the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz;
the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero;

Criticism of the Monarchy

Iglesias then said that
"institutional respect means political neutrality of the head of state
.
"
And this Friday justified the absence of the mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, and the members of the Government in another act of the King in Barcelona.
"It doesn't have too many supporters in Catalonia," he said.
Criticisms also came from the Minister of Consumption and IU leader, Alberto Garzón, who accused the monarchy of
"maneuvering" against "the democratically elected government."
