Lorenzo Marsili: Over the last couple of years Spain has been a place of inspiration for all of Europe. However, while Spain is very present in European debates, Europe seems very absent in Spanish debates. Do you agree with this view?
Jorge Moruno: Europe is actually talked about in Spain, but as if it were something of an external actor, embodied by Angela Merkel, the Troika and the suffering caused by the austerity measures. Europe appears in headlines such as "Brussels demands further budget cuts" or in news about Brexit, the refugee crisis, the growth of hate speech, the never ending tragedy of immigrants in the Mediterranean, and so on.
