Forum users' opinions on the matter
Those supporting the planned escape theory: A segment of users argues that the move was not accidental and that the former president was seeking refuge outside Spain to avoid legal complications. This stance is fueled by skepticism regarding official explanations and suspicions that he possesses the international contacts and means to evade the Spanish justice system.

These users suggest that the former president feels safer under the current Spanish political framework, where they believe he has sufficient institutional support to protect himself from any legal proceedings.
