CEID Senior Fellow Edit Inotai spoke at the National University of Public Service on 22nd March as a member of an expert panel on Spain. The Ambassadors’ Forum is an event organized regularly by the University. Special guest was H.E. José Ángel López Jorrin Ambassador of Spain to Hungary, who spoke about “Spain of the 21st century”. Ms Inotai highlighted the importance of Spain as an example for many Central European countries in its peaceful and successful political transition and economic transformation. She spoke about the lessons of the Spanish economic boom and the crisis, and the fragility of success. When talking about similarities between Hungary and Spain, she drew the attention to the essentially pro-European societies in both countries, but mentioned also the different approaches of the Spanish and Hungarian governments on the future of the EU.
