About to finish her military training, Princess Leonor has become the protagonist of Armed Forces Day (Difas), which was celebrated this Saturday in Vigo with a parade that was marred by the accidental fall of the Spanish flag from the mast where it had been hoisted and the cancellation, due to bad weather, of the aerial parade. It is the first time that, alongside the Kings, the heir attends the military celebration and her presence was meant to certify her commitment to, and belonging with, the armed forces.

Between the Andalusian elections of last May 17 and the indictment of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the parties allied in Sumar raised the purpose of regrouping to turn around future prospects in which they see themselves dragged by the decline of the national left against the right and the far right. But the alleged corruption cases affecting the socialists have impacted this purpose, generating a problem: the need to distance themselves from their Government colleagues, and an opportunity: to draw support from voters disillusioned with the PSOE.

Miguel Tellado, secretary general of the PP, traveled this Saturday to Bilbao to preside over an event with members of the Basque Popular Party and his speech focused on the corruption cases surrounding Pedro Sánchez and the support of the PNV for the Government. In this regard, he warned the Basque nationalists and Aitor Esteban that it is not enough to call for elections, but they have to take a step forward: “Why don’t they provoke them?”.
