I am translating a newspaper article which talks about UK politics. Can anyone help me with an appropriate translation for 'con la solemnidad de quien'. Target audience would be a UK reader of the Guardian/Telegraph. There full sentence is as follows:
Con la solemnidad de quien, por primera vez en sus 30 años de diputado, se dirige a la cámara desde el banco reservado al Gobierno, David Davis arrancó su primer discurso parlamentario como ministro del Brexit con una verdad incontestable: “Brexit significa abandonar la Unión Europea”.

you could use other nouns instead of solemnity. Dignity, perhaps?
