/15.04.15/.- La revista Cuadernos de Pensamiento Político, editada por FAES y dirigida por Javier Zarzalejos, publica su número 46, cuya nota editorial señala que la crisis del bipartidismo en España arranca en 2005, cuando “el proyecto de la Transición quedó interrumpido”. Además, Ignacio Martín Blanco desmonta en un artículo la atribución que el nacionalismo catalán hace del auge del separatismo a la mayoría absoluta de Aznar.
/15.04.15/.- The Director of International Policy of FAES Foundation, Rafael L. Bardají, addresses in this analysis the questions raised over the framework agreement reached on April 2 by the G5+1 and Iran on its nuclear program, and states that the different interpretations offered by Washington and Iran point to ‘essential differences still unresolved’.
On April 2, negotiators from the five permanent members of the Security Council of the UN, plus Germany and the EU representative on the one hand, and the Iranians on the other, finally reached a framework agreement on which to build a final agreement on the Iranian nuclear program. The White House rushed to announce the benefits of this framework agreement, while the Iranian leadership did the same.
/14.04.14/.- On the 150th anniversary of the end of the end of the American Civil War and of the assassination of Lincoln, the analyst Martín Alonso recalls that the challenge of the South threatened the very existence of the nation and the president, aware of this, went to war to preserve democracy and the Constitution. In this analysis published by FAES he states that giving in to the Confederacy’s blackmail would have entailed, in the long run, the destruction of the country, as the demands of the South would have continued.
This April marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War and of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (by a twist of fate, on Palm Sunday and Good Friday of that year). Lincoln, the first president of the Republican Party, created four years earlier to oppose the expansion of slavery, came into office on March 4, 1861, after the secession, a few months before, of seven southern states from the Union. Four more would do the same in the following weeks. Lincoln was a classical liberal who understood that the moral values stated in the Declaration of Independence (life, liberty and property) are eternal and inviolable and precede the establishment of governments among men and make them possible, not the other way round. The denial of these rights to slaves in the South...
Durante el último año la inflación se ha elevado sustancialmente en España. El IPC crece al 3,5%, frente al 2,2% de hace un año; el deflactor del PIB, lo hace a cerca del 5%; la inflación subyacente sube a casi el 3%. El diferencial de inflación con la eurozona es de 1,4 puntos, frente a los 0,5 puntos de hace un año. El cáncer inflacionista produce pérdida de competitividad de la producción española y se va a traducir en menor crecimiento y menor empleo. La causa principal de la inflación excesiva no es el choque de oferta petrolífero, sino la política económica del Gobierno: la política presupuestaria, demasiado expansiva en el actual contexto monetario de la eurozona, y la ausencia de reformas estructurales, que limita el crecimiento potencial de la economía española.
