  • Spain's just had its third election in just over three years. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and his socialist party won the most votes but weren't able to secure a majority. This may result in the country facing further political deadlock. So why is Spain's political system so unstable? CNBC's Tom Chitty explains.

      USA might have the most advanced democracy in the world, formally speaking, even with the drawbacks of a centuries long constitution. I'm not saying it is perfect but Spain is decades behind in terms of politics. Also, UK has a better political system, citizens can speak and demand stuff to their district representative. Meanwhile in Spain, we've got an oligarchic regime which inherits its main structure from the franquism era. We didn't choose the king, we were not involved in or even aware of the creation of the 78's constitution which should not be called constitution since it does not separate any powers, civil parties turned into state parties and basically absolute power is granted to the party or parties in coalition that win the elections.

      @@sergiofueyosuarez2839 our politicians (the leaders of every party) betrayed the Junta Democratica and its original principles when they agreed that the king would succeed Franco after his death and there would not be any period of constituent freedom. Then Suarez govern legalized these parties and put them into the state (with the respective public financing) so they could no longer be a civil organization as they should be. So, in 1977 ordinary court elections were held (non constituent) and these parties agreed to create a constitution that was already being redacted in secret by a commission of representatives, as journalist Pedro Altares discovered (www.diarioerc.com/2018/02/20/una-oprobiosa-transaccion/). No citizen was ever involved in the vote of form of government, king or the creation of a constitution. Therefore, I'm sorry but your last sentence is a lie.

      That Constitutional Court took a Catalan Statute approved by Catalan parliament, Spanish Congress, Spanish Senate and by the Catalan people in referendum... and decided that some of it was "unconstitutional", so the judges proceeded to butcher it a bit more (fuck accountability and the will of the people, 'cause this is Spain)
      The problem is that certain important judiciary organs in Spain simply aren't independent.
      The Spanish Constitutional Court is formed by 12 judges, 10 of whom are appointed by the government + congress + senate...
      What's wrong with this system? Well, when parties like PP (one of the most corrupt in Europe) get an absolute majority in both congress and senate (hence they also get the government), PP gets to appoint 10 out of 12 judges to the Constitutional Court...

      @C R Um, okay, I see why that's how you read that, but it didn't happen like that. It was more a thing of one party (PP) taking it up to supreme court, that they themselves had appointed before losing seats in congress to PSOE, and then their judges mangling the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia. Big detail to understand all of that, is that a lot of the improvements that were being approved for the Catalan people are (and were even then, 2010) already approved for quite a few other autonomous communities (regions) in Spain.
      There is an undercurrent of dislike, and sometimes even hate, in Spain towards the different historical communities with different languages, especially Catalonia and Basque Country. The Basque Country, however, is not being punished politically and economically in the same way. They have a very different history and have had their share of unfairness dealt to them, in other arenas.

      Nuria Nadal that’s bullshit. You either lie or are misinformed. The resolution dictated by the Constitutional Court on the Estatut was backed by the PROGRESSIVE majority in said court. That is to say, by the judges appointed by the Socialist government of the time. It is simply false, however widespread this lie might be, that the conservative members of the Court sought to overrule the will of Congress and the people. In fact, Conservative judges added PARTICULAR VOTES to said sentence, in which they stated that, in their view, and in the view of anyone with any knowledge and decency, the Law should be cut down A LOT more.
      And that’s because it should have been. It’s because the Estatut was overwhelmingly, painstakingly unconstitutional. It’s because our president of the time was a big fat arse who comitted to accept whatever came out of the Catalan regional parliament (!!!!!). Whether you support greater autonomy for Catalunia or not, you cannot modifiy the Constitution through a lower-ranking law, in this case a Estatut. They should have reformed the Constitution, then proceeded with their bullshitting on a regional level if that’s what they wanted to. Aaaaah, but 2/3 of Congress were required for that, aaaah, they no longer had a majority. If only. So they chose to take us into this huge mess. Because our politicians are idiots, and to be honest so is our whole country.

    I hope that CNBC has the decency to apologize for this insulting video and make it available to the universities so they can study what the fake news is.
    1. The title of the video already invites confusion when talking about an "unstable Spain", although it can be considered that the parliament is fragmented that does not mean that Spain is unstable. the Spanish constitution endows this country with absolute institutional and political stability.
    2. It is that constitution that makes Spain, institutions, regions, municipalities, courts, etc ... continue to function and not be affected by political fragmentation.
    3. with respect to Catalonia! it is that same constitution and those same stable courts that managed to stop a coup in Spain in 2017.
    4. When this video speaks of "a Madrid court declaring the referendum illegal", it is implied that it was an arbitrary decision because it is not explained that the court that prohibited the referendum was the constitutional court, the one in charge to protect and preserve the laws of Spain.
    5. In the same way when it is said that the leaders of the referendum were arrested for organizing a referendum against the constitution, it is not said that it is that constitution that protects their right to be pro-independence nationalists, among other rights.
    6. once again this video shows the little understanding that the Anglo-Saxon countries have of other countries of the world, which often have better democracies than theirs. espanaglobal.gob.es/en/current-news/society/spain-once-again-full-democracy-according-annual-index-economist
    7. I expected the CNBC to follow the journalistic standards of investigating and contrasting information, but this video makes it clear that neither one nor the other has been done.
    8. this video is a pure cut and paste of sensationalist headlines of badly informed newspapers and does not respond to the political and social complexiti of a country. this cheap "analysis" may only have come to light for two reasons: the first that CNBC is full of uneducated people and the second that they have done so wanting to hide the political and institutional instability that they suffer.
    As a lover of Spanish politics, I recommend that you inform yourself of the fascinating history of Spain, how advanced its constitution and its institutions are and how insteresting the political terrain is.

You cant apply 27% to all areas of the country. So People, dont pay attention to this video, is a bit bias, the data are inacurrate and old dated.

      Spain is so unstable because the political system shifts constantly from neo-marxism to socialism, depending on the ruling party (left vs right, respectively). Taxes are outrageous, with a 45% taxing bracket at 60,000 euros annual income and 30% taxes for an average Spanish salary . Salaries (average salary is 23,000 eur/yr) rank as the eighth highest out of 22 European countries; however, the average cost of living in a city like Madrid is 15,948/yr for one person living in a small apartment BUT this costs climbs up to 38,076 eur /yr for a 4 person/ family living in a medium apartment, which makes the costs of living unsustainable for one single working member in a family, on average. Morever, Spain has traditionally had a huge unemployment rate (14% at present) but keeps importing illegal immigrants from northern Africa with no qualifications whatsoever (and giving them more social benefits than any legal Spanish citizen, with no perspective for having a return to that "investment" in any near or far future). My personal view about why it has such an unstable political-economic situation is because the economy is highly state-controlled (resembling a communist system) and it does not adapt on time to the constant changes of the socioeconomic environment. Furthermore, this state control system deviates insane amounts of money and resources to services of no use for the national economy, promotes sectarianism (at regional level: e.g. catalunya, vasc country), perpetuates corruption and empowers local mafia-like individuals who make all possible efforts to keep on top of their pyramid by prevaricating over the ones below them. This mafia prevails at all levels that depend on these state funds (not only at the independentist institutions, but in economic sectors like health, transportation or fishing & agriculture). I lived in Spain for nearly 20 years. Thanks God I am out of there. Spain, like many other parts of Europe, is in my opinion doomed... unless they snapped out of their idealized socialist utopia. My advice to anyone thinking about going to Spain would be: only go there for tourism or for retiring, never for working or investing.

      Well, Spain for 30 years has been basically a two party system with a small third party and several nationalistic parties, most of the times only one party was able to govern alone, and sometimes with the help of regional parties. The biggest problem of political instability is that Catalan nationalist parties don't support any more any national parties unless they do a referendum of independence, so now you have three different blocks (left, right and Catalan nationalist parties) that if not any of them gets a majority in the parliament is very difficult for them to govern. It's possible that they will even need to repeat elections again.

    @runningsteam6941 5 років тому +8

    Spain is so unstable because the political system shifts constantly from neo-marxism to socialism, depending on the ruling party (left vs right, respectively). Taxes are outrageous, with a 45% taxing bracket at 60,000 euros annual income and 30% taxes for an average Spanish salary . Salaries (average salary is 23,000 eur/yr) rank as the eighth highest out of 22 European countries; however, the average cost of living in a city like Madrid is 15,948/yr for one person living in a small apartment BUT this costs climbs up to 38,076 eur /yr for a 4 person/ family living in a medium apartment, which makes the costs of living unsustainable for one single working member in a family, on average. Morever, Spain has traditionally had a huge unemployment rate (14% at present) but keeps importing illegal immigrants from northern Africa with no qualifications whatsoever (and giving them more social benefits than any legal Spanish citizen, with no perspective for having a return to that "investment" in any near or far future). My personal view about why it has such an unstable political-economic situation is because the economy is highly state-controlled (resembling a communist system) and it does not adapt on time to the constant changes of the socioeconomic environment. Furthermore, this state control system deviates insane amounts of money and resources to services of no use for the national economy, promotes sectarianism (at regional level: e.g. catalunya, vasc country), perpetuates corruption and empowers local mafia-like individuals who make all possible efforts to keep on top of their pyramid by prevaricating over the ones below them. This mafia prevails at all levels that depend on these state funds (not only at the independentist institutions, but in economic sectors like health, transportation or fishing & agriculture). I lived in Spain for nearly 20 years. Thanks God I am out of there. Spain, like many other parts of Europe, is in my opinion doomed... unless they snapped out of their idealized socialist utopia. My advice to anyone thinking about going to Spain would be: only go there for tourism or for retiring, never for working or investing.

    According to our Constitution, Spain is a nation of nations. It is not accurate to use the terms nationalist and separatist in the same way because they are not exactly the same. There are quite a lot of nationalist citizens that don't want their regions to become independent but to have some autonomy when governing. It is specially important for all of us who have different cultures, speak different languages and have a better understanding of our problems and needs than a completely centralized Government. Spain is a very culturally diverse country and a single, absolutely centralized Government just doesn't fit the needs of every region.
    By the way, talking about cultural diversity I don't think I'll ever see a single video of foreigners talking about Spain without the stereotypical Flamenco music in the background. It is mostly a part of southern Spain's culture but I don't think many foreigners realize that it has absolutely nothing to do with a lot of other regions. For example in Galicia I've never seen/heard anyone singing/playing Flamenco. Here in the north west our traditional culture revolves around bagpipes and dances like the different Muiñeiras but literally never what these videos portray.

Musician, farmer, engineer and hostel business man are the same person in Spain. Humble people doing interesting things. You can find them everywhere in this world, but in the Iberian peninsula ( include Portugal aswell) the ratio is higher. I have forgotten we love surfing aswell:) Vale.

    Spain is unstable due to much invasions in the past: foenicians, romans, goths, arabians, jews, french, gypsies and more over a race base of iberians and celts, and most of those foreign races are still at war against spain.

      I am spanish, let me explain you. Over the last crisis the socialist were leading the government promising for jobs and better public education etc. But they only managed to lose jobs, as they gave you compensation for not working and companies had to pay more taxes, therefore the jobs were less paid, and people had more taxes. Overall an average family imcome could go down by 25-35% Which can be a big deal. After the boom of the crisis, people voted to right wingers and the country stabilized again, then the socialist said that he will make Spain a better country which he’ll never make, just an other crisis. Ah and by the way the right wing on the last elections had more votes, but we all know how the voting system works, so the socialist party won.
      Spain will be on crisis. Well done PSOE, for the second time.

    This vídeo is very biased. First of all, the “unstable” nature discussed by the video is mostly backed by the situation in the 2009-2012 era, in which the whiplash of the 2008 crisis caused a lot of problems. However, I see the contrary. Despite the bad economical and social situation, Spain has continuously been improving its economy and social affairs as well as continuously lowering unemployment back to 2008/09 levels, even the Catalan initial upheaval has been reduced as negotiations are undergoing.
    There is also more representation of the people’s choice and voice in Congress due to the end of bipartidism.
    I see this as signs of a constantly improving and ongoing nation, not an unstable one.

    Spain is a bit unstable because we have too many politicians and too many public administrations and semi-public companies full of the friends of the politicians, basically people whose objective is in many cases contrary to the general public interests. But on the other hand we have a very good public health service and the quality of life is I believe relatively high.
    I, as a Spaniard, would say we need more representation of the prívate sector in our politics and less sheep that do and say whatever just to keep their nice jobs.

While it is a stable nation, the people are torn between a freer market system and the alluring promises of the Socialists and unions. Courage! Do not follow France. Leadership has also been weak. Let's go Spain! You have all the resources and attractive, creative and smart people necessary to fashion a rich and prosperous nation. You have been punching below your weight! Choose economic freedom.

    It seems to me a video that is not based on objective data, that doesn't cite its sources, it gives some false information and that this type of video forces Spain to spend much more money than other countries on foreign image and international diplomacy. Spain has a defect: you can hate it or love it, it never leaves anyone or anything indifferent, but if you refuse to love it and just want to attack the image of Spain on social networks with lies and false information, try to ignore it.
