King Felipe and Queen Letizia attended a meeting of the scientific committee of the Elcano Royal Institute, which was about the analysis of the international impact of the coronavirus pandemic, at the headquarters of the Elcano Royal Institute in Madrid, Spain. During the meeting, international experts analyzed the situation caused by the pandemic in different continents.
The King and Queen were accompanied by the Minister of Science and Innovation, Pedro Duque. During the meeting, the president and director of the institute, Emilio Lamo de Espinosa and Charles Powell, made a presentation on the impact of the pandemic, globally and in Spain.
The Queen looks very beautiful, as usual, even with a mask covering most of her face. And, the topic of discussion is very important. Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the King and Queen have had many video conferences and, lately, several in-person conferences. In none of them have I noticed a female, other than the Queen, in a position of authority. I find that interesting.
ReplyDeleteHello, I just want to point out that Spain’s govern’t has always had women in key roles. But, President Pedro Sánchez (his title is that of president, not Prime Minister), has made history because out of 16 cabinet positions, 10 are women & the vice president is also a woman, Carmen Calvo. (Outside Spain they call her Deputy Prime Minister.) Also, in one of the Zoom meetings I can see 2 women. Respectfully, Ana (Also, want to mention my youngest son’s name is Sean Magnus. Great name!)

There commitment to keeping abreast of world happenings is very refreshing. The King and Queen have been a visual presence from the onset, video and in person. They are inspirational. Well done to both of them. I love what the Queen is wearing very business like, but feminine at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSMagnusR94, thank you for your response. I am happy to be informed about Spain's commitment to gender equality.
DeleteMay a recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic be advanced in Spain sooner.
ReplyDeleteThat’s how you set an example. Well done! Like it or not, wearing masks saves lives. They show why personal opinions on this topic are irrelevant. Civic spirit is what matters. Well done, congratulations!!! CH
ReplyDeleteIn Spain masks are mandatory for everybody, so no personal opinions are allowed.
DeleteThe Queen and the King are role models in this pandemic. 👏👏👏
