Spanish King Felipe takes this opportunity to send a message to all opponents of Europe.

Spanish King Felipe VI has rejected calls for the European Union to be dismantled. “We must stand up to them: dangerous and misguided voices that argue that Europeans are freer, more independent, and more sovereign when they live in separate national political communities and tackle global challenges alone.” Nothing could be further from the truth, said the monarch in his speech at the award ceremony for the Charlemagne Prize in Aachen to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

What a surprise and an original idea! Great to see the King explaining this paiting, of the daughter of Felipe IV. One of the most emblematic paintings of the museum and of Spain indeed.

A very powerful speech by the King. Of course I held my breath when he mentioned "message from Washington " but he handled the subject matter with tact and diplomacy. The King has a clear admiration and fondness for Mrs. von der Leyen. I suppose she will receive a Spanish order on her next official visit to Spain.
