  5. Success President Mas: serious & credible strategy Germans and spanish (Schäuble: fiscal & banking union): serious politics consistent-coherent and frivolous politics 1.- Predictability, transparency, consistency and coherence • →23.04.2012, Mas in TV3: Parliament debate economic • concert in July, August in Madrid ... if there is no response, • new elections!?! → FT editorial 20.09.2012.

The Economist 1.- “Breaking up” (03.11.2012): → Indebted Spain won't be able to veto Scotland: “its candidacy would be fast-tracked by the European Commission, with a heavily EU-dependent Spain ultimately unlikely to oppose it” 2.- “Rajoy, one year on” (22.12.2012) → ”With the outlook so grim, it is no surprise that Catalan politicians talk seriously of secession“ 3.- UK Parliament (Graham Avery, 2012): “Scotland is not Turkey”. UK Government (Crawford & Boyle, 2013)

  10. The Wall Street Journal • 1.- Why Spain Won't Reform (R. Zhong, 26.04.2012) • → Genetic Centralism of Big Madrid: State officials dynasties, elite extractive pro status quo no incentive to change it. • 2.- Spain, Rescued but Not Saved (R. Zhong, 30.12.2012) • → Same (really low) profile ministers PP and PSOE! • 3.- Spain Drains Fund Backing Pensions (03.01.2013) → 2011: 90% SS reserves invested funds buying Spanish government bonds (“successful” auctions)
