The clash over Notre Dame culminates six months of tensions between the Government and Zarzuela, from the inaugurations to Paiporta

The Royal Family, which denies disagreements with the Executive, assumes the decision that the Kings will not travel to Paris after learning of the unrest in Foreign Affairs.

Spain’s institutional absence on Saturday at the reopening of Notre Dame puts the spotlight back on the relationship between the Government and the Royal Family. The non-attendance of the King and Queen and the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, invited to the event, has moved the tectonic faults of institutional relations.

The government and the PSOE focused on Zarzuela as being responsible for the Spanish void in a cathedral where Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, and Prince William of England were.

Foreign Affairs expressed this Tuesday its displeasure with the Royal Family for not having been aware that Don Felipe and Doña Letizia had been invited and had declined to attend, according to sources from this department. Zarzuela denies any disagreement with the Executive and settled the matter with an unusual mea culpa .
