“I will work for Hispanicity in my country. I commit myself from the first moment and I assure you that I will not disappoint you”, Núñez Feijóo pointed out, at an event organized in Madrid by the European PP with Hispanics residing in Spain, coinciding with the Ibero-American summit that is being held this weekend In Santo Domingo.
An act that the president of the PP has described as a “diplomatic failure” because it is the only summit between Europe and America that is going to take place when this country is going to assume the Presidency of the Council of the EU in the second half of 2023.
“Spain has to be the fundamental bridge between Europe and Latin America”, said the leader of the PP, to then ensure that this cannot be a “political slogan”, but “the guiding principle of Spanish politics”.
Feijóo defends the role of Spain as a gateway between Hispanics and the EU
Feijóo, interrupted on several occasions at the shout of the president, has defended the need for Spain to serve as a “gateway to the institutions and markets of the rest of the EU of all Latin American countries.”
For this reason, he has insisted that the Government of Spain should take advantage of the current Presidency of the Commission to achieve greater integration of the European Union in Latin America.
Specifically, it has been referred that through the Presidency of the Council the agreement with Mercosur -a market of more than 700 million people-, as well as with Chile and Mexico, should be closed.
Feijóo has pointed out that, along with these major agreements, it is necessary to adopt other measures such as the abolition of the visa with Ecuador, just as former President Mariano Rajoy did with other countries such as Colombia and Peru.
“I feel proud to be with the Spanish-American people and I do not miss meeting with some rulers of the Spanish-American nations,” he ironized, alluding “to not paying homage to autocrat apprentice rulers” who use their people not to improve and prosper, but to improve and prosper them.
The popular leader has indicated that he will be “always close to those who fight for freedom and far from those who threaten and violate it”, during his speech at this event with Hispanics, in which flags of all countries could be seen waving countries and banners supporting the PP.
