The Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has asked this Friday that the

Prosecutor's Office

be allowed to

act so that it "reaches the end" on the investigation that affects King Juan Carlos, in view of what he has described as "worrying news" due to to the rogatory commission, advanced by

EL MUNDO

, which points to his role as presumed international commissioner.

In a press conference from the

General Directorate of Traffic

(DGT) on the balance of the summer campaign, Grande-Marlaska acknowledged that they "would have liked not to receive" this type of information about the father of King Felipe VI, underlining that in a democracy like the Spanish one "everything must be investigated".

"Let the Prosecutor's Office act and take the appropriate measures," he commented in response to the press, to later insist that it is the Prosecutor's Office that "directs the investigation" and, therefore, we must "wait until it reaches the final to clarify the facts. "

"This is what we demand in a state of law," he pointed out before commenting that "for a democracy to function, all powers must function independently and effectively."

United We Can, a coalition partner of the Government of Pedro Sánchez, goes further.

The president of the parliamentary group in Congress,

Jaume Asens

, has said that King Juan Carlos I "has to sit on the dock."

In a TV3 interview this Friday collected by Europa Press, he defended that the Emeritus King must respond criminally to his actions "like any other citizen" and called the position of the Prosecutor's Office good news and as a preliminary step for Juan Carlos I he sits on the dock, in his words.

"Enough incriminating evidence"

Asked if he thinks that the Prosecutor's Office could already call the King Emeritus to testify, Asens has said yes, although he considers that it could have been done before, and that now we have to wait for the requested documentation to be sent to

"but there are enough incriminating evidence before we already have this documentation," he added.

Asens recalled that Podemos has repeatedly asked the creation of an investigation commission to the monarchy in Congress, so he hopes that with this news the PSOE will change its position: "And that the barons of the PSOE stop being the barons of the Crown. Citizens deserve that we go to the end. "

For him, the PSOE is a monarchical party and points out that this is a substantial difference with Podemos, but he believes that after this information "sooner or later the PSOE has to move from this position" and has urged to make it possible among all the formations that the alleged corruption around the Crown be investigated.

Later, in a tweet, Asens pointed out that if the Prosecutor's Office sees corruption in the King Emeritus, the PSOE "cannot continue to cover up the monarchy and obstruct the commission of investigation, due to democratic decency and transparency."
