The outcome of the presidential elections of 4 May in Panama is not overly surprising. The truth is that the Panamanian electoral behaviour is characterised by a constant alternation between the major parties (the Panamanian Party and the Democratic Revolutionary Party) ever since the military regime ended twenty-five years ago. No party has managed to win two consecutive presidencies, which shows there is a lively electoral competition, which was joined in 2009 by the Democratic Change of President Ricardo Martinelli. So much so, that the three main candidates continued having their aspirations late in Sunday, according to all polls.
/08.05.14/.- José María Aznar ha presentado en el Foro ABC al candidato del Partido Popular a las elecciones europeas, Miguel Arias Cañete. “Estoy aquí por mi amistad con Miguel Arias, que encara una de las tareas más importantes de su larga y brillante vida política […]; estoy también por compromiso con mi partido, que concurre a unas elecciones europeas que van a ser cruciales […], y estoy porque soy un europeísta sincero y creo que acreditado por mis actos”, ha dicho. | Lea aquí la intervención de José María Aznar |
/07.05.14/.- La Fundación FAES ha presentado en Barcelona el documento Cataluña en claro, que reúne las ponencias de los seminarios sobre el secesionismo nacionalista catalán organizados por FAES en los últimos meses. El documento es una reflexión sobre Cataluña como parte y protagonista de España, y una reafirmación de la realidad cívica, integradora y de progreso que es la democracia española, y que tiene su mejor expresión en la Constitución de 1978.
I like economists who, besides inventing things, are remembered for knowing how to explain the reality that surrounds them and making it understandable to others. I like economists who do not die, but survive the problems of their times and whose solutions reach future generations. I like economists who are convincing in simplicity, implacable in logic, overwhelming in evidence. This is how Nobel Prize winner economist and professor of Economics and Sociology at the University of Chicago, Gary Becker, was, and how we will always be.
On 25 May, Italians will take part in the elections to the European Parliament for the eighth time in their history. The first time was in 1979. In those elections, which are now historic, Democrazia Cristiana won 36.45% of the votes, followed by the Italian Partito Comunista, which managed to win 29.57% of the votes. Today, many other political actors will compete for the 73 seats that are allocated to Italy in the European Parliament. The same number of seats as the United Kingdom, while only France and Germany hold greater parliamentary representation, with 74 and 96 seats respectively.
