Pite, boos and insults. The president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has not had the best day of him today. Both when he arrived and when he left he has had to hear the sound of the wind, that of the protests of those who have approached the Paseo de la Castellana de Madrid to celebrate the day of Hispanidad and the military stop.
It was sounding for the speakers announcing his assistance, and a torrent of cries and insult filled the Paseo de la Castellana: "Traitor", "resignation", were the most hearted screaming. The President of the Government failed to avoid a generalized boo despite the fact that the public was far from the place where the authorities were.
Sánchez tried to arm himself from the whim looking for the proximity of the royal house. In fact, he arrived with the vehicle entourage of him just two minutes before the royal family arrived at the square. But, despite the movements of him, they caused surprise, since he broke the usual protocols looking for the closeness of Felipe VI as he realized the magazine, the boo was constant towards him. Not even looking for the vicinity of the Queen he avoided it.
It was also striking that the President of Government as well as the Madrid authorities, the President Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, while focused on serving his defense minister, Margarita Robles.
The boos to Sánchez contrasted with the love with which the kings were received by the public at their entrance on the Paseo de la Castellana. The "alive to the king" and "alive to Spain", became the soundtrack of the day.
It was not a surprise. The precedent of the whites of the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, in an institutional act of the Civil Guard and pointed out what was going to happen. Again today, the home holder received sound boos. In the minds of many of the Protestants, the penitentiary policy with the prisoners of ETA.
Today has been the first major castren act, open to the public, which is celebrated after starting up restrictions on the pandemic.
The day of Hispanidad began soon, at 8.30. The Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, maintained a multi-conference with the controls of the international missions in which Spain participates.
Subsequently, he moved to the Castellana where, under the presidency of the kings, this military stop was celebrated, which, as the minister remembered, can be carried out after a "very hard" stage. Because, during these months, the military have had to carry out an operation in national territory, unprecedented: the Balmi operation and, later Baluarte. Dedicated to the decontamination of senior centers and strategic facilities, the transfer of tens of thousands of deceased, the provisioning of essential health materials ... and, in addition, actions after the Filomena disaster. And the current works in La Palma. And the evacuation operation of Afghanistan ...
"They deserve it," they pointed out from Moncloa when there were still doubts about the convenience of convening this event by the evolution of Coronavirus. And so it has been. 2,656 Military of the three armies, 68 aircraft and 115 vehicles have parade before the kings. The pistolleta of the central acts, the hoisting of the flag and the homage to the fallen by Spain. Subsequently, an air and terrestrial parade. And then a reception in the Royal Palace, very restricted by the internal security measures against the Covid: without agape and with masks.
On the Paseo de la Castellana, thousands of people who crossed the uniformed in the day have been quoted.
