La visita de los Reyes a Melilla, en directo | Cientos de personas esperan para recibir a Felipe VI y Letizia en Melilla

Hundreds of citizens gathered in Melilla's main square this morning to watch King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia during their first visit to the autonomous city. A strong voice was heard among a group of women clad in Spanish flags, saying "De Ceuta y de Melilla, no nos moverán" (From Ceuta and Melilla, they will not move us). The King and Queen continue their official journey to autonomous cities, having visited Ceuta the day before, where they received a massive welcome and Felipe VI reaffirmed "Spanish sovereignty and territorial integrity".

The head of state's agenda begins with a visit to the Melilla Assembly, where he will have the opportunity to meet with President Juan José Imbroda, followed by a visit to a school. The King will conclude his visit with a meeting of representatives from Melilla society and is expected to deliver a speech. President Imbroda has called on citizens to come and greet the Kings, emphasizing that the visit "will mark a before and after" in Melilla.
