Current Event • Tightest Spain budget in decades passes hurdle • Theme- Peace and Security, because it is related to the economy • Summary- Spain is lowering the budget by $36 billion to help resolve the economic crisis. By June, the budget is expected to get final approval. • Relation to Class- Isabella and Ferdinand caused a bad economy when they forced all the Jews and Muslims, who were money lenders, to leave. • Reaction- We think this is a step in the right direction to restoring the economy in Spain.
