Los hombres de Felipe VI

Being close to the Spanish, earning their respect, ensuring the dignity of the monarchy, observing honest and transparent conduct... are the challenges that Felipe VI set himself the day he assumed the Crown, aware that only in this way could he have authority morality to exercise his functions as king. Eight years have passed since the speech delivered on June 19, 2014, when he came to the throne. During this period, he has had to grit his teeth at times such as the accusation of his sister Cristina, whom he stripped of the dukedom of Palma, or the investigations into his father's money abroad, which led him to abandon his institutional activities and, finally, to self-exile in Abu Dhabi. The reign of Felipe VI is taking place at a turbulent time, the scene of the independence referendum in Catalonia (which forced him to come to the fore with a speech that was described as "his 23-F") and the formation of a Government PSOE-Podemos, to which has been added, in case something was missing, the devastating covid pandemic. Don Felipe has faced these challenges by putting into practice the preparation that "the king's men" have given him for years: soldiers, diplomats, teachers, politicians, intellectuals, journalists... who have trained, educated, helped, accompanied and served him. , and that, in this way, they have made possible the success that the surveys on their valuation reflect today. Who they are and what these men have contributed is discussed in detail in this book, which is, at the same time, a new and exciting biography of the current monarch written by the main specialist in the figure represented by Felipe VI.
