00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:06,610
In 1978, the Spanish people as a whole worked together to build the framework for our social harmony,

2
00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:08,570
the Spanish Constitution.

3
00:00:09,369 --> 00:00:13,769
Through our efforts, Spain was transformed into a social and democratic state,

4
00:00:14,029 --> 00:00:18,050
and we achieved this transformation on the basis of dialogue and agreement,

5
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:20,710
on consensus, among all Spaniards.

6
00:00:21,570 --> 00:00:24,230
Support for the Constitution was overwhelming.

7
00:00:24,730 --> 00:00:28,550
It was endorsed by 91.81% of Spanish citizens.

8
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:34,729
The Constitution established Spain as a robust state under the rule of law.

9
00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:42,929
A united and indivisible nation, in which legal certainty was indisputable and people's rights and freedoms were a reality.

10
00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:45,810
Spain was established as a parliamentary monarchy.

11
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:51,009
A nation with 17 autonomous communities and two autonomous cities.

12
00:00:51,929 --> 00:00:56,890
The Constitution recognizes the right of autonomy of nationalities and regions.

13
00:00:56,890 --> 00:01:02,109
And thanks to this, Spain has transformed itself into a highly decentralized country,

14
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:10,189
whose autonomous communities manage their own education, health, culture and social assistance, among many other areas.

15
00:01:10,650 --> 00:01:16,870
The Constitution also recognizes Spanish diversity, designating Spanish as the official language throughout Spain

16
00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:20,849
and the other languages of Spain as official languages in specific territories.

17
00:01:21,629 --> 00:01:25,069
The Spanish people, secure in this framework for social harmony,

18
00:01:25,310 --> 00:01:27,349
made Spain the nation we know today.

19
00:01:27,349 --> 00:01:30,689
A developed, modern, and safe country,

20
00:01:30,989 --> 00:01:35,670
which competes with the world's largest economies due to our effort and our talent.

21
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,260
The Spanish people agree unanimously on certain principles.

22
00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:48,299
Solidarity, equality, political pluralism, freedom, and justice.

23
00:01:49,299 --> 00:01:54,560
On 6th of December, Spain celebrates the day of the Spanish Constitution.

24
00:01:55,420 --> 00:02:03,000
The Constitution is the agreement of all the Spanish people to be what we are, a modern and open democracy.
