The number three of the formation stresses that as long as the monarchy maintains inviolability it will be a “scourge” for democracy
MADRID, 25 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Several positions of Podemos have criticized the “makeup” and “false exercise of transparency” of King Felipe VI following the publication of his personal assets and conclude that as long as it enjoys inviolability, the monarchy will be a “scourge” for democracy.
“As long as the king is inviolable, it is impossible to know if the heritage he declares is real and any Royal Decree published in the BOE (Official State Gazette) can be skipped without any consequence,” the spokesman for United We Can in the Congress, Pablo Echenique.
In this way, he referred both to the Royal Decree that the Executive will approve tomorrow, by which transparency in the Royal House is reinforced, as well as the monarch’s decision to publish his personal assets, which exceeds 2.5 million euros.
For Echenique, it is regarding “make-up” that cannot cover “what a hereditary Head of State means above the law.”
The Casa del Rey has explained, in a statement, that Felipe VI’s assets come from the remuneration received by Don Felipe in the last 25 years, first as Prince of Asturias since 1998 and then since 2014 as monarch. In total, in this period he has received 4,275,766.94 euros, to which must be deducted the tax withholdings made as well as the taxes paid in these years.
“NO FACE WASHES NOR FALSE TRANSPARENCY EXERCISES”
The secretary of Organization of the purple formation, Lilith Verstrynge, has criticized that “as long as the monarchy maintains an inviolability it will be a scourge” for democracy.
“Neither facelifts, nor false exercises in transparency”, he launched to later affirm that the future of Spain “goes through ending monarchical privileges” and, consequently, also goes “through the republic”.
The deputy of the formation in Congress, Pedro Honrubia, has charged once morest the Royal House for incurring, in his opinion, in a “very serious” “anti-democratic” drift by not contacting ERC, Junts, the CUP, Bildu or BNG .
“It whitens and normalizes the fascism of Vox while pointing out and criminalizing legal parties that add up to millions of votes for pure and harsh militant political reasons,” the parliamentarian snapped.
