  • The trip: the Government does now allow the King to go to Barcelona

Pedro Sánchez's decision to allow the presence of Felipe VI at the awards ceremony of the new edition of the

Barcelona New Economic Week

next Friday, to silence criticism of the veto imposed on the Monarch in the act of delivering dispatches to the The new class of judges has already elicited the resounding rejection of the

purple

members

of the Executive for whom, the presence of the King "does not launch a message of modernity and good work."

This has been expressed by the first secretary of the Board of Congress and deputy of the Catalan branch of United We Can,

Gerardo Pisarello

, for whom, in coincidence with the mayor of Barcelona, ​​Ada Colau, "the visit of Felipe VI is now inadvisable, just like It was two weeks ago. "

The PSOE, for its part, maintains an opposite position.

For the socialists, as Rafael Simancas has stated, "loyalty" to the Crown prevails as the main part of the constitutional pact.

The King's next visit to Barcelona, ​​he said, is part of "institutional normality"

Pisarello thus completely revises the version of the Government by virtue of which the decision that the King did not attend the delivery of the judges' offices was taken by mutual agreement with

Zarzuela

and was exclusively due to a desire not to strain the coexistence before the imminent decision of the Supreme to disqualify the already former president of the Generalitat Quim Torra.

From Pisarello's words it can be deduced that the underlying reasons for the aforementioned veto did not obviate the rejection of United We and its currents to the Crown, an institution that they accuse of "lack of transparency", of having put aside the " neutrality "imposed by the Constitution and allowing himself to be" kidnapped by the political and judicial right. "

"We celebrate the presence of President Pedro Sánchez and Minister José Luis Ábalos, but not that of the King, who does not contribute to launching the message of modernity and good work that an initiative of this type needs. There are so many opacities that surround him that it is not the best ambassador, "said the deputy of En Comú Podem who, moreover, has not hesitated to assure that this is a" shared "opinion in the political space he represents.

In short, it is supported by the members of United We Can who are part of the Executive.

Pisarello has once again accused the Monarch of "lack of neutrality" and has emphasized that "it remains kidnapped by the political and judicial right" which leads it to "move away from its constitutional role".

"As long as the monarchy does not clearly move away from the political, judicial and media right, it will be an ambassador of backwardness and not of modernity. As long as it covers the flight of the King Emeritus to a dictatorship, it will be very difficult to link it to modernity and change ", has assured the first secretary of the Table who has not missed the opportunity to charge against the president of the CGPJ and the Supreme Court,

Carlos Lesmes

, and against former president Felipe González, whom he accuses of encouraging the monarchy" moves away from the

Constitution

. "

Vox, against the tribute to Manuel Azaña

Pisarello has spoken in these terms at the end of the meetings of the Board of Congress and the Board of Spokespersons.

The governing body of the Chamber has also decided to celebrate on November 3 a tribute to the former President of the Republic (1936-39),

Manuel Azañ

a, on the 80th anniversary of his death.

Only Vox has voted against this tribute.

The Chamber Board has also qualified Vox's motion of censure against the Government, which implies opening from now on a period of two days during which alternative motions could be presented.

Board sources assure that the date of celebration of the motion will be set next week and point to Tuesday, Wednesday, October 20 and 21.
