During his speech, Moreno urged society to adopt an attitude of "more humanity, more generosity, and more hope," qualities that, according to him, define the Roma people. The goal is to counteract the "intransigence, permanent anger, and social confrontation" prevalent today.

The event, organized by the Seville City Council, was attended by prominent flamenco figures such as Aurora Vargas, Raimundo Amador, Antonio Canales, and Inma de la Vega, among others. The Andalusian president emphasized the importance of education as a fundamental pillar for breaking down barriers, stating that "a book can tear down many more walls than any hammer."

Moreno stressed the deep connection between Andalucía and the Roma people, even wondering if he himself might have Roma roots, joking about the "powerful matriarchy" in his home and describing his mother as "pure, dark-haired, and powerful." He wished that the "brotherhood" with the Roma people be celebrated not only on the day of commemoration but "every day," considering it one of the "most beautiful and sincere expressions" of the region.

The president recalled that over a million Roma people reside in Spain, with 400,000 of them in Andalucía, the only community whose traditional dress is known as "traje de gitana." For Moreno, the Roma represent a "very high" percentage of Andalusian culture, values, and essence, being, along with Romans and Arabs, one of the three peoples who have "defined what Andalucía is and always will be."

Finally, Moreno highlighted the need to continue improving relations with the Roma people, recalling that Andalusians have suffered from "prejudices, clichés, and stereotypes" for too long. He stressed that education, housing, and employment are "exacerbated" needs and fundamental for the social inclusion of the Roma population.
