The Circle of Entrepreneurs maintains that Spain needs a new electoral mandate that will serve as an impetus for the structural reforms necessary to face the situation of "global change" and "credibly project Spain's position" on the international stage.
In a public statement, the business organization states that Spain "needs to undertake fundamental structural reforms and reinforce its strategic autonomy" in various areas, including education and human capital, energy, productivity, the labor market, market unity, innovation, business size, savings and investment, as well as administrative and institutional efficiency.
In this regard, it warns that, "without this effort," the country "runs the risk of facing the new historical cycle with structures and incentives inherited from a time that has already run out."
Similarly, it emphasizes that "reforms of this magnitude are not improvised nor are they sustained by precarious majorities," given that they require "institutional stability, continuity, and the capacity to adopt decisions and maintain them" with "loyalty" towards future generations.
In this vein, the Circle stresses that the "prolonged" lack of General State Budgets, "polarization," and the "deterioration of institutional capital" undermine the real capacity for governance and complicate "those long-term decisions that the country demands."
In any case, it insists that the problem "does not lie in knowing which reforms are necessary," but in "gathering sufficient political strength to undertake them."
Therefore, it concludes by defending that, "when a country needs fundamental transformations and lacks a sufficient mandate to drive them," it is essential to renew the exercise of citizens' power to choose their political representatives.
"It is the path that constitutional democracy itself foresees to restore its operational legitimacy and provide the Government with the strength that the circumstances demand, far from any short-term calculation," it has stated.
