As from this moment there will be a round of consultations by the King with the political parties with parliamentary representation and the potential situation of <strong>Mariano Rajoy<\/strong> being commissioned to endeavour to form a government. Then the investiture would have to be convoked and, almost certainly, a second round of voting 48 hours after this date, which would probably be at the end of January.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The problem could arise if Rajoy did not achieve his objective and the King charged\u00a0<strong>Pedro S\u00e1nchez <\/strong>with the formation of the government, as the\u00a0PSOE was the second party with the most votes. This would take time, entering into February, and a time of uncertainty which could lead to the King changing his plans to travel to Saudi Arabia. However, at this point in time, the Royal Household has no plans to change the monarch&#8217;s dairy in respect of travel abroad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The difficulties in forming a new Spanish Government following the results of the general elections on 20 December could affect the travel arrangements of King Felipe and Queen Letizia that the Royal Household have planned for 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[159,165],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-the-bag-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
