Today, King Felipe and Queen Letizia presented the 2021 National Research Awards in Barcelona.

In his speech, King Felipe said: “In order to reach reasoned conclusions, one must start from the observation of all realities, of the facts, with an open mind and a critical spirit that also provokes doubt, contrast, and verification. Only in this way, by connecting with Science, fostering knowledge, and promoting a society with a broad and deep scientific base, can the harmful effects of disinformation be neutralized, as well as prejudices be banished".
Queen Letizia wore her Carolina Herrera dress with new Magrit accessories and her Karen Hallam ring.
