I strongly believe the EU should aim for greater self-sufficiency in energy and basic goods. Doing so not only boosts innovation and job creation within the union but also ensures resilience against global supply chain disruptions. A proactive state can lead this transition, investing in sustainable technologies and fostering collaborations that drive long-term economic growth.

I believe that allowing Spanish companies to defer taxes when they are owed more in VAT refunds is a practical measure. It can boost liquidity and stimulate economic activity by allowing businesses to invest and grow rather than struggle with immediate cash flow issues.
