  • The King's tour of Baltic countries has served to strengthen the relationship with important European partners and Spain's commitment to the defence of the region against Russia's threat.
  • The absence of government members during the visit to Estonia and Lithuania and the late inclusion of the Minister of Defence in Latvia shows a lack of respect for the Monarch's role and the Baltic countries.
  • This is not an exception as the King has attended without any minister to four inaugurations in Latin American countries.
  • King Felipe VI has fulfilled his responsibilities with the prudence and neutrality that his position demands, but the government has not shown the desirable consideration.

Conclusion: The government shows little consideration and respect for the monarch's role in international relations, despite the prudence and neutrality with which the King has fulfilled his responsibilities.
