Nearly 50 Catalan and other lawmakers who advocate their regions' independence from Spain boycotted the ceremonial opening of the nation's legislative season to protest the presence of the royal family

Spain's King Felipe VI poses with the speaker of the Spanish lower house of parliament Meritxell Batet, Queen Letizia, princesses Leonor and Sofia and speakers of the Spanish upper house of parliament Pilar Llop during the opening ceremony of the Spanish 14th legislature at the lower house of parliament, on February 03, 2020 in Madrid.

The representatives of five parties from the northern regions of Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia say the position of the king is “anachronistic" and should be rooted out of Spanish politics. His coalition with the far-left United We Can party will need votes from the separatist parties to pass the nation's 2020 spending plan and any other significant legislation. Sanchez's Socialists have been supportive of King Felipe VI and his father Juan Carlos I, the former monarch.

“The majority of the Catalan, Basque and Galician societies reject the figure of an anachronistic institution that is ... based on the goal of maintaining and imposing the unity of Spain and its laws,” read Gabriel Rufian.
