King Felipe VI of Spain didn’t come to Seville to play games. At the fourth UN international conference on development financing, this king loudly and clearly called for strengthening the values of multilateralism. Yes, you read that right — multilateralism! In a time when the world seems to be falling apart, Felipe reminded us that international cooperation is the foundation of order and peace.
“Let a new plan emerge from here, concrete, tangible, and achievable!” the king declared, as if saying: enough empty talk, it’s time for action. He warned that the world is changing, new geopolitical maps are being drawn, but that must not mean forgetting rights, solidarity, and human dignity.
At a moment when many fears and uncertainties threaten to throw us into chaos, Felipe urges us to hold on to universal values and not lose sight of the sustainable development goals adopted back in 2015. With just five years left until the deadline, the king calls for a new boost and collective efforts.
Will the world listen? Will the Seville conference become a turning point or just another empty speech? One thing is clear — Felipe is not giving up the fight for a better world. What do you think? Is multilateralism salvation or just another political buzzword? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s on which side!
