President Pedro Sánchez emphasized that his government is ‘working effectively’ to improve Spain’s position since 2018, citing 26 legislative approvals this parliamentary term. He reiterated commitment to combating climate change, declaring a civil protection emergency over eight wildfires and pledging resources to extinguish fires. Sánchez called for a ‘State Pact on the climate emergency’ to address rising risks, stressing that climate denial exacerbates threats. Economically, Spain grew five times faster than Italy in 2026, with record job creation and NextGenerationEU funds contributing to growth. Welfare spending increased by 145 billion euros, with expanded healthcare, education, and housing initiatives. Sánchez also highlighted regional cooperation, including progress with Catalonia, and Spain’s foreign policy focused on ‘consistency and common sense’ in global affairs.
