Spain celebrates 45th anniversary of democratic constitution amidst growing concerns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:00:05 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.
