On the 20th anniversary of the European Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Terrorism, which was celebrated in March with a solemn event in Madrid, organized by the European Commission in collaboration with the Spanish Government.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia were present to honor the occasion, which took place in the Royal Collections Gallery.
This annual commemoration day, established in 2005, serves as a tribute to all victims of terrorism around the world, taking on special importance in Spain as we remember the tragic attacks of March 11, 2004 in Madrid.
That devastating attack claimed the lives of 193 people and injured 2,050 others. Each year, the European Union pauses to remember those who have suffered acts of terrorism, fostering a sense of solidarity and resilience among nations.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia listened attentively to the moving personal stories of some of the attendees, who paid tribute to those who lost their lives and showed their support for those who continue to suffer the impact of such events.
