The hangover of the historic kiss of Felipe VI to Juan Carlos I in Athens: the emeritus “is older”, to return to Spain in February

It was a goodbye kiss, but of incalculable value because of how significant and spontaneous it was.. Don Felipe hugged and kissed Don Juan Carlos in Tatoi, Athens, after the burial of Constantine II, as reported by the Greek media. It was an affectionate gesture from son to father, far removed from the official narrative of the distance and coldness between the two. Now we live in that undertow, in the post kiss. Apparently, the head of state would seek the option of a temporary return of Juan Carlos I to Spain. Not only that, but it would be conducive to raising this operation with the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez. It is published by El Confidencial Digital.

A temporary stay, in February and outside the Palacio de Zarzuela. These are the three parameters that are being considered to launch the operation to return Juan Carlos I. Casa Real would study this option together with the Government.

The emeritus, in the funeral ceremonies in memory of his brother-in-law Constantine, showed mobility difficulties. It was difficult for him to walk and he used a cane and two assistants. He arrived at the Tatoi estate, where the burial took place, in a golf buggy. Don Juan Carlos “is older”, details the aforementioned digital citing sources around him.

After Don Felipe’s hug and kiss to his father, this moment would be the most propitious for the former head of state to return to Spain, after having spent Christmas and his 85th birthday in Abu Dhabi. Let’s not forget that his temporary return to be with his family was a wish that he expressed via a statement and that, for now, he has remained there, a wish. All this is a consequence of the media hurricane that generated his first visit, in May 2022.
