The head of state has assured that it is a situation of "extreme gravity" to which the "legitimate powers of the State" must respond. 

"We are living very serious moments for our democratic life and, in these circumstances, I want to address the Spaniards.

We have all seen the movements of the Generalitat to illegally proclaim independence, "King Felipe VI began his message to the Spaniards.

The head of state has said that the Catalan government has systematically "violated" the rules, "proving an inadmissible disloyalty to the powers of the state, which it represents in Catalonia."

"They have undermined harmony and coexistence in Catalan society," he said.

"These authorities have been placed outside the law and democracy, have tried to break the unity of Spain and national sovereignty.

For all of this and given the situation of extreme gravity, which requires the commitment of all, it is the responsibility of the legitimate powers of the State to ensure constitutional order, "he added.

In addition, Felipe VI has directed "to the set of the Spaniards" to transmit "a message of tranquility and of hope".

"They are difficult times but we will overcome them and we will go ahead", said the king, who has also had concrete words for Catalan citizens:

"They are not alone nor they will be, they have all the support of the rest of the Spaniards".

This is the first message of Philip VI to the nation outside the traditional Christmas speech. In addition, there is no record of a similar message from the Crown since the 23-F coup.
