The Spanish press reported on Tuesday (April 7) on the controversy in France regarding the decision to award King Emeritus Juan Carlos for his memoir 'Reconciliação', co-authored with Laurence Debray. While the award, given by the association Lire la Société at the French National Assembly, recognizes his role in the democratic transition, it has sparked surprise and criticism in Spain. The book, which addresses his life, his relationship with his son Felipe VI, and his financial scandals, was well-received in France, where the jury maintains that they are honoring a historical work rather than engaging in Spanish political debates.
