"And I don't want to raise here what the hypothesis of its total dismantling would mean for everyone. The king, who ascended the throne in 2014 after his father's abdication, began his address by announcing the release of five Spanish citizens detained in Venezuela and calling for a genuine, peaceful, inclusive, and sovereign transition, respectful of the free and independent will of the Venezuelan people, to begin as soon as possible, with guarantees."

Five Spanish citizens detained in Venezuela were released, and a genuine, peaceful, inclusive, sovereign democratic transition in Venezuela must begin as soon as possible with guarantees respectful of the Venezuelan people's free will.
