Spain's Dec. 2015 general election
12/21/2015
Spain's Dec. 2015 general election led to Spain's ruling Partido Popular Party losing its absolute majority in parliament. The centre right parties won 163 seats- Partido Popular winning 123 seats and Ciudadanos Party winning 40 seats. The centre left parties won 159 seats- the Socialist Party led by Pedro Sanchez winning 90 seats, and Podemos led by Iglesias winning 69 seats. The result is inconclusive with both Sanchez and the prime minister Rajoy hoping to form a new coalition government. High unempoyment of about 20%, even though the economy is recovering and growing at 3%, hurt the ruling conservative Partido Popular party. Both Podemos and Ciudadanos are new parties in response to austerity policies and corruption.

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.
