Most of the video footage of these activities are days late and sometimes often up to a week if were lucky to even get one.

Though I'ma bit surprised they have gone ignored by the media.

I am surprised how bad the website casareal.es is, very often it takes ages to open or there is no connection to a specific content.

Usually there is an agenda prevista so the press knows upfront where to be and can arrange their coverage. This is not the case since Corona and the pictures are very boring, King & Queen sitting in front of a screen.

It was crashing and off line quite a bit earlier this year ,it needs some work for the 21st century.

RTVE, the public television, has been controlled for months by Podemos, so it is neither new nor strange that they hide the Head of State, if it is not to talk about his father's controversies.

The Casa Real YouTube channel normally has videos from the EFE Agency, which is also controlled by the government. Since the arrival of PSOE and Podemos, the videos have taken a long time to appear. Also the web server is controlled by the government.

The Spanish government is mismanaging the crisis, and the attitude of some media is more to protect the government than to report transparently. Some private media received financial aid at the start of the crisis, and will probably need more public aid ... so they must protect their money.

Spain is in a state of alarm, the government has special powers, and the King's room for maneuver is more limited. And a government with a lot of ego and that increasingly has a worse image, does not want the Head of State to overshadow them.
