The scene of <strong>a prime minister fleeing the town while the King stays to listen to the people has been devastating for S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, who has been seen as a coward, capable of abandoning the King in the face of a protest by people who had been without water or electricity for days, due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/11\/02\/pedro-sanchez-took-4-days-to-order-a-large-military-deployment-and-justified-it-by-lying\/\">the government's poor management<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54117218655_6a2ff82d9c_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The poor image that S\u00e1nchez has given is counterpointed, moreover, by <strong>the praise of the King for his bravery, even by openly republican people<\/strong>, as could be seen yesterday in some media outlets and on social networks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54115894427_e0781be81b_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These compliments are well deserved. While S\u00e1nchez was on the run, <strong>Felive VI and Letizia showed their humanity and closeness to the people and reinforced the image of the Monarchy<\/strong>, an institution that enjoys much more prestige in Spain than the political class.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54117224900_70c97f6f22_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><big>The government uses its friendly media to attack the King<\/big><\/p>\n<p><strong>The S\u00e1nchez government has reacted to this situation by unleashing a new campaign against the King.<\/strong> The campaign began yesterday afternoon with a statement leaked by the government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldiario.es\/comunitat-valenciana\/valencia\/vecinos-vecinas-lanzan-fango-abuchean-reyes-felipe-letizia-paiporta-grito-asesinos_1_11787840.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to the pro-government media Eldiario.es<\/a>, stating that the visit to Paiporta was <em>\"<strong>an effort by the king that should not have happened. A gigantic mistake<\/strong>\"<\/em>. These words, coming from an anonymous source (the aforementioned media attributed them to \"sources from the Executive\") <strong>were quickly reproduced by a multitude of media in the following hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening, the socialist minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/11\/04\/ana-pastor-vs-iker-jimenez-the-big-difference-between-two-programs-about-the-catastrophe\/\">\u00d3scar Puente joined in with these criticisms of the King's visit from La Sexta<\/a>, stating that <em>\"<strong>it was perhaps not the most opportune moment<\/strong>\"<\/em> to make the visit, since <em>\"tempers were very heated\"<\/em>. It is curious to observe that <strong>this government, which never acknowledges any error<\/strong> and in which there are never resignations for anything, <strong>always insists on attributing errors to others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This Monday, another pro-government media outlet, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/6wLdF#selection-529.632-529.734\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the socialist newspaper El Pa\u00eds, headlined a news item as follows<\/a>: <em>\"<strong>The King wanted to visit 'ground zero' of the Dana despite the risk of protests<\/strong>.\"<\/em> The news item again cites anonymous sources from La Moncloa, that is, from the presidency of the government, which yesterday must have been very active <strong>leaking criticism of the King to media outlets close to the socialist executive in an attempt to cover up S\u00e1nchez's cowardice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><big>Spanish television hides S\u00e1nchez's cowardly escape<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TvPlataforma\/status\/1853163050934693966\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the RTVE Libre Platform denounced the manipulation of the visit by Televisi\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola,<\/a> the public channel controlled by the government: <em>\"<strong>They hide Schez's escape behind the Crown and relate the social protest with \"the extreme right.\"<\/strong> The images, with Mazon next to the King, contradict the Sanchista story\"<\/em>. RTVE's manipulation is yet another example of what some already know as the <strong>\"synchronized opinion team\"<\/strong> of the government and its related media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let us remember that last Wednesday,<\/strong> while thousands of Valencians had already been without electricity or water for hours and many bodies remained uncollected, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/11\/03\/for-the-government-it-was-more-urgent-to-assault-rtve-than-to-send-the-army-to-save-lives\/\">the government and its partners saw it as more \"urgent\" to assault the RTVE board,<\/a> in a parliamentary vote that provoked indignation and led the opposition to leave Congress in protest. <strong>This RTVE in the hands of the government is the one that yesterday crudely manipulated the King's visit to Paiporta,<\/strong> hiding S\u00e1nchez's cowardice. This is what they want our taxes for, and not to help the victims of the cold drop when it was still possible to save lives.<\/p>\n<p><big>Attacks on the Monarchy have so far increased support for the King<\/big><\/p>\n<p>It is worth remembering that <strong>this is not the first campaign that the S\u00e1nchez government has carried out against the Monarchy<\/strong>, in its eagerness to attack those institutions of the State that are not controlled by the socialists. However, until now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/08\/07\/su-ataque-al-rey-se-vuelve-contra-el-psoe-y-podemos-aumenta-el-apoyo-a-la-monarquia\/\">these attacks have only managed to increase support for the Monarchy in Spain<\/a>. It does not seem that the action of the government's synchronized opinion team will be able to change this after what we saw yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/casareal.es\/ES\/Actividades\/Paginas\/actividades_actividades_detalle.aspx?data=16319\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Casa Real<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The incidents that occurred yesterday in Paiporta and the cowardly flight of Pedro S\u00e1nchez, abandoning the King, have had international repercussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10398],"tags":[6682,22967,100,6198,11044,210,22992,22983,693,2721,1291,11462,1927,11862],"class_list":["post-57651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-spain","tag-oscar-puente","tag-cold-drop-disaster-in-spain-in-october-2024","tag-el-pais","tag-eldiario-es","tag-felipe-vi-of-spain","tag-la-sexta","tag-letizia-ortiz","tag-paiporta","tag-psoe","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon","tag-rtve","tag-spain","tag-valencia","tag-valencian-community"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57651"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57651\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
