Overview
¿Puede un rey equivocarse? ¿Puede un rey mostrarse humano?
Juan Carlos I ha pasado en pocos años de ser una figura querida e indiscutible para la sociedad española a tener que huir a la capital de los Emirates Árabes, Abu Dabi, envuelto en todo tipo de turbias polémicas, no solo económicas sino también por las traiciones de alguna de sus "amigas entrañables". Cada día que pasa nuevas noticias ensombrecen su imagen y también la de la monarquía.
Pero ¿está siendo justo el trato al rey emérito? ¿Se le está juzgando antes de otorgarle la debida presunción de inocencia? ¿Qué papel ha jugado Felipe VI en el exilio de su padre? Jaime Peñafiel, sin duda el mejor conocedor de la figura del monarca abdicado, analiza sus luces y sus sombras, sus malas compañías, su legado histórico y su talante -demasiado humano.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Can a king be wrong? Can a king be human?
Juan Carlos I has gone, in just a few years, from being a beloved and indisputable figure for the Spanish society to having to flee to the capital of the Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, mixed up in all kinds of murky controversies, not only economic but also due to betrayals from one of his "dear friends." Every day that passes new developments darken his image and also that of the monarchy.
But, is the emeritus king being treated fairly? Is he being tried before he’s granted the proper presumption of innocence? What role has Felipe VI played in his father's exile? Jaime Peñafiel, undoubtedly the best connoisseur of the abdicated monarch, analyzes his lights and shadows, his bad company, his historical legacy and his all too human nature.
