The economic outlook and its influence on the Spanish political situation was the topic of the Meeting organized by DiplomacyNews and the Association of Foreign Diplomats (ADE) at the Hyatt Regency Hesperia Hotel in Madrid, with the head of Economics at Onda Cero Radio, Ignacio Rodriguez Burgos, as the speaker.
Before about fifty foreign diplomats, Rodríguez Burgos offered a broad view of the effects that the economy has had and has on Spanish politics and regarding the options of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, to renew his mandate. A difficult situation, as reflected in the polls, but not strictly impossible.
Following the initial presentation by the economic specialist, there was an interesting question and answer session in which attendees were interested in multiple details about the Spanish economy and other current issues related to the upcoming elections.
