Citizens were angry when it was revealed that the sisters of the King of Spain had been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to Euro News on the 4th (local time), the older sisters of Felipe VI King of Spain, Infantas Elena (57) and Christina (55), admitted on the 3rd that they had been vaccinated against Corona 19 in the UAE to receive a vaccine passport.
In a statement, media outlets such as La Vanguardia, a prestigious Catalonia province in Spain, said in a statement that the two were secretly vaccinated to freely meet the former king and father Juan Carlos I, who left for the UAE in August last year while being investigated for financial crimes. .
The two princesses are not eligible for vaccination in Spain. Spain is currently vaccinating the 65-year-old senior citizens and essential workers such as medical staff first.
Recently, a few civil servants, including the military commander, were caught ignoring the order and attempting to vaccination, and resignation occurred.
The current King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia and their daughters are said to have not been vaccinated yet.
Pablo Iglesia, the minister of the left coalition government and the representative of the radical left party, heard the news of the two princesses cutting vaccines and said, “Every new scandal against the royal family in Spanish society raises questions about whether the monarchy should continue.” “You have to set an example in this country,” he warned.
On the other hand, the opposition leader Conservative Party defended that “they were not stealing vaccines from Spanish citizens,” stressing the fact that the princesses were vaccinated in the UAE rather than in Spain.
