Spanish Government will denounce on the Court the Catalan rejection to the King

USPA NEWS - The Spanish Government will decide this week on the adoption of legal measures against the regional Parliament of Catalonia (Northeast of the country), after the approval by the Chamber of a resolution rejecting King Philip VI and calling for the abolition of the Monarchy. The Spanish Government considers the resolution "inadmissible" and "politically unacceptable."

The resolution approved by the Regional Parliament of Catalonia has only symbolic value, since the regional Chamber has no jurisdiction over the Head of State. But it is another step in the confrontation that the Catalan authorities have with the Spanish State. The resolution, which advocates "the abolition of an outdated and undemocratic institution such as the Monarchy," was approved by the independence parties plus the Catalan franchise of the extreme left coalition Podemos. This formation of republican ideology that, with 67 deputies in the national Parliament, has become the main support of the socialist Government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, does not hide his opposition to the King, whom he sees as the strongest figure of Spanish democracy and the objective to beat to end "the regime of 78", in reference to the agreements between parties that allowed the transition between the dictatorship and democracy.

As soon as the resolution of the Regional Parliament of Catalonia is known, the Spanish Government announced that it will denounce the Catalan Chamber in the courts. Although, shortly after, the Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez downplayed the decision of the Parliament of Catalonia, giving it declarative but not legal value, the vice president of the Spanish Government, Carmen Calvo, considered "very serious" the agreement of the Catalan Chamber and announced the presentation of a lawsuit against those responsible for the regional institution for its "inadmissible" and "politically unacceptable" resolution.

While in the high political spheres slogans are repeated and agreements negotiated, in the street the support to the King and the Monarchy increases. Last Friday, on the occasion of the celebration of the Holiday of the Hispanidad, tens of thousands of Spaniards expressed their support for the Royal Family in Madrid and Barcelona. At the same time, in Madrid, where the Kings presided over the military parade commemorating the National Holiday, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was greeted with whistles and shouts of "traitor" and "squatter", in reference to his access to power without an election.
