Many think of Frankfurt as the financial centre of the EU and, therefore, as its economic beating heart. One can also say the same about our national capitals and two or three of the largest cities in every member state. Indeed, most Spanish wealth is concentrated in Madrid and Barcelona. But does the future of the EU depend solely on them?
We, the Socialists & Democrats, are convinced that this is not — and cannot be — the case. In fact, Spain will be a successful society when we unlock the entire potential of our nation — from Madrid to the outermost regions like the Canary Islands and the rural areas of Murcia. The same most certainly applies to the EU, from Frankfurt to the northernmost regions of Finland and the areas hit by the climate emergency we live in, in particular the villages and small towns suffering from devastating fires and floods in Poland, Croatia and Greece.
