THE CONDIFENCIAL: SPAIN, THE ECONOMY MORE SICK OF EUROPE. Censored PHEASANT IN CASE

Source: Confidential.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited Spain for six hours yesterday and the news could not be ignored, of course, to the news on television from Germany. At eight o'clock in the afternoon, the major networks broadcast their news and far from open in the presence of its representative in Spain, did the revolt in Egypt . Only after this first contact with international news, the presenters will spent time in Spain.

A Spain that, according to ZDF , the most watched newscast in the country, is "the economy sicker Europe." It began chronicling the Germans in our country correspondents and special envoys. Almost all strings presented to Spain like a 'protectorate' of the European Union and Germany itself, Berlin was as if you dictate to us English homework.

To the extent that our Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero , hardly appeared in the chronicles television. There was only space for the chancellor, of course, and for His Majesty King Don Juan Carlos . Zapatero responses in the press conference were intentionally obvious and German television news focused their summaries in the words of Merkel and the meeting with the monarch.

The other event which also found space in the chronicles was meeting of ministers of both countries. But above all, the German writers confined themselves to the script that has been starring in the information on Spain in Germany: our country has yet to make major reforms to prevent recurrence markets endanger European stability , and it is Germany that will tell us what to do. Nothing to do with the idyllic image of the meeting offered the English media yesterday.

Zapatero, a famous "optimistic"

Moreover, the British weekly The Economist today considered the reforms launched by Zapatero have come too late ", as all polls indicate that the Socialist leader lose election 2012. In an article entitled "English Economic Perspective: Reforming Zapatero ', The Economist Zapatero defined as a" famous optimistic "and a" socialist president who made liberal reforms "he wants the world to believe that Spain has changed to "finally." In this line, remember that the English prime minister has the confidence of markets and is unpopular with the English and warns that the recent "reform effort" has limits.

publication echoes the signing of the 'social contract' this week and, in particular, delaying the retirement age at age 67, although he notes that "has many exceptions" and that the English have to find a job before retirement. "Unemployment is above 20% and the increase is proof that Spain urgently needs many more changes," he says. In addition, the weekly criticism that the new covenant has left important issues unresolved collective bargaining as provided March.

also notes that the firm 'social contract' came a day before the German chancellor to visit Spain, who many think that Zapatero has made a "killing work," and with which Merkel is expected to convince its citizens that Spain is not Greece or Ireland and thus gain the support of its citizens to increase rescue fund.

The Economist believes that the covenant social and a higher rescue fund would help alleviate concerns about sovereign debt "at least for the moment" and recalls the sector reform savings. "It remains to be seen whether this is enough to restore confidence in the growth for a country that builds nearly a third of unemployment in the euro area," he adds.
