We are aware

of the difficulties,

but we also know that the future is not written,

that the spiral of violence that many already take for granted is

absolutely avoidable, and that humanity can still

leave behind this fundamentalism of the ayatollahs and also the misery of war.

Some will say that we are alone in this hope, but that is not true either.

The Government

of Spain stands with those it must stand with. It stands with the values

that our parents and

grandparents enshrined in our Constitution,

Spain stands with the founding principles of the European Union,

it stands with the Charter of the United Nations,

it stands with international law and therefore it stands

with peace and the peaceful existence between countries and their coexistence.

We also stand with many other governments that

think like us and also with millions of citizens,

men and women, all across Europe,

in North America and in the Middle East,

what they ask of tomorrow is not more war

or more uncertainty,

but more peace and more prosperity.

Because the first only benefits a few and the second

benefits us all.
