Felipe VI Opens Foro La Toja With Strong Defense of Multilateralism and the U.N.

The monarch's remarks set a consensus-focused tone for debates culminating in a scheduled Olmert–Sinijlawi dialogue on Gaza.

Overview

  • King Felipe VI inaugurated the seventh Foro La Toja in A Toxa, where he presented the Josep Piqué prize to constitutional architects Miguel Herrero y Rodríguez de Miñón and Miquel Roca i Junyent.
  • He praised the United Nations, urged the European Union to make itself heard in a shifting order, and cautioned that radicalism and division do not yield solutions.
  • The three‑day program centers on the economy, Europe’s political challenges, technology and geopolitics, with contributions from figures including Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Carlos Cuerpo, Juanma Moreno and Margaritis Schinas.
  • Saturday’s 11:30 session will examine prospects for Gaza peace under the plan advanced by U.S. President Donald Trump, with Ehud Olmert and Samer Sinijlawi, and Garry Kasparov is set to deliver the closing address.
  • Organizers confirmed livestreaming of all sessions, and Galicia’s president Alfonso Rueda voiced cautious hope about the Trump–Netanyahu agreement, calling the alternative “devastating.”
