Let the institutions work

The former president of Chile, Ricardo Lagos, the first left-wing leader to come to power after the Pinochet dictatorship, coined a phrase in 2011 that could be valid for any democracy, and even more so for the Spanish one these days: “Let the institutions work”. A socialist, but a democrat,...

‘Raise your eyes’

I confess that I was moved when I heard the hymn Raise Your Eyes on the occasion of Leo XIV's apostolic journey scheduled for 6 to 12 June. Less than a month to go. This song is inspired by a quotation from the Gospel of St John (Jn 4,35) and is presented as a...

Andalusia: the PP consolidates Vox's need and the PSOE sinks to an all-time low

The elections in Andalusia consolidate the PP's leadership in the south and reinforce the trend of territorial strengthening of the right in the current political cycle. Juanma Moreno consolidates his majority with an electorate that rewards stability and moderation, while the PSOE continues to struggle to recover ground...

Leo XIV: disarming words

Today marks the first anniversary of Leo XIV's election as head of the Catholic Church.

The adviser and his reputation

The day the message ceased to obey

In April 2017, a passenger was forcibly ejected from a United Airlines plane. He was dragged down the aisle while other travellers filmed the scene with their mobile phones, which, today more than yesterday but less than tomorrow, constitutes in all the world's communication manuals...

Improvisation is not a strategy

Building a brand from scratch is not a question of aesthetics. It is, above all, a strategic exercise that requires rigour, time and active listening that goes far beyond the management offices. This is what Julia Montoro, director of PROA Comunicación, a strategic consultancy firm specialising in reputation, communication...

In defence, legitimacy also counts

Defence, like other strategic sectors, moves today in a space where industry, innovation, public policy and social sensitivity converge and sectors in which growth does not depend solely on investing more, innovating better or gaining size. It also depends on something less tangible, but increasingly decisive: being...

Too late for housing

In Spain there are themes that work like long-running series, new seasons are announced, some actors change and the plot remains the same, but with few twists in the script. La vivienda is probably the longest-running series of them all, long anchored in the drama genre ....

Defence as a country brand

Spain now has an opportunity that should not be missed Defence in Spain has occupied a political and institutional space that is often uncomfortable, often reactive and frequently reduced to budgetary talk. This framework is no longer valid. Europe has entered a new phase, and with it...
