FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The Spanish branch of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) on Tuesday said it would
seek to remove King Juan Carlos as its honorary president, a position he has
held since 1968, in light of his recent hunting expedition to Botswana, one
of the few places that issue licenses to cull elephant herd numbers.
Pictures of the King posing in front of an elephant shot on a similar trip to
Botswana in 2006 were published across the world as an online petition
calling for the King to be removed as patron collected more than 80,000
signatures.
Juan Carlos del Olmo, the secretary general of WWF Espana, said the king’s
position as patron had become untenable. “It’s a problem of the image
it sends nationally and internationally rather than the issue of elephant
conservation in Botswana.”
The move is embarrassing not the least because Queen Sofia of Spain is the
first cousin once removed of The Duke of Edinburgh, who is the President
Emeritus of WWF International and has been closely involved with the
organisation since its foundation in 1961.
The Royal Palace has repeatedly declined to comment on the trip except to say
it was a “private visit” but newspaper reports on Wednesday
revealed he had been the guest of Mohamed Eyad Kayali, a Syrian-born Saudi
business man.
Mr Kayali, reportedly the right hand man of Prince Salman, Saudi’s defence
minister, was said to be a key figure in securing a lucrative contract for a
Spanish consortium to build a high-speed rail link between Mecca and Medina
worth 6.7 billion euros.
