Here there is a sample of like some politicians , and the supposedly serious press behave ... if the serious one behaves this way, to imagine how the not serious one behaves.
Besides the act, with the regards and the speeches, later there is in the habit of being a " Spanish wine " (a cocktail); in it, the Royal Family, the politicians, the military and the press are mixed.

Zarzuela gives a room of the Palace to Zapatero to finish with the "groups"
Years ago it was exceptional that a politician was doing declarations to the Press in presence of a member of the Royal Family and, at some time that happened, the politician in question was re-lit by the Palace of The Zarzuela. What yes the journalists were doing, logically, was to take advantage of the politicians' presence in the receipts of the Kings to obtain some information, but everything was done by a great discretion, one was not in the habit of the source mentioning and was avoided to put between inverted commas the declarations.
Nevertheless, already in times of the previous prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar, the "groups called" started turning into something habitual into the receipts that the Kings were offering. And, in the last years, Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's image has not been absent surrounded with dozens of accumulated journalists - every time time any more - either, that they were fighting to hear his words. Not noticing to the requests of Zarzuela, the politicians were taking advantage of the acts of the Royal Family to give up their declarations, without thinking that they are not the hosts.
In order to avoid this practice, a speaker of Zarzuela warned yesterday the journalists that if the "groups" were persisting, the presence of the Press in the Royal Palace would finish on having finished the institutional speeches and they would not return to be invited to the posterior receipts.
Simultaneously, one agreed to facilitate a room of the Royal Palace, contiguous to which the Kings were, in order that there Royal could do declarations without offer this bad image of the "group" in the middle of the receipt.

I love it though!
