The visit made this Sunday to the town of Paiporta by King Felipe and Queen Letizia, along with Presidents Pedro Sánchez and Carlos Mazón, resulted in a trail of incidents, mud throwing and even aggressions with sticks and stones. But there were other citizens who also expressed their rejection of the presence of the authorities without violence, such as a neighbor who expressly addressed Queen Letizia to tell her that “today was not the day to come”.
In a video that has gone viral on social networks, the citizen calls the attention of the sovereign while talking to her team to tell her that “it was not the day to come here to have her picture taken”.. “You didn’t have to come,” criticizes that citizen, while other neighbors record the conversation between phrases of support for the interlocutor of Doña Letizia.
While the monarch held the hands of the neighbor and tried to talk to her, King Felipe VI approached both, at which point the citizen told him that “we would have to make direct dismissal” to the Government. Several of those present also took advantage of this moment to tell the king that “this government has to go”, to which the sovereign replied that “this is a democracy”. and the Executive has the support of the Congress emanating from the ballot box.
“It doesn’t look much like democracy anymore, your majesty”, replies another citizen to Felipe VI, who tries to explain that “everything that you perceive that doesn’t work well needs to be revised, that’s for sure, but this surpasses everything imaginable”. “A country like Spain should be more prepared for this!”, one of the neighbors present exclaims.
When there are already several people gathered around the kings, one of them reproaches Felipe VI that “you have to understand that you are blocking the movement of all the trucks, we have been here for two hours stopped for you and for those who have already left.” “But everything is a balance, if you want I don’t come and I stay in Madrid.”The king tries to explain himself, who also justifies that President Pedro Sanchez had left the town after being assaulted saying that “prudence also rules”. “The outburst is normal and must be understood, but it can become unmanageable,” said the monarch.
