Spain celebrates 45th anniversary of democratic constitution amidst growing concerns

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:15:08 GMT

Challenges ahead as the political landscape shiftsToday marks the 45th anniversary of the ratification of the Spanish Constitution in 1978, a significant milestone on the country's path to democracy. Sanctioned by King Juan Carlos I, the Constitution signalled the dawn of a new era for Spain, just three years after the death of General Franco.Whereas previous constitutions had been imposed upon the people of Spain by individual rulers, the 1978 Constitution was the result of intensive and protracted negotiations between the country’s major political parties.
