  • Felipe VI made significant changes to the organizational chart of Zarzuela, appointing Camilo Villarino as the new Chief of the House and keeping Jaime Alfonsín as Private Advisor.
  • It is speculated that the changes signal an attempt to enhance the image of the Crown in a complex global context.
  • Villarino has worked for foreign ministers from both the PP and PSOE, bringing experience and autonomy to the role.
  • Villarino has recently been in charge of the office of the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Policy.
  • Sánchez chose to sacrifice González Laya to reorient Spain's position on the Sahara in favor of the Moroccan arguments.
  • The monarchy currently plays a vital role in the unity of Spain and the cohesion of the Spaniards.
