King Felipe already has a highly relevant meeting scheduled that directly affects President Pedro Sánchez. The head of state and the president will meet face to face just before their vacations begin. This is an annual meeting that marks the end of one stage and the beginning of months of changes and solutions.
Right now, as Spanish society and politics face moments of extreme concern, King Felipe and President Sánchez will have a symbolic meeting. Afterward, it is expected that the next political term will resume without new controversies or setbacks.
The last meeting between King Felipe and President Pedro Sánchez already has a date
August is just around the corner, and with it, King Felipe's summer plans. Mallorca is preparing for the annual visit of its distinguished summer guests, which this year, once again, will include President Pedro Sánchez.
King Felipe has officially announced that he will meet with President Sánchez before the summer vacation. The chosen date is July 29, and the location is Marivent Palace. This is a traditional event on the summer political calendar and symbolizes the end of a political term marked by multiple challenges and debates.
Thus, President Sánchez will go to King Felipe's summer office, following the custom established in recent years. Even during the summer of the pandemic, the president of the government did not miss his meeting with Felipe at Marivent.
The Royal Household has officially confirmed this meeting, in which both will discuss the most relevant national issues. The meeting will take place a few days after the last session of the Council of Ministers, scheduled for the morning of July 22. The meeting will show the institutional bond between the head of the executive and the head of state, which is kept alive even as their activity is reduced.
This meeting marks the end of the political term and the beginning of a new stage in September. It is expected, therefore, that both will put forward the latest information and scandals that have shaken national stability.
King Felipe and President Pedro Sánchez will meet at Marivent
Marivent, the royal family's summer residence in Mallorca, transforms every summer into a setting where protocol and informality are combined. Although in recent years these meetings have taken place at other official venues, in 2025 it returns to Marivent, thus consolidating the tradition.
In recent decades, this meeting has served as a space to analyze the balance of the first half of the year, including political and economic developments. In this regard, the meeting usually serves to exchange assessments of the measures approved in Congress and the results obtained. It is also used to anticipate the priorities of the next legislative period for the coming six months.
The chosen date coincides with the final stretch of the political calendar and one week after the full session of Congress scheduled for July 22. In that session, Moncloa trusts it will have consolidated support to promote the latest initiatives of the legislative term. For this reason, this meeting not only highlights the institutional profile of the executive but also the desire to strengthen political stability before the vacation.
Especially at this time when scandals have put President Pedro Sánchez's governability at risk. The political context adds interest to the meeting, after months marked by judicial investigations, territorial tensions, and debates about the government's stability. The meeting will allow the president to present his achievements and emphasize the roadmap designed for the second half of the year.
Meanwhile, King Felipe will use this audience to learn firsthand about government plans and the assessment of the recently concluded term. As usual, no joint statements are expected, although the image of both will be interpreted as a sign of democratic continuity and dialogue.
