The post-electoral calendar counterprograms Princess Leonor on her admission to the Military Academy

Leonor is preparing to enter the General Military Academy of Zaragoza. There are weeks left for that August 17 when the heiress dresses as a cadet lady. At 10:00 a.m. that day, the Princess will join the rest of the cadets who are beginning their military studies. It was published by the Official Gazette of the Ministry of Defense. It’s her moment. But it has coincided in time with the post-electoral calendar of 23-J. The circumstance occurs that that same August 17, when the eldest daughter of Felipe VI and Letizia began her training in the Army, the Cortes were constituted. Congress and the Senate. Each and every one of the 350 deputies and deputies will swear an oath and promise their position to the president of the Chamber. EFE points out that on the 21st of that month the first round of contacts with Zarzuela will be established. In other words, summer shorter than ever for the King.

This is not the only coincidence of dates. Felipe VI will receive the president of Congress, who will inform him of the political parties that have achieved parliamentary representation in the past elections. The monarch will meet with each of them in order of the number of seats each have scored. The round of consultations will last several days. After this round, the head of state will propose the winner of the elections to form a government. In this case, the most voted candidate, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. If there is no possibility of forming a Government, the request goes to the second most voted, Pedro Sánchez. This puts us at the end of August.

We make a subsection because on the 29th of that month the Infanta Sofía flies from the nest to Wales, where she will study the International Baccalaureate at the UWC Atlantic College, just like her sister did. Most likely, the Kings will travel to the Adolfo Suárez-Madrid Barajas airport to say goodbye to her. There will be hugs and excitement at T-4.

More dates. For Sánchez to be sworn in as president, he must have 176 seats. According to the terms of the Chamber, the candidate has two months. We are going to November. If he does not achieve agreements, pacts and votes, the King will again dissolve the Cortes and, again, will call elections. Leonor turns 18 on October 31. She will be her coming of age when she is sworn in to the Constitution. We will see if by then the Parliament is constituted and we have a president.
