serve medium dico verum
Latin for "serve the public, tell the truth." The motto was popularised by the Metropolitan Party, and it became the national motto during their administration. Many provinces and autonomous areas followed suit and have also adopted this motto in line with the nation. On 20 November 2024, it was proposed by the Prince that the motto's Latin translation is in fact incorrect and that it should be changed to: publico servite, verum dicite.
