• 12-O "How handsome, and sad, the King";

    the 'pibonaco' Ayuso and Sánchez, "spending on Defense to get placed when they kick him out"

  • National Party Sánchez skips the protocol to avoid boos and makes the Kings wait inside the car

Strategy or lack of coordination with Casa Real protocol, that is the question.

President Sánchez arrived yesterday afternoon at the parade

on October 12

.

His car parked three minutes after the arrival of the

King

and Queen , which caused the

Zarzuela

chief of protocol to have to approach the Rolls in which Don Felipe and Doña Letizia arrived to indicate that they should not open the door because they could not go down yet.

Because the Kings are the last to arrive and the first to leave.

After the parade, Pedro Sánchez downplayed his delay: "If they tell me that I leave Moncloa at a quarter to eleven, I leave at that time," he said.

But the truth is that since he was president of the Government, errors and problems with the uses and customs on the day of the National Holiday occur every year.

In 2018, Sánchez went with his wife to the parade and the subsequent reception.

As President of the Government, he is the first to greet the Kings in the kissing of hands.

And so the president and his wife entered the throne room.

However, after shaking hands with Don Felipe and Doña Letizia, instead of continuing on their way, they stood by his side to greet the rest of the guests, in fact they came to shake hands with

Ana Pastor

, then president of Congress.

A member of protocol had to signal them to continue on their way.

In 2019, Pedro Sánchez arrived at

Paseo de la Castellana

on time, twenty minutes before the Kings arrived.

Then the president endured all that time of whistles and boos from the public, who have never hidden their rejection of the president of the Government.

In 2020, the pandemic reduced the parade to a military parade without an audience, so Sánchez's performance went unnoticed on that occasion.

The King and the Tortilla

Already last year, when there were still

Covid measures

, the president chose to arrive at the parade as close as possible to the arrival time of the Kings.

Sánchez knows that Felipe VI and Doña Letizia wake up alive in the public.

However, although he tried not to spend much time without them, the public rebuked him again.

Perhaps for that reason -or because of the protocol error, although...-, Sánchez arrived at La Castellana yesterday after the Kings.

And without being announced over the public address system.

Despite the precautions, he did not get rid of the corresponding whistle, and shouts that increased the tone, even insults such as "son of a bitch."

Some shouts that not only make Sánchez uncomfortable, but also the normal celebration of the act, since they cause the King to have to review the troops between shouts and boos, which are measured with the cheers received by Felipe VI, who does have the favor of the attendees.

His problems with the public are already known in the PSOE.

And other comrades take the opportunity to experience what would happen if... Perhaps that is why yesterday, Emiliano García-Page, president of Castilla La Mancha, arrived near the rostrum of authorities half an hour in advance.

He even took a walk and had a coffee in a place full of public of the parade in the square of the

Sacred Hearts

.

He did not receive any reproach.

Moreover, some people came to say hello and asked for photos, like some 30-year-olds from Navarra or a family that came from Talavera.

From Page's environment, they kept illustrating the contrast with the president.

After the parade, Pedro Sánchez went to

the Royal Palace

with the rest of the guests.

One more year it was he who opened the kissing of hands and, without making a mistake, he went to another room.

However, far from mixing with the rest of the guests, the President of the Government did not appear in the gala dining room until the King and Queen did, when another anomalous situation occurred.

The halberdiers of the Royal House stood at attention at the door of the dining room, a gesture that announces the arrival of their Majesties.

But Sánchez crossed the threshold with them, next to him, at his height.

At that moment, the press approached the president, who moved away from the Kings, who mixed with the rest of the guests.

Sánchez, instead of waiting for the Monarch and his wife to leave, left the room minutes after arriving.
