YESA, Spain (AP) — YESA, Spain — In his first speech since he was tapped to become king, Spain’s Crown Prince Felipe on Wednesday spoke delicately about the need for unity in the Mediterranean country that has been hit by separatist fervor and crushing unemployment.

Sticking to protocol as the future symbolic leader of Spain’s constitutional monarchy, Felipe got his point across without mentioning by name Spain’s two biggest problems: The drive in the northeastern region of Catalonia for a secession referendum and the nation’s 25 percent jobless rate.
