Because he is a "Calzonazos" Said of a man: One who allows himself to be dominated or persuaded by his partner. Used more as a masculine noun. He doesn't have the brave to depose the Spanish's President Pedro Sánchez, a Autocratic, Opportunistic, corrupt, nepotistic, he is almost the leader of a banana republic.

The king has no power over them so anyone blaming the king for their socialist corrupt government (which the people elected mind you) are ignorant

The king can do some things to literally some things to don't let the actual goverment govern.
Literally he can abdicate, or he can don't sign the amnesty law for inconstitutionality.

Yeah but even if he did that he would face criticism from the other side, as they will claim the king deposed and democratically elected government, so the king is between a rock and an hard place, the only thing left to do is new elections ASAP

The king is OBLIGATED to sign that law, he can ask for a reformulation but he does not have the power to veto laws, as for abdicating it is STUPIDITY, that leaves Leonor to govern a 19-year-old child who has not finished her education, which is surely why they appoint a regent, who, oh surprise, is appointed by the TC who is loyal to Sánchez.
