  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Slow Senate Start Amid Pandemic a Lesson to Limit Delay Tactics, Says
    Fourni par InfoMédia http://www.infomedia.gc.ca/parl Provided by NewsDesk Publié | Published: 2020-11-04 Hill Times Reçu | Received: 2020-11-04 00:01 (HNE) Slow Senate start amid pandemic a lesson to limit delay tactics, says CSG leader 'Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it,' says Sen. Scott Tannas. Samantha Wright Allen With Senators finally nailing down hybrid sittings and striking committees after months of disagreement that led to limited work during the pandemic, one Senate leader says his colleagues have learned their lesson about capitulating to procedural delays and will likely have "little patience" for such tactics going forward. "Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it. A lot of people are tired of it," said Canadian Senators Group Leader Scott Tannas. One example of that inside baseball played out on Oct. 29, said the Alberta Senator, with the long path to setting up committees coming to an end. The agreement guarantees allocated committee seats stay with various groups rather than individual Senators, which some said leaves powers in leaders' hands and violates the rules granting rights to Senators. The Progressive Senate Group (PSG), the smallest of the four recognized groups, said the vote in the Chamber-held before hybrid sittings were instituted-was done at the expense of giving all Senators a voice, while the other three groups said a clear majority supported the move.

  • Bill S222 Letter
    May 7, 2021 The Honourable Senator Ratna Omidvar Senate of Canada/Le Sénat du Canada Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0A4 La traduction française suit Dear Senator Omidvar, I am writing to express strong support for Bill S-222, the Effective and Accountable Charities Act. Thank you for your leadership on this important initiative. The Bill provides a pragmatic, responsible, accountable and just solution to an issue that has been of concern to Canadian international development charities like Farm Radio International for many years. On March 18, 2019, I was invited to speak as a witness before a Special Senate Committee on the Charitable Sector that you co-chaired. In my address to the Committee, I noted that the direction and control provision of the Income Tax Act means that a charity like Farm Radio International can only work with a partner organization in another country – such as a community radio station or women’s group, or a national health organization – if it contracts it as an “intermediary” to implement its own activities under its direction and control. Charities cannot offer contributions to local organizations to enable them, for example, to advance their own compatible charitable activities. This is problematic for Canadian charities involved in international development. Our ultimate success depends on supporting local development partners as they work to become more effective and sustainable organizations in their own countries. If these organizations are simply contracted as “intermediary” service providers that work under Canadian direction and control, their critical leadership in effective development is diminished, undermining the long-term goal of self-reliance.

I do not know how to satisfy our critics.” The late former Senator Carl Goldenberg, Senate Debates of January 11, 1974 Many senators are working hard to close a credibility gap that was created by many difficult years and prove the Senate’s public value as an appointed upper chamber.
