Spain marked the 46th anniversary of its Constitution amidst political tensions and calls for reform.

President Pedro Sánchez advocated for constitutional changes to safeguard rights, particularly against regional governments he described as "negationists.

" This proposal comes as the political climate remains strained, with no direct communication between Sánchez and opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo for over a year.

The anniversary event saw the participation of Catalonia's president, Salvador Illa, for the first time since 2009, highlighting a shift in regional dynamics.

Meanwhile, debates continue over the necessity and impact of constitutional reform, with some arguing that the current Constitution remains robust and adaptable.

The event underscored ongoing challenges in Spanish politics, including territorial disputes and the need for consensus.
