On July 23, 2026, Queen Letizia of Spain received representatives of the BBVA Microfinance Foundation (FMBBVA), along with 16 scholarship students from Colombia, Peru, and the Dominican Republic, at the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid. Since 2007, the FMBBVA has promoted initiatives in entrepreneurship, education, and financial inclusion to support people in vulnerable situations. For the occasion, the Queen wore a maxi dress by Antik Batik.
Queen Letizia also met with the creative team and participants of The Grandchildren of Silence, an audiovisual project created by young journalists and communications professionals that features the testimonies of the grandchildren of victims of ETA terrorism.
They explained to the Queen the origins of the audiovisual project, which reflects on memory and the consequences that ETA's terrorist violence has had on these families. The audience was attended by Teresa Prieto Leache, Jesús Ulayar, and Beatriz Iruretagoyena Toca, participants in the documentary and descendants of ETA victims.
