He III National Congress of Civil Society has concluded with seven keys for the regeneration of Spain, based on more unity of the majority parties, more Spanish involvement in Europe and Latin America and more prominence of the European Union in the world. It was closed by the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, and the president of the National Association Civil Society Now (Partner, organizer of the event), Aldo Olcesereported the congress in a statement this Friday.
Throughout Thursday, some 70 prominent speakers from civil society have debated at various tables how Regenerate Spain (motto of the congress), from which the general conclusions presented by Olcese were obtained.
conclusions
The first conclusion is that the general election result “avoid the overweight of minorities” and promote a unity government between the majority parties.
The second approach calls for taking advantage of the Spanish presidency of the EU to increase social interest in Europe, with more pedagogy and creating digital instruments for citizen and corporate participation in the digital environment. He also sees a two-speed Europe close and without the right of veto, with Spain “in the hard core of control” and with two Spanish strengths: energy and sustainability as keys to a new industrialization and competitiveness of the country. He believes that Spain can be the protagonist at the critical moment of the energy independence of the EU and its supply autonomy: thus, it can gain weight in continental governance “thanks to its unique energy mix and the lowest energy costs in all of Europe”.
In addition, it is urgent to redesign a strategy of “approach, cohabitation and partnership with the new populist democracies of Latin America with much more resilience, intelligence and generosity”, taking into account that the Spanish role is neither strategic nor hegemonic, he affirms.
As for Europe, it sees a common and very strong defense essential in order to be an “interested referee and intermediary” between United States and China, being independent of both blocs and taking advantage of both. It also calls for a Next Generation EU plan “ambitious and very generous for Africa” in the face of illegal immigration, which he describes as runaway.
Speakers
He Mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeidahas demanded a powerful civil society that is a counterweight to the institutions and power and the motor of “a more robust country”.
Aldo Olcese (Partner) has asked to collaborate with companies in the defense of sustainability and humanism, in addition to the economy, and has predicted: “We are at the gates of a possible Spanish miracle in the energy sector: we are the country with the best, and cheapest, energy mix, which will allow the massive establishment of industries”.
The president of the CEOE, Antonio Garamendihas affirmed that companies and the self-employed are engines of economic activity “and promoters of social peace through their dialogue with the rest of civil society, from moderation and institutional loyalty”.
For the president of the Chamber of Spain, José Luis BonetSpain must believe in its own potential and companies have been “the main social shield” in the country over the years.
The Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Fabian Picardohas predicted a solution to their situation in Europe: “I am optimistic about a good solution for Gibraltar and Spain, within the EU, and we are getting closer.”
The president of the Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, Benigno Pendáshas said that Spain lacks a culture of pact, which is not only governing in coalition, but also a sensible and moderate policy: “Let us not associate the political center with lukewarmness, but with the meeting place between the two great forms of understand politics.
He former Minister of Defense Eduardo Serra has warned that the defense “has to be an end in itself, and obligatory”, and the ex-director of the CNI Felix Sanz Roldan has ensured that the new international order It has not yet been decided because it is constantly evolving, and that forces us to be alert and prepared at all times.
He former Minister of Justice Rafael Catalá has considered that the provincial electoral constituency “generates an element of distortion”, and the former leader of the PSE-EE PSOE Nicolás Redondo Terreros has missed an “institutional patriotism” in Spain, a country that needs an agreement between the two big parties more than othersaccording to him.
Finally, the editor and director of VozpopuliJesus Cachohas assured: “I have always been struck by the fear that prevailed to give an opinion, to criticize the power for the business elites. There is no civic value in speaking out in public. The existence of a business and financial elite committed to the democratic system to say and give an opinion on the big decisions is essential. The problem is perhaps the ability of the Spanish to admit the bad political decisions taken by governments for a long time”.
