Dear employer, counted and discussed the crisis began to feel voices calling for a pact of state, but a different pact with the spirit of the Moncloa Pacts of 1977. The first was suggested, with little impact, it must be said, was the Economic Circle with its document view from July 2008 called for an urgent response to a serious crisis. The need for social and economic agreement. His concluding paragraph said: "The Economic Circle appeals to the Government to convene, with the agreement of the opposition, a wide agreement that, in addition to reducing the impact of the crisis turns into a opportunity to put the Spanish economy into the future. Simply by calling the agreement would create a climate of trust, certainly, positively affects the dynamics of Spanish society, which has demonstrated its ability to overcome even the most difficult moments. "
The Circle was diagnosed very well what was coming and it was several months in advance for Spain proposed that after the world through the G-20, made in November 2008 in Washington together to promote an agreement; an agreement based on a compromise: "We are determined to strengthen our cooperation and work together to restore economic growth in the world and to carry out the necessary reforms in financial systems worldwide." That is, different approaches, different interests, but come together to try to find solutions. True, they may be skeptical, it is all right, but also can have hope, if only to avoid falling into distress. We will see continued on 2 April in London.
Returning to Spain, it is possible the agreement? Allow play another text: "Not only is there a gap between the ideals we profess as a nation and the reality that we are witnessing every day (...). No, what is worrying is the gap between the magnitude of our challenges and the smallness of our politics, the ease with which we are distracted with things trivial and insignificant, the chronic avoidance of the crucial decisions, the inability to supply an apparent consensus allowing face major problems. " This is a paragraph from the book The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama that perfectly appropriate moment in which we live, and we keep ourselves in the diagnosis and can remedy them.
Following the argument of the Circle, you must sit in Spain who have to sit and pass the troubling gap between the magnitude of our challenges and the smallness of our politics. More than ever our society needs to be able to take arguments for optimism that we have.
