Felipe VI underlines at the gala dinner in the Netherlands the importance of belonging to the EU and NATO in the face of the Russian threat. "The world needs a strong and united Europe," said the Spanish monarch in a clear reference to the role that the Union now plays in the world.

In fact, the star topic on Felipe de Borbón's agenda is the strategic autonomy of Europe, for which he visited the port of Amsterdam today. Green hydrogen is expected to begin arriving in 2030 from the port of Bilbao through the second maritime corridor in Europe - the first will connect Algeciras with Rotterdam in 2026 - of this type promoted by Brussels precisely to break its dependence on Moscow. The monarch also wanted to have a few words to vindicate the work of the head of state in a parliamentary monarchy like the Dutch and Spanish. "The task of monarchs in our modern and democratic societies is something that we also share, as we do with our objectives and efforts," he said. The Cruyff Foundation has more than 300 of these sports fields in the world. Some are designed for the special needs of users, and Jordi and Susila Cruyf, the footballer's children, have received the two heads of state. "We have seen that sport not only unites children but also countries," said Jordi. Guus Hiddink, former footballer, former coach of Real Madrid, South Korea, among others, and one of the ambassadors of the foundation, has added that these initiatives are very important to instill values and to promote social integration. The foundation was set up in 1997 and is based in the hometown of the Dutch football legend, Johan Cruyff. It is perhaps the most emblematic location of the social work undertaken by the player, son of a humble origins. The football legend was born next door to Jordi's mother, Susila, and his father was born in the Netherlands and Spain, and he played for Real Madrid and Barcelona.
