¿Debe el Rey ir a Ceuta?
Es seguro que Don Felipe se vería rodeado de una enfervorecida muchedumbre nada más poner pie en la ciudad autónoma. Leer
The King may visit Ceuta, but the question remains whether the Spanish Government will permit it. Prince Felipe faces significant pressure from the regional government and its president, Juan Jesús Vivas, who has openly expressed his desire for the King to pay a visit to the autonomous city. Vivas mentioned that the King expressed his concerns over the aggression against a section of Spain and emphasized the need for cooperation from Morocco for the repatriation of irregular immigrants.
The controversy began when Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish prime minister, stated that he had visited Ceuta four times, the last being on July 31st where he condemned the violation and attack on the territorial integrity of Spain. Sánchez's question regarding how many times the King had been to Ceuta was considered disrespectful and untrue by many.
The debate has exposed the constitutional mechanisms that allow the King to propose initiatives, while the Government has the final say on their approval. The King, as the symbol of national unity, is expected to maintain a distance from the political fray while the Government decides whether it is prudent for the King to visit Ceuta.
