Rome, 9 Sept. (LaPresse) – “The other day, Ms Meloni celebrated the fact that she has been at the helm of the Italian government for over three years. That’s all well and good, but we have been in office for more than eight years. This is the longest-serving government of the democratic era, second only to that of Felipe González. And, of course, over the course of these years I have seen many prime ministers – British, French, Italian and from many other European countries – step down from office.” This was stated by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in an interview with the public broadcaster TVE, highlighting the stability of his government. “Today, for example, following the elections in Saxony and the far-right’s victory in the region, there is even talk of the survival of a possible Merz government in Germany: nothing less than that. “I believe this also demonstrates how the stability we have ensured is one of the reasons why we are now recording growth four times higher than the European average, as well as creating almost half a million new jobs a year since the start of the pandemic,” said Sánchez, “These are social and economic achievements which, despite the challenges of the international context and any domestic difficulties we may face – such as the housing crisis – demonstrate that Spain is experiencing one of its finest moments. And if we compare ourselves with the other major economies in our region, this fact is certainly indisputable: absolutely indisputable.”
