Thanking the front-line workers, King Felipe said, “today we return to this place because we need and must remember all those who are not with us. And to show, in the most solemn way, our deep respect, appreciation and admiration for the health personnel who, since the beginning of this crisis, worked tirelessly, with determination and total dedication, trying to contain a disease for which, at that time, there was no availability of treatments or vaccines“.
