Puente, "outraged" by the "offensive" photo of the King with journalist Javier Negre: A "red line" has been crossed

Spanish Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, expressed deep indignation regarding a photograph showing King Felipe VI alongside journalist Javier Negre. Puente stated that an offensive "red line" has been crossed, explicitly asserting that it is the Royal Household, rather than the government, that bears responsibility for the image.

The public rebuke highlights tensions surrounding the monarchy's interactions with media figures. Puente's remarks underscore the sensitivity of the Royal Household's public image and the political ramifications of the King's engagements with controversial journalists.
