The president of the group of United We Can in Congress, Jaume Asens, has demanded that King Felipe VI appear in the Lower House to explain the "flight" of King Emeritus, Juan Carlos I, abroad, and has demanded that he also do so the Vice President of the Government, Carmen Calvo.

In an interview this Thursday in RNE collected by Europa Press, he explained that his parliamentary group is going to ask that the monarch appear before the Cortes Generales to "report on the whereabouts, living conditions and reasons for leaving the country" of Juan Carlos I.

Asens has acknowledged that the King emeritus is not involved in any judicial case, when asked about Calvo's words about whether Juan Carlos I's departure is a flight: "It is true that since it is not investigated, the former head of state enjoys of his rights, among which he is to move and establish residence wherever he wants. "

"From a legal point of view, there is no search and arrest warrant against him. On the other hand, it is true that there may be one soon, here and in Switzerland. The way the operation has been carried out, it is a flight", he has Asens sharp.

He has also criticized the fact that he does not have the status of an accused, when "another citizen would already have the status of an accused and his passport would have been withdrawn", and he has rejected the claim that he has been exiled, because he considers that it offends the memory of the thousands of Republicans who they fled during the Franco regime, a regime that made Juan Carlos I heir, in his words.

Asens has criticized that Sánchez and Calvo have not shared information on the departure of the King Emeritus with the partners of the Government of United Podemos: "In the future it can not happen again, it cannot be done, it does not involve us. We feel legitimately leaving to criticize. "

"The Prime Minister has not acted as President of the Coalition Government, but as a President of the PSOE, of bipartisanship or of the '78 regime," said the spokesman for the commons, who has asked that the position be agreed among the partners. of the government.

"We must break this circle of opacity that has engulfed the Head of State and accredit European countries," said Asens, who called for Sánchez to be more exhaustive in explaining what happened.

Asens has proposed to withdraw Juan Carlos I his status as King through a decree law, also limit the scope of inviolability and "end the climate of impunity and the crime of slander to the crown, which does not exist in any other legal system".

The Republican Group asks that Calvo and Sánchez appear

The Republican Group of Congress presented this Thursday, together with EH-Bildu, JxC, Cup and BNG, two requests to appear so that the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, and the First Vice President, Carmen Calvo, explain in parliamentary headquarters if they gave support to the "flight" of the King emeritus.

ERC had already registered a similar initiative for the call of the Permanent Deputation in order for it to rule on a request for the appearance of Calvo, who, as he admitted in public statements, had been the Executive's interlocutor with the Royal House in this matter.

Now, the Republicans have the backing of four other Republican formations and also request the appearance of the President in an extraordinary session of the full Congress to account for the information available to him at the time of the announcement made by the Royal Household.

They also want me to explain what kind of support the Government gave to "the operation to escape the King Emeritus and what it represents for the solidity of the democratic institutions of the State." | SERVIMEDIA
