King Felipe VI's tribute in Guernica, along with the German president, transcends any protocol and symbolizes respect for the victims of the Guernica bombing.
The visit connects with the one of Juan Carlos I in 1981, reaffirming that the Crown is at the service of coexistence based on law, freedom and recognition of the painful past.
The accusations of the PNV, questioning the legitimacy of the parliamentary monarchy and demanding an 'apology' ignore the constitutional framework of 1978, delegitimizing themselves and diminishing the tribute.
The memory of the victims does not belong to any party, but to the entire nation.
Conclusion: King Felipe VI's tribute in Guernica symbolizes the respectful memory of victims and the solemnity of history, being unnecessarily criticized by PNV instead of focusing on the importance of national memory.
