There are countries that are near ours which are in the situation which we all know. I want to say that this is not the case of Spain now and it will not be in the future.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In Spain, we should have enough intelligence, enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship.
I think it is important to help our country's image outside of Spain.
Whatever may be said as to our relations to some other countries, I think the relations of this country to Spain offer no ties of gratitude or of blood.
No Spanish government has given into terror and no government will do that.
Spain is facing an economic situation of extreme difficulty, I repeat, of extreme difficulty, and anyone who doesn't understand that is fooling themselves.
Italy and Spain really are not my countries.
But, you know, once you're in government, very often you need to shoulder responsibility. I hope the new Spanish government will think about this and will therefore act accordingly. I really and sincerely hope so.
In Spain, the dead are more alive than the dead of any other country in the world.
If Spain goes under, Italy will come under even more scrutiny.
It is no secret to anyone that we are going to rule in the most delicate circumstances Spain has faced in 30 years.
