Maria Dolores de Cospedal, president of the Castilla-La Mancha region and Spain's struggle for "cleaned up accounts"
07/22/2010
A 27% unemployment rate and GDP declline at annual rate of 3.1% by June 2012 in Castilla-La Mancha create difficult conditions. Cospedal is the senior leader in the Partido Popular after prime minister Mariano Rajoy. She says she wants growth and employment, but her first priority is to have "cleaned up accounts" so that Spain's borrowing costs can be brought down. Lack of credible finances in the regions are a major problem in Spain recognized by all sides, but the drive to reestablish credibility comes at a time of rising unemployment.

Spain's efforts to control regional spending
07/22/2010
Spain is a highly decentralized country with the central government in Madrid able to exercize little control on spending by the regions. The eurozone crisis and the higher than expected 8% deficit in Spain for 2011 is changing attitudes in the regions and in Madrid. The clause inserted in the constitution in 2011 with Germany's insistence for a balanced budget gives Madrid power to restrain spending. An agreement was reached with regional governments including Catalonia for new legislation on spending controls. Valencia was downgraded along with Spain in the recent downgrade of Spain's credit rating.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
