Zapatero Quer Acelerar Aprovação da Constituição Europeia

No EU Observer.

The new socialist-led government in Spain has indicated an immediate softening of Madrid's tough stance on the European Constitution.

Speaking on Monday (15 March) to radio station Cadena Ser, prime minister-elect Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said that he wants to "speed up" the finishing of talks on the Constitution.

He said he believes that Europe can quickly come to an agreement on a "sensible power balance" for the enlarged EU.

(...)

"Europe must return to seeing us as an amiable country, a country which is pro-European, a country that does not divide, not between old Europe nor new Europe" he said.


Estas declarações esclarecem mais duas das duvidas que eu tinha formulado. A Espanha alinhará com o eixo Paris-Berlim quanto à Contituição Europeia (e previsivelmente noutros assuntos). Resta saber se Schroder e Chirac lhe conferirão um estatuto idêntico ao seu ou o tratarão como um aliado menor.

Esperemos que o Governo português tenha uma posição mais firme nas próximas rondas negociais.
