Zaragoza.- The Delegation of the Government of Spain in Aragón has today celebrated the solemn act on the occasion of the 47th anniversary of the Spanish Constitution in which the delegate, Fernando Beltrán, has appealed to the spirit of 78 to safeguard the rights and freedoms that were sealed in the Constitution “and that today are more threatened than ever”.

Beltran has asserted that the Constitution provides an opportunity to convey to young people the importance of living in democracy. “I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the rights with which you were born must never be taken for granted because they are more fragile than you think,” he said. And he insisted: “The Spanish Government is here to protect democracy and rights. And he’s going to do it with the Constitution in his hand.” “We will be shields to prevent our democracy from being wiped out with rights cuts, with privatizations and reductions in public services, with the instrumentalization of judicial processes for political purposes, giving away our natural resources without control, denying realities such as climate change, with hoaxes and messages of hatred or persecuting the new Spaniards,” he added.

The government delegate recalled that, at a time of great political uncertainty, Spanish society decided to bet on democracy and freedom. “Spain decided to undertake a long and complex process of political, institutional, social and economic transformation that triumphed and that ended up turning us into the advanced, influential, open and tolerant country that today is Spain. That’s what we celebrate, that’s what we claim,” the delegate explained. This spectacular transformation has been the guiding thread that throughout this year 2025 the Government of Spain has claimed with the motto “Spain in freedom”. Through exhibitions, colloquiums, concerts and countless activities, “the Spain that we are has been celebrated without forgetting the Spain that we never want to be again”.

In the institutional act, representatives of the General Administration of the State, Security Bodies and Forces and Aragonese society have read articles related to security, equality or housing. Specifically, Jorge Juan Pastor, Secretary General of the Delegation of the Government of Spain in Aragón; has read article 154; Victoriano Blanco, Delegate of Defense, has read articles 8 and 30; articles 10 and 13 have been read by Kossi Simeón, journalist from Togo and technician of the office of assistance to victims of discrimination of CEDRE; Ana Berné, Deputy Secretary General of the Delegation of the Government of Spain in Aragón, has been in charge of reading article 47; María Pilar Alastrué, worker of the Government, has read articles 126.
