• Criticism: From palace to palace, this is how Pedro Sánchez's controversial Christmas holidays have been

If social networks are a reflection of the climate of public opinion, it can be concluded that the Prime Minister's summer vacation has been very badly received by broad social sectors . Because it has been interpreted as a provocation, a gesture lacking the minimum aesthetic, the fact that, with which it is falling, in full economic but also institutional crisis, and just a few days after the departure of King Juan Carlos of Spain , Pedro Sánchez has chosen to enjoy a week off the Palace of La Mareta, with the connotations that the place has.

It should be remembered that the royal complex of La Mareta, in Lanzarote, was a personal gift that in 1989 the then King of Jordan Hussein made to his brother Don Juan Carlos. One of the many luxurious gifts that the Arab monarchs made to the King Father, and that are at the center of the controversy. It is true that the Crown donated La Mareta to National Heritage and that in recent years it has been used by other leaders. But it seems a provocation that Sánchez and his wife, Begoña Gómez , wanted to inhabit it just in the days when the scandal over the gifts to Don Felipe's father took all the media interest. Some critics stressed in the networks that it would only be necessary for Sánchez to use one of the Ferraris that the Gulf emirs sent to the former King.

The extra spending, in such a tough year, also draws criticism. Because La Mareta has had to be conditioned these weeks for the president to use it for a week, when later he will continue his rest in the Palacio de las Marismillas (Doñana), which means double expense for the public coffers.
