King Felipe, Queen Letizia and Princess Leonor presided over the solemn opening of the Spanish Cortes Generales — the Congress of Deputies and the Senate — during a ceremony Wednesday.
His Majesty reminded lawmakers of their responsibility to always search for the common good for all Spaniards. He also praised the “political pluralism” represented.
This was the first opening of parliament featuring Princess Leonor, who recently took an oath to the Constitution as heir to the throne.
