Unlike previous years, the most notable absence during the visit of King

Felipe VI

this morning to the

Mobile Mobile World Congress

(MWC) was not the traditional address by the President of the Generalitat,

Pere Aragonès

, and the Mayor of Barcelona,

Ada Colau

, upon the arrival of the Monarch, but rather that of the President of the Government,

Pedro Sánchez

, during the tour that the Head of State has led through the technological hall on the occasion of its inauguration.

After the usual meeting with representatives of various exhibiting companies, in which Aragonès and Colau did participate and greet the Monarch, and the protocol photo, the Chief Executive has distanced himself from the subsequent delegation of authorities because he had a scheduled meeting with the CEO of

Orange

,

Christel Heydemann

, and another with

Javier Oliván

, director of Operations at

Meta

and considered

Mark Zuckerberg

's right-hand man in the company.

Sources from the Royal House have indicated that the

agendas

between Felipe VI and Sánchez are perfectly coordinated and have framed the presidential absence within the normality of the event, which as a general rule accompanied the King on a walk through the fairgrounds.

On the tour, which lasted just over an hour, the First Vice President and Minister for Economic Affairs,

Nadia Calviño

, the Government delegate in Catalonia,

Maria Eugènia Gay

, the mayoress of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and President of the Barcelona Provincial Council,

Núria Marín

, and Colau.

The authorities have visited the

GSMA

stand (the technology employers' association that organizes the MWC), the

Spanish Pavilion

, the space of the public-private foundation

Mobile World Capital Barcelona

and those of Orange,

Telefónica

and

Vodafone

.

Between these last two stands, and without it being programmed, the Monarch stopped for a moment in front of the American company

Cisco Systems , which announced in November that it would open its first

microchip

design center

in the European Union in Barcelona.

Sources from the Royal House have indicated that the King could make another visit to the room this afternoon, although it was already outside the official protocol.
