Beatriz González-Rico, known to fans as Bea ‘La Legionaria’, returns this week as a focal point in contemporary television and online discourse. A former contestant on the sixth season of a popular reality program, she shared a video on her TikTok channel showing a dramatic confrontation with King Felipe VI after Pedro Sánchez was named to form a government.
“You are abandoning us. You are the king, you are everything. You are married to a Republican, and the Bourbon line seems to have vanished with you.” The former participant began the message with a direct, urgent plea.
“Your Majesty, you owe this to Spain. Not to Letizia or the Republic. You are a monarchist, and it is you who should defend us. You have not done this. Therefore, I question whether I should even defend you.” Defend you or not, she suggested, might mean leaving Spain. She emphasized that there are Spaniards everywhere and many women, but she claimed that in Spain there is only one nation. The message concluded with that provocative note from Bea ‘La Legionaria’ in the video.
This release follows previous expressions of closeness to Vox, a political party, which Bea had hinted at in past interviews. In a 2019 interview with El Español, she indicated a strong alignment with the movement’s figures, saying, “To death with Abascal. I hear her speak and I even cry.”
“Finally, someone looking for Spain, by the Spaniards, and for the Spaniards. Finally a real person. Someone who will help us and is not afraid.” The former reality show contestant described herself as “right-wing, democratic and monarchical,” conveying a sense of national pride and a willingness to speak openly about political loyalties. The tone reflected a broader arc of public statements where personal identity and national perspective intersect with contemporary political discourse, drawing sharp reactions across social platforms (source: El Español, 2019).
