The Prime Minister sent a letter to the emeritus on January 5, his 85th birthday, to congratulate him on such a special date. A brief and concise letter that he sent on behalf of the entire Executive and whose content he has revealed this Monday Carlos Herrera in Cope: “Your Majesty, the Government and I wish you a happy 85th birthday.

the letter of Pedro Sanchez is purely institutional and reminds you of Don Juan CarlosFurthermore, his time is past. And it is that the relationship between the president and the emeritus is increasingly tense. In fact, Herrera has also revealed on Monday the instructions that the PSOE leader issued from Moncloa to the Spanish ambassador in Abu Dhabi (Íñigo de Palacio) when the king packed his bags three years ago to take refuge in the emirates in full controversy over Corinna and Treasury: “He told him that there was no water. (…) That when he has to fix a piece of paper, he is not even received”said the journalist.
Don Juan Carlos’ last public appearance was last Wednesday, when he attended the event held in honor of Mario Vargas Llosa for his admission to the French Academy. It was in Paris and the emeritus came accompanied by his daughter, the Infanta Cristina. He seemed happy, attended to the press and even enjoyed a dinner in the company of the French president, Emmanuelle Macron.
