Observatory of the foreign image of spain in the international press (opiex) and collects the information that appears in the foreign press on domestic issues. The last report is from 2009. By country, those most interested in spanish issues are those from our european environment, germany, italy, belgium, france, the united kingdom and portugal and the united states. But it is surprising , according to analysts, that references to spain also reach the press in china, russia and japan . As for the topics most widely spread in the pages of newspapers, as el confidencial digital has confirmed , the economy continues to be the most discussed topic. And within this section the financial sector and banks , the increase in taxes and the labor market. The comments are rather positive , highlighting the banking situation in spain compared to that of other countries. The references made in the internationally prestigious press to the spanish political class , cases of corruption , crime or the mafias that operate in our country are not so good. “the image of spanish political parties appears very deteriorated” says the report.
And he details some of the comments: “spanish politics prefers hubbub to dialogue,” in de volkskrant, or “bullfight-style politics,” in liberation. Judge baltasar garzón maintains his position although references to his cases decrease by 15%, although the issue Special Database that stands out the most is his accusation of prevarication. The treatment that this topic receives, as in previous editions, reflects "The contradiction of the spanish justice system , which, while pursuing dictators and criminals outside its borders, is incapable of doing the same within our own country." the references to the media are basically focused on the problems of the prisa group as well as the newspaper el país's criticism of the government of josé luis rodríguez zapateroaccording to legislative sources consulted by el confidencial digital , the fad credits (development aid funds) that paid part of the barceló leadership in geneva will be split off. Thus, the new legislation will include the fiem funds (internationalization of the company), which will depend on the ministry of industry, and the fonprode funds (development promotion), which will depend on the ministry of foreign affairs and cooperation.
Aside from the fact that the current cooperation law , which reforms the one approved unanimously during the time of josé maría aznar , is behind schedule according to the executive's forecasts, the regulatory framework for fad credits is notably inadequate for current times: it is legislation which dates back to 1977 , when spain had no experience in development cooperation. The new law will not set the priority issues for spanish cooperation , the details of which are the responsibility of the different cooperation master plans , of three-year preparation and scope. The law, on the other hand, will respond to the new paradigms of cooperation: the transition from specific projects to medium and long-term programs , the support of cooperation between countries ( south-south cooperation , for example), and the new figure of delegated cooperation , by which a country offers its aid budget to another country that is an expert in a certain area. The law must in no case set a minimum percentage of gdp allocated to cooperation, although the government wants to reach the symbolic 0.7% throughout the legislature.
