/06.30.2014/. – The Federal Finance Minister of Germany, Wolfgang Schäuble, stated that “there is no alternative between reducing public debt and boosting growth” and “Spain has been an example of this throughout the last two years”. Schäuble addressed the opening session of the Economy course of the 2014 FAES Campus together with the Spanish Minister of Economy and Competiveness, Luis de Guindos, who stated that “today Spanish economy is at a recovery phase” and “has achieved four quarters of positive growth, increasingly intense”.
The first day of the 2014 FAES Campus was completed this afternoon with the round table “Deleverage, Credit and Employment”. Román Escolano, President of the ICO Foundation; José Manuel González-Páramo, former member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank’s and Elga Bartsch, Morgan Stanley’s Chief European Economist took part in it. Miguel Marín, Director of the FAES Economy and Public Policies Department introduced the speakers and chaired the roundtable.
The president Juan Manuel Santos (50.95%) finally won with almost six points over Óscar Iván Zuluaga (45%) the ballots were opened until the counting of the votes and were marked almost exclusively by the debate on peace, the dialogue with the guerrillas and its conditions. For twenty years in Colombia there were not presidential elections with such a tight difference, when Ernesto Samper won with little difference against the future president Andrés Pastrana. However, abstention was not avoided by the high electoral rivalry and reached 54% and only 16 million people out of the 33 million voters exercise their right.

The results of the elections of the past May 25th to elect the European Parliament highlighted a bulk of abstention and an increase of left and right-wings populisms. Obviously, abstention is an endemic European political problem, but the truth is that, in comparison with the past elections of 2009, participation rose slightly. Moreover, abstention is not mainly a European phenomenon, but it is a national phenomenon with European consequences.
