Spanish Minister Óscar Puente criticizes King Felipe VI

Spanish Minister of Transport Óscar Puente has drawn criticism following remarks directed at King Felipe VI. The controversy stems from an incident in Cali, Colombia, where the King was photographed greeting and posing with a controversial communicator, Javier Negre.

Critics argue that Puente’s accusations against the Monarch regarding this interaction are unfounded and serve as a distraction from other government issues, including corruption scandals and regional crises. Some observers suggest the Minister’s rhetoric may reflect a broader tension between the current administration under Pedro Sánchez and the Monarchy.
