King Philip VI will travel to Gernika this Friday to participate in an act of remembrance for the victims of the 1937 Gernika bombing, which will beattended by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Although it is not on the official agenda of the Spanish Royal House, the tribute, as confirmed by Radio Euskadi, will have the highest institutional representation of the State. The President, Imanol Pradales, will receive Felipe VI in Gernika at an event that has aroused great expectation.
President Steinmeier's historic visit to pay tribute to the victims of the Condor Legion will be received by the Lehendakari in Ajuria Enea, and the presence of the King of Spain at the event will further strengthen the dimension of the tribute.
In Gernika, Philip VI and Pradales will receive Steinmeier together. Together with other survivors of the bombing and relatives of the victims, a floral offering will be held at the Gernika cemetery, which will be the emotional core of the event, the performance of the reparation gesture.
It is not yet known whether or not Steinmeier will apologize, or what he will say, and there are the same doubts about King Philip VI's speech.
