External success is internal benefit

Naeem12

In an all too common combination of ignorance and bad faith, a good number of spokespersons from the political and media right these days try to contrast the success of our country's foreign policy, "far from the needs of the Spanish people", with the “real problems of citizens.” The Government and its President are reproached, consequently, for being more attentive to “the cloud”, to “the attractions of Eurodisney” and to “the papier-mâché montages” typical of international summits , than to the “real policy that affects the people”, and that it is brewed here and only here, in the domestic political scene , according to them. They even demand that the President “return to harsh reality” and therefore abandon the supposed “unreality” of meetings with foreign leaders. These are analyzes that are as malicious as they are pacific. Distinguishing today between foreign and domestic policy when talking about European or NATO summits is pure nonsense . Ignoring the decisive influence of international agreements on internal economic and social development is absolute blindness.

And trying to downplay the merit and significance of the latest successes of the Spanish Government in foreign policy is not only absurd, but petty . The cycle continues strongly The leadership of Pedro Sánchez in the last summits of the European Union and the congratulations received by our country from the largest democracies in the world, on account of the formidable organization of the NATO Assembly in Madrid, is equivalent to pure gold in terms of prestige Active Phone Number List and international influence. It has been the organization of the NATO summit that has redefined the alliance's strategy. It has been the leadership in the collegiate purchase of vaccines and the record pace of immunization in our country. It has been the impetus for the “ Marshall Plan ” proposed by our President and later translated into the European Recovery Plan and the million-dollar Next Generation funds . It has been to make Spain the first European country to meet the conditionality milestones and receive European aid. This has been the congratulations of the President of the Commission for the effective evacuation of the Afghan refugees. It has been the constant recognition of the professionalism of our international military missions.



It has been President Sánchez's initiative to face the unavoidable reform of the energy market in Europe. It has been the achievement of an “ Iberian exception ” so that electricity costs cheaper for Spaniards and Portuguese. It has been the constant international reference of our country for advances in democratic quality - such as equality laws -, in the achievement of new rights - such as euthanasia - and in social justice - such as labor reform -. 140 laws, despite everything The trust that Spain gains in Europe and the world translates into influence in international scenarios where regulatory frameworks , commercial exchanges, investments, aid are decided.n fact, thanks to the consideration and growing influence of President Sánchez among partners in the European Union, NATO and other international forums, today we have million-dollar funds to finance our social benefits , aid to companies and large transformations of digitalization and the fight against climate change.
