The emeritus is not willing to turn the royal family’s second divorce into a show, much less risk leaking secrets and information that could harm his son Felipe and the Monarchy. That is why he has ordered his daughter Cristina to swallow with the new economic pretensions of Iñaki Urdangarin and has given the green light to the agreement that will be signed in the coming weeks.
And not only that. According to journalist Juan Luis Galiacho, Don Juan Carlos He will take care of all the expenses of the divorce, including the compensation that his former son-in-law has requested as payment for his services to Zarzuela and that exceeds two million euros.
As we reported this Thursday, the agreements between Urdangarin and the Infanta Cristina stipulated a monthly payment of 25,000 euros and a single payment of two million euros as compensation. However, in recent days, the former Duke of Palma had considered that these amounts were not sufficient and had increased his claims. “In these days the situation has become more complicated, it has become even more blurred and now Iñaki Urdangarin wants more,” said Galiacho. “The situation is so complicated that right now there is total hostility between the Infanta Cristina and him. He has asked for more, both in the monthly pension and in compensation of two million, which seems few to him. In addition, he wants them in a single payment “.
The controversy of the escorts
On the other hand, Urdangarin would have refused to dispense with his escorts, financed by the Government. This Friday, Informalia has contacted sources from the Secretary of State for Security to clarify the situation: “The evaluations are constant, periodic and the decisions are applied or not applied immediately and Urdangarin will have them as long as the Interior considers it prompt”.
Thus, both Iñaki’s refusal and that of the escorts themselves to withdraw the service is not relevant: “An agent does not decide in front of a superior to continue in a service from which they intend to relieve him because he is happy or dissatisfied. And the person under surveillance, be it whoever he is, does not decide whether or not to maintain surveillance, which depends exclusively on the Secretary of State for Security.He is sometimes asked about relevant questions, such as if he has observed any danger or something suspicious, if for some reason he fears for his integrity and this kind of thing, but not if he wants to continue having escorts or not.”
