Not a word will make the situation worse, but Juan Carlos de Borbón has avoided much criticism due to the difficulty of labeling his forced transfer from La Zarzuela to Abu Dhabi as unbecoming of a democratic Head of State. The displacement even reminds, geographically, of Tunisian dictator Ben Ali who died in Saudi Arabia, or Afghan president Ghani, fleeing the Taliban to the same Emirates that housed the Spanish king.

On the second anniversary of the installation in the Gulf, confusion continues over the term appropriate and proportionate housing. From the very beginning, retiring to Abu Dhabi is infamous for a foreign king worse than a cell in a Spanish prison, where the Supreme Court prosecutor assured him that the penultimate Head of State would claim it for any other citizen who shared his tax status. But even assuming the hypothetical voluntariness of the movement, the vocabulary confusion persists.

Is Juan Carlos I a refugee, exile, exile or fugitive? Everything except a rude resident living in Abu Dhabi, according to which the affected person’s newspapers wrote insulting articles directed at his son. Emeritus’ embarrassing political transition from divine leader at a very good price to criminal investigation triggered an extraordinary collapse in terminology. As the great De Quincey said, you start by committing a heinous crime and start typing with typos.

It’s not the first time Juan Carlos has strained his imagination, but it has already happened when he came to describe his unique romance with Corinna. The Puritans stood in a “close relationship” until the affected person invented the “dear friend”, which opened up the evolution to the common “lovers” title, which is unanimously accepted today. The Honorary King shares the uncertainty of his marital status with Puigdemont, who undoubtedly fled to Spain despite the excellent reception of the dictatorships of the European Union. In fact, the famous Spanish duality works here, and those who wish to praise the return of the one for the multitude symmetrically preach the execution of the other. In short, the juancarlistas now insist that they can return to Spain whenever they want, as long as their idol doesn’t.
