Madrid politics and Narvaez plan threaten royal exile
The piece argues Narvaez seeks to remove the Queen from Madrid to La Granja to shield her from observers, amid a murky scramble over Spain’s future. It casts doubt on motives, condemns conspiratorial moves, cites Phillippist plots, and warns how Family Alliances and regional demands fuel a volatile coup of power. It notes Christina in Paris, Munoz faction gains, and the fragility of the 1837 constitution amid martial law at Cadiz and Espartero’s exile.
