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.
It is true that the elections for the European Parliament of next May 25th are special. Because the juncture the European Union is going through is special and also the response to the crisis that marked the last five years is special. Do we have to maintain an exceptional policy –austerity and budgetary stability– that allowed the survival of the euro and the stabilization and consolidation of the European Union? Do we have to strength and legalize –we can say, return to normality– this exceptional policy?
The Spanish economy has a strong degree of momentum in terms of economic growth (above the European average) based on the significant expansion of domestic demand. Over the year and a half in which the present government has been in power, not a single significant economic measure has been introduced, although the effects of previous reforms continue to be felt.
