We have a great country, we are a great nation - let us trust in it.

Today, more than ever, citizens demand with good reason that moral and ethical principles be upheld and that exemplariness preside over our public life. And the king, as the head of state, must not only be an example but also a servant to that just and legitimate demand of the citizens.

Millions of Spaniards have Catalonia in their hearts.

In a unified and diverse Spain, based on the equality of and solidarity between its people, there is room for all of us. And for all of our feelings and sensitivities and our distinct ways of being Spaniards.

I want to reaffirm, as king, my faith in the unity of Spain.
