Juan Carlos I breaks his silence away from the royal family and decides to confess everything

Juan Carlos I has broken his silence in the last few hours. He has done so far from the Royal Family to confess what he was going to do about one of the most desired moments.

However, his words have caused a stir. They have shown that he doesn't want to get into controversies or directly that he wants to downplay a relevant issue he faces.

Juan Carlos I decides to speak unexpectedly

Juan Carlos I had a very significant appointment today in Santander. No less than the conciliation act with Miguel Ángel Revilla. An act that was organized after having sued him for defamation and violating his right to honor.

About this, the emeritus was asked hours before. The press wanted to know if he was going to attend it, and he decided to speak. Unexpectedly, and far from the Royal Family, as he is in Sanxenxo, he decided to confess what he was going to do.

Specifically, the father of Felipe VI replied: “I haven't been to Santander for a long time. I'm staying here until Sunday for the regattas.” Words that have caused a stir, as they have made his stance clear.

With them, he seems to have made it clear that he didn't want to get into controversies, that he leaves the matter in the hands of his lawyers. Although others have interpreted it as a way to downplay the mentioned act.

Juan Carlos I prioritizes the regattas over the judicial act

The conciliation act in Santander, scheduled for today, aimed to solve the lawsuit filed by Juan Carlos I against Miguel Ángel Revilla. The emeritus king is claiming compensation of €50,000, which he assures he will donate to Cáritas if he receives it.

Despite the relevance of the event, the father of Felipe VI has chosen to remain in Sanxenxo, participating in nautical activities. In other words, he hasn't gone to the Cantabrian capital to attend the mentioned appointment.

Revilla, meanwhile, has appeared in the Santander court without yet knowing the monarch's decision. There, at the doors, he has reaffirmed his stance: “I'm going to keep what I said. As this will likely end in a trial, I hope he comes.”

To which he added: “People have come to hug me and encourage me. People are with me. I would tell him that he has disappointed me, and I, who don't keep quiet about the injustices I see, have felt obliged to say what I think.”

“I haven't made anything up. Let him apologize and repatriate all the money he has.”

We will have to wait to see what he thinks after seeing that the emeritus king has refused to meet him face to face. Surely we will know soon.

Juan Carlos I's decision not to attend the judicial act coincides with the upcoming publication of his memoirs in France, titled Reconciliation. In this book, he seeks to tell his version of events and prevent others from making a narrative of his own story.

Therefore, the combination of his absence from the judicial act and the publication of his memoirs suggests that he seeks to control his narrative. Avoid public confrontations that could harm his image or that of the monarchical institution.

In summary, the emeritus king has chosen to keep away from the legal controversy with Revilla, delegating the matter to his lawyers. Focusing his attention on personal activities and managing his legacy through his memoirs. This strategy has caused various interpretations and has reignited the debate about his role in Spain's recent history.
