With the UK out, there’s a space in Europe for a new country to enter the unofficial ‘top 3’. In this video we outline why Spain could be the one to fill the gap; running through the leadership, policies & lack of euro-skepticism.

Too much optimistic. The Spanish economy is a hollow shell. The country lives on tourism, sun, sand, paella and sangria. Industry? Some in decadence in the Basque Country and Catalonia, my own country. And we have a capital city artificially swollen, Madrid just consumes and exports nothing. We will see how long the mirage lasts.

I would not discount Italy; I mean they are now under a new "strong" management. Germany, Italy and Spain could even make a call to Japan and revive the old band!

A decade ago the U.K. was a major player in the EU. Then due to the stupidity of Johnson and Farage, we are now an isolated sardine 20 miles from where the action is.

Something else which hasn't been mentioned with regards to Spain: With the exception of Morocco, there's a hell of a lot less antagonism towards it from African countries, which means more willingness to cooperate.
Even now, France still insists on treating former colonies as such.
And it's not a bad thing to have a divers leadership and less of a monopoly on France and Germany's part.

Being French, I'd first like to stress out the UK never was a leader in Europe. Leadership requires power, which FR, DE, ITA, SP and UK have, and a strong political will which was totally lacking in the UK when it came to Europe. France and Germany on the other hand have been pushing for their agendas for a long time.
Now France and Germany face systemic problem (Germany lack of economic diversity, terrible energy, low digitization and aging population, France faces structural society issues like racism and democracy limits, weak economic and rising inequalities) I agree there is room for new top players and more democracy. Let's see how emerges 🙂

Is this a joke? Spain is still one of the highest in receiving EU BENEFITS just to survive. It's richest region around Madrid is nearly equal in average salaries to the poorest area of south Italy, Calabria and the unemployment rate is second only to Greece. It's in none of the major world organizations, Italy is in every one including G7 and the 3rd highest NET CONTRIBUTOR to the EU.

As a spaniard, the main reason why I'm pro-EU is that I prefer to be governed by european politics than by spanish ones. They are literally, the worse.

Note that Spain does not recognize the sanctions against Venezuela and Cuba by the U.S and its allies so I give them credit for that and even though Spain did once have them as subjects now they're opening their arms again not as conquerors, but as friends. China and Russia obviously will never understand the Latin culture but Spain does compared between Spain versus China and Russia. Which is why Spain is more friendly towards the Latin American countries than the us or its allies and China and Russia will not see these countries as equals the longer that they're there they'll see them as subjects. And I have seen Cuban and Venezuelans even traveling to Spain so it shows how much Spain does not want to isolate it's fellow Latin Nations across in the New World. Spain does have the potential of being the one who bridges the gap between Europe and South America and the Caribbean.

That's a highly optimistic view. Pedro Sanchez is wasting lots of money from the contributers (tax hell) and meanwhile lots of people in spain (youngsters in particular) are piss poor.
Many young people in Spain (or poorer people) can't even afford a car, and go with an electric motorized scooter, so embarassing and sad.
PS: I'm catalan, i know what's going on. Spain = power? Sounds like a bit of a joke honestly

Considering the quality of your videos it's quite strange to see obvious mistakes like saying "Africa" instead of "Latin America" or "Euro" instead of "Dollar". Maybe you should incorporate your graphic department into your script writing.

Sabotage in the own countries leads doesn't make other countries better . You can stretch an object , but it will remain the same object and won't change , no matter the force and suppression . Changing and rearranging doesn't work .

In my opinion nobody should being the leader of EU. the problem of EU is that a country control all the others. So for this reason the EU is a failure. I see a good EU future in a regions way. So bavaria, lombardy, cataluna, etc.

I'm not sure Spain is interested in "emerging" like that. Spain has emerged long time ago in variables that, those countries obsessed with only one variable (GDP) have missed. This eternal economic and influence competition is absurd.
Spain is interested in life. It's a country to actually live a good, healthy, and happy life. A country interested in non-rushed friendly relations with other countries alike.
Some sufficient defense capabilities, and that's it. Leave the race and competition to others that seem obsessed with that.

I think there should be a video on Spain and the conquences of the result of the forthcoming general election.
This is very likely to have an impact on Catalunya if PP and VOX form a majority government.
Cries and calls for catalan independence is likely to happen again and this time as a consequence of the war in Ukrainine russia may recognise catalan independence supporter by china and eu support for issues over Tawain.
