King Felipe this week signed the third amendment to Spain’s Constitution since its ratification in 1978.
His Majesty, joined by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and other top officials, signed the text at the Royal Palace of Zarzuela outside central Madrid. It updated wording and government responsibilities related to people with disabilities.

King Felipe’s father, King Juan Carlos, signed the 1978 text after a democratization process following the death of dictator Francisco Franco.
