“For the first time in history,” reports the newspaper, the Spanish royal family’s accounts will be made public following the coming into force of new transparency law. Currently under examination in in parliament, the law will make it possible to see how the funds attributed to King Juan Carlos I, the members of his family, and the royal household, the institution that manages the royal family's affairs, are sourced and utilised.
Until now, the royal household presented a summary of its expenses, but was not obliged to justify the manner in which funds were used.
