Another protocol error: the Argentine flag was abandoned during an act with the King of Spain

The visit of the kings of Spain to Argentina was marked from the beginning by the protocol misadventures. The lack of proper stairs for the landing of Felipe VI and Letizia at Aeroparque, the friction of the Airbus 310 with the Tango 04 and finally the fall of two of the flags with which the king had been received while he was crossing the Palacio San Martin

Felipe VI went there to participate in a working meeting led by Mauricio Macri with Argentine and Spanish businessmen. Everything was ready for the king and the president to pose for a photo between two grenadiers, with four flags in the background.

However, just when Philip VI was about to enter the meeting room, a gust of wind two banners prepared for the occasion. Even one of them almost hit one of the grenadiers located on the sides of the red carpet waiting for the protagonists.

The Argentinean flag and the Mercosur flag had to be raised by ceremonial staff, while the European Union and the Spanish flag resisted the wind and remained upright.

Rubén Gavaldá and Castro, Protocol Specialist, badured TN: "We can not commit twice the same clumsiness. Once that can happen. At the beginning of his term, the president has already dropped a flag. Because something is paid to the ceremony officials, it can not happen again, it seems that we have not learned from our mistakes ".

"If you need the amuro (flag) on ​​the ground or I put a flag bearer to bear it. the patriotic symbol is not decorativeyesterday, they put six flags to represent two countries, totally excessive ", explained the specialist invited to TN Central.
