“A mobilization of all those people who think that the monarchy is an obsolete institution, a holdover from the past, is necessary.” This is how the manifesto “Felipe VI: 10 years is enough” begins, which is launched this Tuesday, the same day that Leonor de Borbón swears in the Constitution as heir, to start a movement that will conclude on the tenth anniversary of the coronation of Felipe VI, in June 2024, with a demonstration in favor of the republic as a form of State.

The manifesto, originated in the republican athenaeums of Madrid (from the Vallecas and Carabanchel neighborhoods, as well as the municipality of Rivas-Vaciamadrid) is signed at its launch by more than 250 people. Some notable names are the former vice president of the Government and former leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, the writer Carlos Bardem, the environmentalist and feminist activist Yayo Herrero, the actor Alberto San Juan, the trans activist Mar Cambrollé, the journalist Olga Rodríguez or the Cádiz group Caliphate ¾, among other well-known and anonymous names.
The objective is to promote a process throughout the State that concludes in social mobilization in favor of the republic. “The undersigned launch this manifesto with which we propose a republican march for democracy on Sunday, June 16, 2024. Those days will mark ten years since the coronation of Felipe VI after the abdication of Juan Carlos I. We believe that it is “A mobilization of all those people who think that the monarchy is an obsolete institution, a holdover from the past is necessary,” notes the document, which can be consulted in its entirety, along with the list of signatories, at the end of this information.
The promoters make the manifesto coincide with the swearing-in of the Constitution by Leonor de Borbón, which will take place this Tuesday, the day of her 18th birthday. “Next June will mark ten years since the beginning of the reign of Felipe VI. The Crown then starred in an unprecedented coronation ceremony, which served to separate his father, Juan Carlos I, as king emeritus in a golden retirement, just when only the tip of the iceberg of his carousel of corruption began to be known,” the signatories point out. .
“We firmly believe in equality before the law for all people. We believe that those people who exercise responsibilities in the State must be responsible to popular sovereignty. This democratic conception is incompatible with the principle of irresponsibility and inviolability included in the Spanish Constitution,” he adds.
The manifesto maintains that “monarchical power is not only the king, it is also that privileged minority that rules without standing for election, that entrenches itself in the State apparatus and in the boards of directors of large companies and does not accept popular sovereignty.” ”. And he concludes with a quote from the poem ‘Spain on the Move’, by Gabriel Celaya: “Next June we will take to the streets ‘to walk in body, it’s time’, to announce that in the face of the decline of the monarchy, democracy “It will make way for the republic of the 21st century.”
In addition to those mentioned, among the signatories are the former deputies Rosa Medel and Rafael Mayoral, the journalist Cristina Fallarás, the comedian Facu Díaz, the members of Los Chikos del Maiz, or the former director of the Women’s Institute, Beatriz Gimeno, among others. .
