/02.07.15/.- Jordi Canal has stated that ‘we must stay firm in the defence of representative democracy, legality and the rights of individuals’ against the attack of Catalan nationalism. ‘Peoples do not exist and do not have rights’, Canal said during his lecture at the 2015 Campus FAES, where he stated that ‘in Catalonia we have forgotten to do politics.’ For her part, Maria San Gil said ‘The PNV is upset that ETA ever existed’ and wants to rule as if it had not: ‘They want to change history, to rewrite history in the sense that interests them, wipe out 50 years of terror'.

El profesor de la Escuela de Estudios Superiores en Ciencias Sociales de París, Jordi Canal, ha afirmado hoy que “hay que mantenerse firmes en la defensa de la democracia representativa, la legalidad y los derechos de los individuos” frente al envite del nacionalismo catalán. “En el terreno catalán nos hemos olvidado de hacer política”, ha asegurado durante su conferencia en Campus FAES. María San Gil, patrona de la Fundación Villacisneros, ha denunciado por su parte que el nacionalismo vasco y navarro "quiere cambiar la historia, reescribirla en el sentido que les interesa, borrar de un plumazo 50 años de terror”. 

/01.07.15/.- Manuel Pizarro took part today in the opening session of the Constitutional course of the 2015 FAES Campus. In his address he said that ‘the Constitution is in the frontispiece of the Rule of Law, it is the sheltering sky of coexistence’. ‘You cannot make a clean sweep of a Constitution that was so very hard to make’, he said.

/01.07.15/.- José María Aznar has held a meeting this morning with Lilian Tintori, the wife of the Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López, imprisoned by the regime of Nicolás Maduro. In the meeting, both agreed that political prisoners had to be released to ensure the legitimacy of parliamentary elections next December 6, and also that the EU has to get involved on the ground in the observation of Venezuela's democratic electoral process.

Europe is in the throes of two simultaneous crises: on the one hand, it is suffering from a political crisis, a crisis of leadership, one that has led to constitutional failure; on the other, it is suffering from a loss of identity, a phenomenon that results in cultural relativism. Marcello Pera, Speaker of the Italian Senate and Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Pisa, delivered a conference entitled “Strength of Identity” during the course of the FAES Campus 2005, a paper which the FAES Foundation is now publishing. Also known as the co-author of the book Senza Radici (“Without Roots”) alongside Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), Professor Pera urges European culture to proudly recall and reaffirm its origins and its universal democratic principles: freedom, equality and tolerance. In this respect, Europe must recognise the intrinsic value of a civilisation, Western civilisation, that has given the world so many universal ideas. “Europe must be aware of the moral superiority of a series of values that have prevailed over centuries and that have produced beneficial results wherever they have become established”.
