FAES Director, Javier Zarzalejos, has participated in the conference '¿Pueden los valores europeos hacer frente al nacionalismo y al populismo?' (Can European values confront nationalism and populism?) organized in Barcelona by Red Floridablanca. In his opinion, "the original project of the Atlantic liberal order seems to call into question", and even if "Europe has been an excellent ambition, we cannot ignore the fact that today there are serious threats".
The International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala has been controversial since its inception. President Jimmy Morales has just set the end of his mission for next year, which has fueled the confrontation between critics and defenders. While both sides are partly right, the fight against impunity and corruption needs to build bridges outside the system.
John McCain marks the end of an era; the greatness of both America and the Republican Party has passed away. What made McCain's America great is far from the America that brought Trump to the White House. Society is divided. The Republicans' loss of power in the midterms of November could mean a new starting point and the beginning of the search for a candidate for 2020.
Sweden is going through turbulent times despite having a vigorous economy. Next Sunday's elections can confirm that, as in many other places, identity issues tend to take on the role that the economy once had in deciding the vote of a large part of the population.
FAES has recently brought together an eminent group of historians and intellectuals to discuss the PSOE's draft law on Historical Memory. Its details, the concept of the initiative and its repercussions and media and political purposes. Presented in the congress last March, the proposal was vetoed by the Partido Popular government, claiming that it would mean an increase in spending. However, it seems that the new socialist government could bring it back. We replicate, with an editing, the most significant parts of that conversation.
