Antonio Garrigues Walker has just talked about Spain on the radio.
He is an old lawyer, who has a very prestigious law firm and he is the President of the World Association of Lawyers and Founder of Transparency International Spain. He also was one of the protagonists of the Transition Politics in Spain.
Antonio thinks that in Spain we need “Great thinkers and great modernizers”. And he notes the example of Ortega y Gasset –who was a great thinker and a great modernizer, at an intellectual level, at the political level, etc--.
He thinks that Spanish people are not aware of the isolation that Spain has had the rest of the world during very many years.
He says that we need great thinkers, who have a great capacity for dialogue and for consensus.
He also says that Democracy is not living right, but to live in disagreement.That is the trouble in Spain: that we are not able to maintain a dialogue.
However, he is an optimistic man of Spain, because he thinks that our country is in a great location. He says that we have to be optimistic, because many other countries have troubles with their economy, as Spain do.
He is agree about that we are living a change of epoch. We will never live as before we did.
He also thinks that it is possible to create a transparency when funding to political parties. The transparency is a necessary value.
He also says that all these cases of corruption will bring a better society to Spain.
And he thinks that the capacity of Spain is very big. For example, the tourist capacity. Also, our energetic capacity. Our capacity in the communications sector, for example in the manufacture of high-speed trains. Therefore, we must recognize that we have many values.
