Pedro Sánchez takes the lead, and Alberto Núñez Feijóo delivers the final blow: Juan Carlos I should return. After everything we've read about the king's role during this intensive course on February 23rd that we've just been given, what importance can the emeritus king's tax and romantic scandals possibly have? How can the king who brought democracy and saved it continue to live punished in exile? The fact that crucial conversations from that day and the days before aren't recorded anywhere is no longer important. And those with connections get amnesty.

So, the fulfillment of the prophecy is now closer: the day the biological event occurs, a million people will be in the streets accompanying Juan Carlos's funeral, to whom the honors of a head of state can then be rendered without any kind of mental restriction. We will once again feel that the Spanish people are very wise, because they know how to distinguish what is important from personal weaknesses, and they know how to forgive. And the State, even more so. As Rubalcaba said: "In Spain, they bury their dead very well."

Sánchez has just made a state play. He should return the emeritus king, but only based on proven historical merit (through partial declassification) and not out of human compassion. The adversaries embrace for a day, and the streets rejoice. The grand coalition always works in Spain, even when the Prime Minister laughs at the leader of the opposition in every question time session, and the leader of the opposition hopes to one day see the Prime Minister in front of a judge. A well-trodden path for Felipe de Borbón to make the decisions he deems appropriate. He will no longer have to feel guilty.
