"Hope overcame fear and Europe found its place. Spain proposed a Marshall Plan and Europe approved it." With these words, the President of the Government has begun his speech in the plenary session of Congress to explain the agreement reached at the last European Council under which the EU will free a total of 750,000 million euros between transfers and loans to face the pandemic and boost the economy of the 27.

The head of the Executive has emphasized that the European and the Spanish agenda "are aligned" in digitization, in ecological transition, in equality between men and women and in social and territorial cohesion. "The project with which we started the legislature is the same we have today. We vindicate it," he assured. "What Europe is asking for is the Spain we have, the one we decided at the beginning of the legislature with a coalition government," he stressed, thus influencing his will not to change the economic guidelines on which the economy intends to circulate.

The European decision, in Sánchez's opinion, has been a success for Europe while the formula used to face the 2008 crisis was a failure. "Europe is Europe again," said the president, who has once again been received at the entrance to the Hemicicycle by applause from the PSOE bench and United We Can.

Sánchez has reviewed, country by country, the progress of the extreme right in recent years. In Spain, this progress has also taken place with Vox occupying the third place in Congress with 52 seats, a "disturbing" evolution, according to the president, which occurred precisely "because Europe was wrong" in the great crisis of 2008, when " forgot about people. "

The chief executive has insisted time and time again that it was Spain who called for a grand Marshall plan and common debt instruments in the EU. "The position of Spain was decisive in the final result of these negotiations," he said, noting the success of the European decision, a decision that began its journey at the European Council on April 23, continued in that of June 19, and finally ended in the one of the past days 17 to 20 July.
