We hear the speech live: ‘Comrades. Having been invited by the Party's Central Committee to preside over this assembly, I come here, on a brief visit, to salute you. There is little time as I must leave to assume command of my post, from where I will continue to direct military operations which, I'm pleased to report, are progressing along the fronts around our capital and which, as always, our Popular Front, undertake with courage in their hearts, and a determination to free, at the earliest possible moment, this heroic city of Madrid, from the criminal nightmare of the bombings to which the people of Madrid are so frequently subjected. Bless you all! Long live the Republic!’
