorse "the flight" of King Juan Carlos
  • Royal House Juan Carlos I communicates to Felipe VI his decision to leave Spain

Pedro Sánchez has shown his full support for the "decision of the Royal House" to "take distance" from the alleged cases of corruption that affect King Juan Carlos I and that have motivated his departure from the national territory. And he has emphasized that his Government is cohesive and defends "fully the constitutional pact."

"The coalition government's commitment still stands." With these words Pedro Sánchez wanted to anticipate the doubts that the solidity of the Executive raises after the serious discrepancies that Unidas Podemos has put on the table in relation to the departure from Spain of King Juan Carlos, an event of the utmost importance and seriousness that However, he has chosen to avoid his speech to the press.

Sánchez has only referred to this issue forced by questions from journalists. It was then that he supported the decision of the Casa del Rey to "take distance" from the alleged cases of corruption that affect the Emeritus. He added, however, that "people and not institutions must be judged" and recalled that Don Juan Carlos himself has been brought to justice.

In the president's opinion, this whole issue has shown that Spain is a "vigorous democracy" that needs "stability and robust institutions" that must "be based on transparency." "The line adopted by the Casa del Rey is appropriate for actions that could be described as irregular." And he added, after assuring that he feels "proud" of the functioning of the Executive: "The Government that I preside considers the constitutional pact fully in force."

Sánchez has taken cover after the "discretion and confidentiality" that should govern the contacts between Moncloa and Zarzuela so as not to provide any information on the negotiating process that has been carried out to decide the removal of Juan Carlos I or on his current situation or the whereabouts where it is located. He also did not want to refer to the "disloyalty" that he is accused of from United Podemos for not having involved the purple ministers in decisions about the future of the monarch emeritus.

His first speech was a self-praise ignited by his own administration, in which the president explained that his coalition government agreement, with 428 commitments, has already been activated by 50% and 17% will have been fulfilled before the end of year. 90% will have been carried out by the end of 2023. This implies confirming, in his opinion, that the Executive is characterized by being "active, committed and determined" and supports the prognosis that the legislature will be "long and fruitful" and it will be based on an attitude of "dialogue".

He preferred to dedicate most of his appearance before the press before the summer holidays, to review the agreed social protection measures to face the consequences of Covid 19. This is how he mentioned the 22 law decrees, dozens of resolutions and Fifteen conferences of presidents that have been held since the pandemic broke out and have expressly referred to the "historic agreement" closed in the EU under which Spain will be able to access a total of 140 billion euros between transfers and loans.

"We will make a leap in competitiveness and cohesion," he assured, with the help of European funds and anticipated that for the medium-term future there will be a fiscal reform, the national health portfolio will be strengthened and the foundations will be laid for a national model of care.

A housing plan will also be carried out with an eye towards young people, job creation will be promoted and social dialogue will be consolidated. A state pact will be designed for the modernization of the Administration and the Statute of the Electrointensive Consumer and the Charter of Digital Rights will be approved, among other objectives.

However, none of this will be possible if the General State Budgets cannot be carried out. For this reason, Sánchez has called on all political forces to "put their shoulders close."

It has also influenced the number of PCR tests and serological tests that are already carried out daily in Spain; He explained the distribution of the 16,000 million euros from the Covid Fund and other aid for the autonomous regions, which have meant "an enormous unprecedented effort" while the country's medical material reserves have been strengthened. Sánchez has also announced that Spain will be part of the work of the Modern pharmaceutical company in the development of a vaccine.

Sánchez has defined his government's response to the crisis as "effective" and respectful of the constitutional mandate.
