Mr. Zapatero Goes to Washington
11 de Octubre de 2009
Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's second term in office has not been a happy affair for Spain. Soundly re-elected on a post-modern platform of Socialism, pacifism and feminism just 18 months ago, Zapatero has since stumbled badly in the face of an economic crisis that shows no signs of abating. With his poll numbers now at an all-time low, Zapatero is hoping that his October 13 visit to the White House will reverse his foundering political fortunes.
German Race Tightens As Election Day Nears
26 de Septiembre de 2009
While almost everyone expects Merkel to lead the next government, the big question is: Who will her coalition partner be? The answer to that question will determine how much power Merkel will actually have to lead Europe’s most important country at a time of economic and financial crisis and rising unemployment.
As Goes the West, So Goes NATO
09 de Julio de 2009
The abandonment of Western civilisation by its strongest defenders, combined with important shifts in the transatlantic balance of power, has contributed to a fundamental breakdown of the Euro-Atlantic security order. Europe and the United States are now incapable of agreeing upon even the most basic strategic priorities.
Spain’s Immigration System Runs Amok
24 de Septiembre de 2008
More than 920,000 new immigrants arrived in Spain during 2007, according to data just published by the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE). This comes on top of the 802,971 new arrivals in 2006, the 682,711 new arrivals in 2005, the 645,844 new arrivals in 2004, and so on. The politically sensitive figures were released during the middle of the summer holidays, presumably in an effort to avoid their detection by the vacationing general public.
¿Por qué los irlandeses votan no?
20 de Junio de 2008
Después de que los votantes en Francia y los Países Bajos rechazaran la Constitución Europea en 2005, las élites europeas aconsejaron repetir la votación hasta que llegaran a la respuesta correcta. Para ello, crearon el Tratado de Lisboa, que es una réplica casi exacta. Los irlandeses han dicho que no. Este artículo analiza el penoso estado de la democracia en la Europa contemporánea.
¿Es España un país influyente?
22 de Febrero de 2008
Hace poco el Primer Ministro español José Luís Rodríguez Zapatero se jactó de que un español ahora es más rico que un italiano. Refiriéndose a los nuevos datos económicos publicados por Eurostat, la agencia europea de estadísticas, Zapatero proclamó que: “España ha superado a Italia. Se lo pronostiqué a Romano hace un tiempo,” refiriéndose al entonces Primer Ministro italiano. Zapatero continuó su discurso diciendo que ahora España está a los talones de Francia y Alemania.
What US Presidential Candidates are Saying About Foreign Policy
05 de Noviembre de 2007
US President George W Bush has one more year in the White House. But already many Europeans are predicting that the next American president will conduct a kinder, gentler US foreign policy that appeals to their post-modern pacifist instincts. They are sure to be disappointed.
Spain Faces Difficulties in Judging Islamic Terrorists
23 de Octubre de 2007
A Spanish anti-terrorism court delivered an unexpectedly mixed verdict in the trial of 28 defendants charged in the 2004 Madrid train bombings. It convicted 21 people of involvement in the carnage, but acquitted seven others, including the man accused by prosecutors of having masterminded Europe’s second-deadliest terrorist attack after Lockerbie. Only three of those found guilty were convicted for mass murder.
Factor Miedo: Líbano y el estilo europeo del mantenimiento de la paz
27 de Septiembre de 2007
Líbano está hoy al borde del derrumbamiento político, un Hizbolá desafiante esta rearmado y hay constantes rumores de otra guerra con Israel. Mientras que el Líbano cae mas bajo dentro del caos, la propia UNIFIL se ha convertido en un blanco atractivo, de modo que ahora pasa la mayor parte de su tiempo intentando protegerse.
¿Quién es Alá?
04 de Septiembre de 2007
A los europeos les gusta mofarse de la sobresaliente manifestación de la religión en la sociedad americana. Pero no reirán por mucho tiempo.
