  • Inside Spain 81 (20 July- 26 September 2011)
    Inside Spain 81 (20 July- 26 September 2011) William Chislett Foreign Policy Popular Party Begins to Spell Out its Foreign Policy A future government of the Popular Party (PP) would not seek to change the EU’s common position on Cuba if, as expected, it wins the early general election on 20 November, as the present Socialist government unsuccessfully tried to do, and might revise the calendar for withdrawing Spain’s peacekeeping troops from Afghanistan, due to begin during the first half of 2014. These are some of the elements of PP’s foreign policy, as spelled out by Jorge Moragas, the party’s foreign policy coordinator and head of the office of Mariano Rajoy, the PP’s leader, in an interview with El País. The EU’s stance on Cuba was largely engineered by the PP’s José María Aznar, the former Prime Minister, and dates back to 1996. It demands that Cuba makes progress on democracy and human rights before any full normalisation of ties. Moragas, who was expelled from Cuba on his arrival in October 2004 after he had announced he would show his support for Cuban dissidents, said the economic reforms made were ‘timid’ and nothing had been done on the political front. The Socialist government played a leading role in the release of prisoners earlier this year when it airlifted 37 prisoners and 209 members of their families to Madrid, concluding the agreement reached in the summer of 2010 with Havana and the Roman Catholic Church there. The total number freed and flown to Spain was 115 prisoners and 647 family members.

    Debriefing on the April 2018 Women, Peace and Security Focal Points Network Meeting in Berlin, and follow-up actions in New York Thursday, 24 May 2018, 11:15am – 12:30pm, UNHQ CR6 Chair’s Summary On May 24, 2018, New York representatives of the Women, Peace and Security Focal Points Network (WPS- FPN) met in New York for the debriefing of the annual capital-level meeting of the Network, which took place in Berlin, Germany on April 9-10, 2018 under the theme, “Building Alliances to Advance the Women, Peace and Security Agenda.” About 60 Permanent Missions to the United Nations (UN) were represented at the debriefing, along with UN agencies and civil society organizations. The WPS Focal Points Network currently has a membership of more than 801 UN member states and regional organizations. The leadership troika of the Network comprises Germany as current Chair of the Network, Spain as 2017 Chair and Namibia as 2019 Chair. UN Women serves as Permanent Secretariat of the Network. The debriefing, which was held at the United Nations Headquarters, was hosted by the Permanent Representatives of Germany, Spain and Namibia to the UN, in collaboration with UN Women, at the level of Permanent and Deputy Permanent Representatives of Missions to the United Nations. The meeting objectives were to: (1) provide an overview of the activities of the WPS Focal Points Network to date; (2) share highlights and recommendations from the Berlin meeting including the joint communique; and (3) discuss how to translate the recommendations and outcomes from the Berlin meeting into concrete actions in the UN Security Council and other processes in New York and in capitals.

  • 2017 Spain Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators
    Spain Report Ignacio Molina, Oriol Homs, César Colino (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2017 G etty Im ages/iStockphoto/ZC Liu Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2017 | 2 Spain Report Executive Summary After several years of recession, social unrest has eroded legitimacy and public trust in Spain’s political system. The shift from a traditional two-party into a multiparty system is a notable result of these developments. In addition to the traditional parties such as the Popular Party (PP) and the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE), this multiparty system now includes the leftist anti- establishment party Podemos and the liberal progressive Ciudadanos (C’s). An inconclusive election in late 2015 led to another inconclusive election only six months later, resulting in a state of impasse under a caretaker government that had neither the willingness nor the legitimacy to pursue reforms. Nevertheless, policy outcomes in most economic domains continued to bear the fruits of economic reforms previously implemented. At the same time, however, centrifugal tensions in Catalonia remained strong. Spain’s economic recovery continued through 2016, showing 3.2% growth, the same figure as the previous year. This figure was much higher than other large euro zone economies (e.g., Germany reached 1.8% and Italy 0.9% in 2016) and the euro zone as a whole (1.8%). Spain was hit hard by a deep double-dip recession (2008 – 2013), but adjusted more quickly than expected after implementing a radical austerity program and some structural reforms (e.g., labor-market reforms, monitoring public finances, banking-sector recapitalization). Exports, foreign investment and domestic demand fueled this growth, along with a productivity increase following a painful process of internal devaluation.

Teemu Sinkkonen Researcher FIIA Briefing Paper 94 The Finnish Institute of International Affairs November 2011 • The electoral defeat suffered by the ruling Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Obrero Español, PSOE) in the municipal elections and the prolonged financial crisis has forced Prime Minister Zapatero to call an early general election on 20 November. • The Conservative People’s Party (Partido Popular, PP) is ahead in the polls by a clear margin and is likely to gain an absolute majority in the parliament. • The economic outlook for Spain looks bleak, which means that the new government will have to create new jobs quickly and push through harsh and unpopular reforms, particularly regarding the fiscal and administrative structures. • The Indignados protest movement is gaining support, and looks set to challenge the legitimacy of the system and force the future government to produce speedy results. • Spain is expected to enhance its role in international politics through pragmatic bilateral relations. In particular, relations with the US seem to be warming up, while Spain can turn to the UK and Poland in the EU for companionship.

  • The European Union Perception of Cuba: from Frustration to Irritation* Joaquín Roy
    RFC-03-2 The European Union Perception of Cuba: From Frustration to Irritation* Joaquín Roy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fidel Castro dramatically selected the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of his failed attack against the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba on July 26, 1953, for his rejection of any kind of humanitarian assistance, economic cooperation, and political dialogue with the European Union (EU) and its member states, signalling one of the lowest points in European- Cuban relations.1 Just days before the anniversary of what later history would recognize as the prelude of the Cuban Revolution, the European Union’s Foreign Relations Council issued a harsh criticism of the regime’s latest policies and personal insults against some European leaders (notably, Spain’s José María Aznar), in essence freezing all prospects of closer relations. The overall context was, of course, the global uncertainty of the U.S. occupation of Iraq in the aftermath of the post-September 11 tension. Having survived the end of the Cold War and the perennial U.S. harassment, the Castro regime seemed to have lost its most precious alternative source of international cooperation, if not economic support. RESUMEN Fidel Castro escogió de manera espectacular la fecha de conmemoración del Aniversario 50 del fallido ataque al cuartel Moncada en Santigo de Cuba, el 26 de julio de 1953, para anunciar su rechazo a cualquier tipo de ayuda humanitaria, cooperación económica y diálogo político con la Unión Europea (UE) y sus estados miembros, lo cual marca uno de los niveles más bajos de las relaciones entre Cuba y la UE.

  • Joaquín Roy and María Lorca-Susino Spain in the European Union
    “Spain is the problem. Europe is the solution”. In this fashion Ortega y Gasset (1986-2011) Years Twenty-Five the First Union: Spain in the European once dramatized the need to “Europeanize” Spain. The results over the first twenty five years of EU membership have been truly impressive. When Spain became a member of the EC, some of the best and brightest of Spain’s govern- mental cadres and universities joined the expanded European institutions, taking on positions of responsibility. The most prominent chaired the European Court of Justice (Gil-Carlos Rodríguez Iglesias) and the Parliament (Enrique Barón, José- María Gil Robles, and Josep Borrell), holding key positions in the Commission, and filling the newly created position of High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (Javier Solana). Spain, in sum, “was not different”, contrary to what old-fashion tourist publicity for the country used to say. It was a European country like any other that was returning to its natural home after a long exile. Spain, in turn, received considerable benefits from EU membership through funds for regional investment policies, agriculture and rural develop- ment, and the modernisation of national infrastructure. From an index of 60 percent of the European average in 1986, today Spain’s income per head is in the range of 105 percent, with some regions surpassing 125 percent. From being a country that was a net receiver from the EU budget, Spain today is a net contributor. Reflecting this development, the present volume examines different di- mensions of the deepening relationship between Spain and the rest of Europe through membership of the EU (its history, and its impact on policy development on economic growth and on relations with third countries).

  • Evo Morales and Hugo Chávez Visit Spain (ARI)
    Area: Latin America ARI 146/2009 (Translated from Spanish) Date: 5/11/2009 Evo Morales and Hugo Chávez visit Spain (ARI) Carlos Malamud * Theme: The visits to Spain of Presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia and Hugo Chávez of Venezuela have triggered a major domestic controversy as well as intense external debate, as Spain’s government is accused of seeking to move closer to certain populist leaders. Summary: Visits to Spain by Evo Morales and Hugo Chávez caused a stir in the media, amid accusations that Prime Minister José Luís Rodríguez Zapatero’s policy was encouraging a greater alignment with the governments of Bolivia and Venezuela, or even with the countries of the ALBA grouping (Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela) than with other Latin American Presidents. This ARI aims to take a closer look at the visits paid by the two leaders and the goals they sought, as well as the objectives of the Spanish government. These issues are linked to the countries’ respective bilateral agendas, as well as with the contextual framework in which Spain conducts its policy towards Latin America, while it is important to bear in mind the forthcoming Iberoamerican Summit –due to be held on 30 November-1 December in Estoril, Portugal– and the EU- Latin American-Caribbean summit in May 2010 in Madrid, under Spain’e EU Presidency. Analysis: On 24 September the Russian Ambassador in Madrid, Alexander Kuznetsov, made some surprising remarks that were scarcely compatible with his diplomatic rank. First, he said he would not comment on ‘novels or poems’ regarding an agent from Spain’s National Intelligence Centre (Centro Nacional de Inteligencia, CNI) who is accused of providing sensitive information to Russia, and also complained about what he called the myth-making in the Spanish media with regards to the Russian Mafia.
