To give an “example of clarity” King Felipe revealed how much is his fortune. With only 8 years left on the throne, the Spanish monarch made public all his wealth.
Through a press release, the head of state clarified that he considered it “convenient and opportune” to speak publicly about his patrimony in order to be an example of “transparency, rectitude and integrity in his behavior”.
“His personal decision to make public his heritage guided by the spirit of service and civic commitment that he has been committed to since the first day of his reign,” reads part of the text.
