The veto of the Government that the King attended, as has happened during the last 20 years, to the delivery of offices to the new class of judges in Barcelona, ​​the most important judicial act that takes place in Catalonia, increases the controversy at every step and the tension between the Executive and the Crown.

The last to pour gasoline on the fire that broke out was Minister Alberto Garzón, who has accused Felipe VI of "maneuvering against the Government."

An accusation that makes it explicit after it became known that the monarch has telephoned Carlos Lesmes, president of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) this Friday to convey that he would have liked to attend the event.

A gesture that certifies the existence of the veto by the Government to their attendance.

Although the Minister of Consumption does not specify the reason for this new attack on the Crown, he does consider that the Monarchy is "not complying with the Constitution that imposes its neutrality."

Garzón, who already a week ago, in the Political and Social Assembly of IU, extended the accusation of corruption to the thread of the scandal over the opaque businesses of Don Juan Carlos - "Corruption within the Royal House is not the work of a single person , but requires the help of other highly qualified "-, considers that the situation of the Crown" is simply unsustainable "and is only" plaudited by the extreme right. "

Garzón's serious accusation contradicts what was stated only a few hours by Vice President Carmen Calvo, who thanked the King for "political neutrality".

"We are very grateful to Felipe VI who knows how to always be in his place, which is that of political neutrality. And these are reasons that occupy every day, and that in this case have become a political novelty for a clearly foreign reason. to the King and the Government of Spain, "he assured at an informative breakfast in Andalusia.

The accusation made by Garzón takes place when Unidos Podemos has raised the degrees of its campaign against the Monarchy.

Pablo Iglesias has already set the "fundamental task" of We can end the Monarchy in Spain.

The clash between Zarzuela and Moncloa with the new class of judges as 'hostages' has led Jaume Asens, president of the United We Can parliamentary group, to consider, in line with the absence of Felipe VI in Barcelona, ​​that it is "good news" that he does not go to and that it would be "fantastic" that the king "does not return more".

"Every time he comes, he opens a wound that is not yet closed. Many people hold the King responsible for everything that happened in that period - October 2017 -. That speech marks a before and after, it is a speech that did not come out. de la Moncloa, is a speech that came out of Zarzuela ", he pointed out on Ràdio 4.

Also from within the PSOE they have wanted to downplay an absence that occurs for the first time in history.

The PSOE spokesperson in Congress, Adriana Lastra, has accused Carlos Lesmes of "oversizing" the absence of the King in the delivery of offices to judges in Barcelona and has urged him to "give a wake-up call to the PP" to renew the Council of the Judicial Power.

"Sometimes, in politics, you have to choose between the bad and the worst, or between the bad and the less bad," she added in an interview on Antena 3. And she has placed the exclusion of Felipe VI within the framework of security : "This decision responds to ensuring the King's safety."
