I'm very proud of them. These images are harrowing but show a King (and his consort) showing up, being with their people, listening to them even when the words they hear aren't nice. This is true leadership.
King Felipe looks like the leader of the nation. He has been able to withstand indignation, physical attacks, remained and stayed to try to calm the situation, listened, conveyed his empathy as much as possible, refused to let any umbrella protect him and refused to flee as the Prime Minister has done.
The juxtaposition of the anger the locals gave when King Filipe, Queen Letitiza and Prime Minister Sánches had when they arrived vs when the PM fled and you have The King and Queen hugging the bereaved locals just looking for support is astounding.
