Order to make spain's economic solvency clear to the world . Rajoy's intervention --rajoy 's speech has been structured in three parts: criticism of the government, conditions for the pact, presentation as an alternative government . It has been more forceful than on other occasions. --thus, the 'popular' leader has begun by highlighting the current "Improvisation" and "Misgovernment" , in an economic situation that he has described as "Dire." the “concern” also extends to the socialists, according to rajoy, who, throughout his speech, has referred on different occasions to the trips to london and the current international discredit of spain. In this sense, he highlighted the good performance of the pp when it came to making spain behave like the “serious nation” that it is. --rajoy wanted to dismantle with figures - above all unemployment - the socialist perception that spain is overcoming the crisis. And he has accused the government of not having wanted to reach agreements, despite the fact that he has proposed them on six occasions. Therefore, the current situation is the sole fault of zapatero : “he has been able to govern as he wanted and you are the only one responsible .
Rajoy has also reproached zapatero for his distancing from reality, while he has been forced to rectify measures such as reducing spending or reforming the labor market. --the opposition leader has set out his conditions for reaching agreements: immediate Special Database withdrawal of tax increases, vat reform, drastic reduction of public spending, elimination of senior officials, reform of the 2010 budget (to remove the clause that allows raising the spending ceiling and the debt limit) and legal emphasis on the fight against late payments . --finally, rajoy, who has ruled out exceptional measures (motion of censure or early elections), has run before the lower house as leader of an alternative government project, and has urged the socialists - to the general surprise - to remove his support for zapatero .The extraordinary council was held on the 11th, at noon, in the justus lipsius building in brussels, and the heads of state and government of the 27 had been convened to discuss, almost exclusively, how to articulate the economic recovery of the european union . But first, first thing in the morning, the main european leaders, that is, angela merkel, nicolas sarkozy and gordon brown , had a private breakfast , which josé luis rodríguez zapatero did not attend because they did not notify him.
Even worse detail was that, to make matters worse 'inri', at the end of breakfast they gave him a note with their conclusions , that is, those of the summit. Circumstances that have not been reflected in the information sent from the european capital. Another negative detail was that the aforementioned leaders brought their respective official vehicles , armored of course, and traveled around brussels in them, while they left the spanish president alone in the armored bus . The permanent president of the council, herman van rompuy , had called this meeting to analyze the impact of the measures taken so far and study the current situation of the economy. The 2020 strategy was discussed , which replaces the lisbon strategy, and whose objective is to promote a new model of economic growth that consolidates the eu as a competitive space abroad and prevents similar crises from occurring in the future.The arrival in spain of two guantanamo prisoners was announced for the end of january or beginning of february and has not yet materialized. In this case it was a palestinian citizen and another yemeni. The minister of foreign affairs, miguel ángel moratinos , confirmed that the figure had increased. From two it went to five, although nothing is yet known about the remaining three.
