  • Regulations. The Government sees Felipe VI "fully willing" to "improve the constitutional model" and opens the way to a Crown law

In the last year, as a result of the information about the opaque businesses of Don Juan Carlos and the judicial investigations opened in this regard, and especially after his departure from Spain last August, there was speculation, and even encouraged from Podemos, the that the honorary title of King be withdrawn.

An option that, however, seems to rule out Moncloa.

From the Executive it is affirmed that the one who was Head of State for almost four decades will keep his title of King "for life".

This is what the Government points out in a written response to the Senator of Compromís

Carles Mulet

.

"Royal Decree 470/2014, of June 13, provides that Don Juan Carlos de Borbón will continue for life in the honorary use of the title of King, not appearing at any point in the name of King Emeritus", is the position set by the Executive dated December 30, that is, at this time.

In his question, Mulet stated that the designation of emeritus is not included in the

Constitution

, therefore, he asked the Government the question: "Does the Government intend to revoke this honorary and lifetime title?"

Faced with the position of the senator, who argued that a similar legal figure did not exist in other places, the Government, in its reply, indicates "without the intention of being exhaustive, that there are situations similar to that of the Spanish parliamentary monarchy in countries such as Belgium, with King

Albert II

, Luxembourg with

Grand Duke John

, or Japan, with Emperor

Akihito

, who is called

Daijo Tenno or Joko

. "
