16/10/2017. Íñigo Sagardoy. If there is an issue in which all European heads of state with future vision agree on is the need for making more flexible our labor market in order to provide Europe with chances to compete in a globalized and increasingly competitive world. Sooner or later, labor reforms have been on the agendas of Europeans heads of state, following the so called European flexisecurity approach, looking for the removal of obstacles on labor regulation so that enterprises improve their performance and employment grows. France, with all its peculiarities and difficulties, has not been the exception.

Head of the administrative law department at the Faculty of Law, Complutense University of Madrid, Germán Fernández Farreres, states that "what is at stake is more than the territorial integrity of the State, what is at stake is the preservation of the Constitutional Rule of Law, which took a huge effort to be built".

The events in Catalonia produce astonishment and it is imperative to confront not a simple challenge but a frontal attack against the law, democracy and the rights of our citizens. Before all this, there is a Spanish nation, also in Catalonia, which does not surrender, which will not surrender. The Government needs to act as the nation needs it to do it. Its parliamentary majority is enough to activate all the political power provided for defending the Constitution.

El secesionismo catalán juega al referéndum ilegal. Y lo hace con su retórica habitual: que si Cataluña es un sujeto político soberano que puede decidir su condición política, que si el Parlament es el representante de la soberanía del pueblo catalán, que si la nación catalana exige la legítima y democrática aspiración al Estado propio a través del ejercicio de un derecho democrático por excelencia como es el derecho de autodeterminación de los pueblos, que ni puede ni debe constreñirse.

For a long time, we attend to the secessionist challenge of a few who, by using grossly the name of Catalonia, want to break away with Spain and thus the Catalonian community itself, since it is not uniform and not even majority the pro-independence sentiment of the Catalans, who most of them feel at the same time Catalans and, as such, Spanish. These days a lot has been said about the application of article 155 of the Spanish Constitution and the advisability of applying it or not.

Los atentados de Barcelona y Cambrils son una atroz dosis de recuerdo de la amenaza a la que estamos expuestos como nación, como sociedad abierta y como parte del mundo occidental. El yihadismo, de Al-Qaeda al Daesh, han venido singularizando su amenaza a España que ocupa un lugar preferente en las pretensiones de restauración califal del islamismo. El mito de Al-Andalus, tantas veces secundado de manera tan torpe en nuestro país, opera como un poderoso impulso ideológico de la “yihad” destructiva a la que convocan los predicadores del islamismo terrorista. Unas veces con vinculación directa a los centros de decisión de los grupos yihadistas, otras, movidos por la inspiración y el adoctrinamiento en círculos islámicos y en la red, células organizadas o “lobos solitarios” exhiben su pulsión asesina por cualquier procedimiento a su alcance.
