From the Christmas Message from His Majesty the King at the Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain. 24/12/2025

"Let’s remember, this Christmas Eve, that in a democracy, our own ideas should never be dogmas, and the ideas of others should never be threats; that moving forward is something we do step by step, with agreements and forbearance, but always in the same direction, not getting ahead based on doing someone else down; and that Spain is, above all, a shared project: a way to gather – and realise – individual interests and aspirations around the same notion of the common good.

Every historical period has its own challenges. There are no easy paths. Ours are not any more or less challenging than those that faced our parents or grandparents. But we have one great asset: our ability to take those paths together.

Let’s do that with the memory of these 50 years, and let’s do it with confidence. Fear only creates barriers and noise, and barriers and noise prevent us from understanding reality in all its breadth."
