EUROPE IN THE FACE OF CRISIS: CHALLENGES AND RESPONSES
The new political balances of the continent, its possible expansion to other eastern countries that look to the European Union for protection against Russian expansionism and the challenge of recovering the lost competitiveness against the United States and Asia are presented as the major issues that the country will have to address. new parliament. And it will have to do so without forgetting other classic chapters of the European agenda such as the energy transition, fiscal discipline or pending improvements in governance or market unity. An intense agenda for a Europe devoid of the leaderships of yesteryear and much more politically fragmented.
Europe has always moved forward when challenged by a crisis and Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been the accelerator of the pending debate on European security and defence. Beyond strategic or political considerations, the need to strengthen European defense also becomes an opportunity to give a boost to our forgotten industrial policy.
The La Toja-Vínculo Atlántico Forum celebrates its fifth anniversary this year. In that short space of time it has become accredited as one of the main spaces for public conversation in Spain. Its conferences each year in the exceptional setting of the island of La Toja in Galicia are an essential event for calm and plural reflection on the main issues of our time. After having held equally successful conferences in Lisbon in two consecutive years, we now present this dialogue forum in Seville, with the same vocation for inclusive dialogue and reflection on an issue as transcendent as the next European challenges.
