Felipe VI delivers this Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. his traditional Christmas speechduring which he will take stock of a complicated year both nationally and internationally and during which the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the monarchy and the beginnings of the transition to democracy are commemorated. In the message, broadcast on magnetic tape, the king reviews, as usual, the main issues of institutional, political, economic and social life.
This year 2025 marks the half-century of the start of the Transition, to the spirit of consensus of which the monarch appealed several times throughout the year; a necessary consensus to which he usually refers in his Christmas Eve messages in a context characterized by growing political tensions. In recent months, the head of state has also insisted on his call for multilateralism and European values in the face of the risks facing democracies.
