Felipe VI stated before the European Parliament that Europe’s cohesion is its strength, stressing that «force without principles translates into barbarism» and that Europe «must not accept geopolitical approaches from past eras as if they are indicative of a new era.» This Wednesday, the King of Spain participated in the plenary session of the European Parliament to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Spain and Portugal’s accession to the European Union, which will be celebrated on 1 January 2026.
Felipe VI: the EU cannot accept, let alone endorse, geopolitical proposals from another era.
