The president of the Spanish Congress, Ana Pastor, will represent Spain in the acts of inauguration of the new presidents of Colombia, Iván Duque -the next day 7- and of Paraguay, Mario Abdo Benítez, -on the 15th-, as agreed yesterday by the Council of Ministers.
Last Friday, Casa del Rey announced that Don Juan Carlos would not travel to Colombia for the inauguration of Duque because doctors advised him not to do intense physical activities due to the exacerbation of an old injury. A week before, the Government had published an agreement of the Council according to which King Juan Carlos would be in charge of representing Spain in Bogota, but immediately said that it had been an error.
