    Comunidad de Madrid Investors Presentation Normative protection of Debt payment The Community of Madrid´s debt is included in the scope of State debt . Article 135 of the Constitution states ... ". Loans to meet payment on the interest and capital of the State’s Public Debt shall always be deemed to be included in budget expenditure and may not be subject to amendment or modification as long as they conform to the terms of issue.". In terms of Organic Law Article 14.5 of the Law on Financing of the Autonomous Communities states: "The public debt of the autonomous communities and the securities of an equivalent nature issued by them shall be subject, to the same rules and shall enjoy the same benefits and conditions as the Public Debt of the State" . Article 14 of the Organic Law 2/2012 of 27 April on Budgetary Stability and Financial Sustainability provides: "The payment of interest and principal on the debt of public administrations shall have absolute priority over any other expenses” In practice, the Spanish Government has provided financial support to regions that have experienced budgetary difficulties or access to the financial market Since 2012 the Treasury has implemented mechanisms such as the FLA (Autonomous Liquidity Fund) and FFPP (Payment Provider Fund) to provide liquidity to the regional governments and local authorities to enable them to cope with their payment obligations (Royal Decree-Law 17/2014).Ultimately, the Government of Spain is the ultimate guarantor of debt amortization. 2 The community of Madrid: Total Debt

International Journal of LANGUAGE & LAW Ali & Ready, JLL 10 (2021): 24–47 www.languageandlaw.eu Integration or Assimilation? — A Comparative Intertextual Analysis of Language Policy in Madrid and Catalonia Farah Ali and Carol Ready* Abstract Language policy forms an integral part of constructing, upholding, and contesting the status and social space of languages. Such policies may perpetuate social inequalities between speakers of different languages in multilingual societies (Tollefson, 1991; Van Dijk, 1993; Es- cobar Alméciga, 2013; Ready, 2018). Policies that typically address society as a whole may also reference language use of migrant populations. The current study analyzes integration poli- cies in Spain at the federal and regional levels in the autonomous communities of Madrid and Catalonia, and examines how these policies shape and characterize the role of language prac- tices as they relate to immigrants’ participation in Spanish society.

Delegate for Economy, Employment and Citizen Involvement This sixth edition of “Madrid Economy” appears just when the economic reco- very, both of Madrid and the rest of Spain, seems to begin. This recovery is con- ditioned by an unstable financial framework. However, we believe that the trend change already initiated by the main indicators and the budgetary contention measures which have been implemented should ensure that a solid base is laid for long term growth in our city, the economic centre of Spain. The efficient allocation of public resources will be essential in the next few years, as the administration will have to continue managing services, maintaining standards with fewer resources, especially those which stem from indebtedness. Increased productivity, linked to improvements in training and innovation will be the key to a future for our city wich we would like it to become even more promising. This will require to implement certain regulatory reforms and con- solidate a more solid and stable financial framework than the present one. The main elements which constitute the economy of the city of Madrid will be detailed in the following pages, reflecting a reality not exempt from problems, but with a future even brighter than its past.

Polideportivo Municipal The Royal Site of Aranjuez, located in the southern part of the Community of Madrid, is graced with works of art and monuments that make it one of the most important cultural attractions in Spain. Aranjuez was designated a Royal Site by the Catholic Monarchs who often came to this town to relax. It was the kings from the House of Austria however, who began construction of the palaces and gardens. During the time of Philip II, the Royal Quarters were built but were destroyed by fire in 1665. The first Botanical Garden was inaugurated during this same period. The Bourbon dynasty also showed an interest in the Royal Site. Philip V as a way of showing his appreciation to the people of Aranjuez for their support in the War of Succession, made this town into a royal center and constructed some of the most artistic parks, monuments, gardens and churches. Aranjuez reached its pinnacle as a vacation site for the Court under the reings of Charles III and Charles IV. It was during the second half of the 18th Century therefore, that the Royal Palace was enlarged, the "Jardín del Príncipe" (Prince's Garden) was completed and the "Casita del Labrador" (Farmer's Cottage) was built.

    Fernández López et al. Malar J (2015) 14:356 DOI 10.1186/s12936-015-0891-0 RESEARCH Open Access Imported malaria including HIV and pregnant woman risk groups: overview of the case of a Spanish city 2004–2014 María Fernández López1,2*†, Jose Manuel Ruiz Giardín1†, Juan Víctor San Martín López1, Jerónimo Jaquetti3, Isabel García Arata3, Carolina Jiménez Navarro4 and Noemi Cabello Clotet5 Abstract Background: Arrival of inmigrants from malaria endemic areas has led to a emergence of cases of this parasitic dis- ease in Spain. The objective of this study was to analyse the high incidence rate of imported malaria in Fuenlabrada, a city in the south of Madrid, together with the frequent the lack of chemoprophylaxis, for the period between 2004 and 2014. Both pregnant women and HIV risk groups have been considered. Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of laboratory-confirmed malaria at the Fuenlabrada University Hospital, in Madrid, during a 10-year period (2004–2014). These data were obtained reviewing medical histories of the cases. Rel- evant epidemiological, clinical and laboratory results were analysed, with focus on the following risk groups: pregnant women and individuals with HIV. Results: A total of 185 cases were diagnosed (90.3 % Plasmodium falciparum). The annual incidence rate was 11.9/100,000 inhabitants/year. The average age was 30.8 years (SD: 14.3). Infections originating in sub-Saharan Africa comprised the 97.6 % of the cases. A total of 85.9 % were Visiting Friends and Relatives. Only a 4.3 % completed adequate prophylaxis. A total of 14.28 % of the fertile women were pregnant, and 8 cases (4.3 %) had HIV.

  • My Study Abroad Experience in Spain
    Ambar Cordero My Study Abroad Experience in Spain Last spring, I got the opportunity to study abroad in Alcala de Henares, within the community of Madrid in Spain where I stayed with a host family. I attended Instituto Franklin, the international study branch of the Universidad de Alcala. I took courses on literature, culture, and translation and interpretation studies. Instituto Franklin also gave tours around the city and showed us how to take the train to Madrid. We visited two museums in Madrid, Reina Sofia and el Museo del Prado. We also took a trip to Toledo, a World Heritage site, and Segovia to see monumental aqueducts. We took weekend trips to the region of Andalucía and to Cuenca. In Andalucía we visited three cities, Sevilla, Granada and Cordoba. We received guided tours by dedicated professionals with a passion for Spanish history. We visited important landmarks, cathedrals, and even a palace. I had a great time getting to know the country and its vibrant culture. Students wanting to study abroad should talk to their advisors early to plan out the courses they want to take and make sure they will transfer over. Get a student transportation card as soon as you arrive, for only 20 euros a month you can ride the bus and the train unlimited all over Madrid. Sign up for conversation exchanges as it is a great way to meet people to practice your Spanish on and help them with English. One thing I especially loved in Alcala was volunteering at La Casa de Acogida, their homeless shelter and soup kitchen.
