"Coexistence" has been the central theme of King Felipe VI's traditional Christmas Eve message. Specifically, he emphasized the "fragility" with which it can break down: "Coexistence is not an imperishable legacy. It is not enough to have received it: it is a fragile structure." To prevent this from happening, society needs "trust," argued Felipe VI, who not only acknowledged its current shortcomings but also pointed the finger at those who exploit it. "In this turbulent world, where multilateralism and the world order are in crisis, societies are experiencing—we are experiencing—a disturbing crisis of trust. And this reality seriously affects the morale of citizens and the credibility of institutions [...] Extremism, radicalism, and populism thrive on this lack of trust, on misinformation, on the future," the King warned.
