    Spain is really going in the right direction, I wonder why no one countries inspire from what they are doing

      Looks like we’re doing this in the UK soon too.

      Except for the unsustainable immigration agenda that is turning the country into another USA.

    I really like what Spain is doing recently. If it weren't for climate change, I'd consider moving there.

      Much of Spain is indeed getting very unpleasant in the summer with climate change, but in the north there are still regions that are quite fine at the moment. Where I am, we recently beat the all time temperature record with 35 degrees, but that was a single day. Most days these weeks it isn&#x27;t going over 25, and I don&#x27;t think we hit 30 in June except for that single day and maybe one other day.<p>The problem is that the right is poised to win the next election and will probably undo all the policies you like. They&#x27;re pretty much against everything that has been done in the last 7 years. I still have some hopes that Sanchez might clinch another term because he&#x27;s a political survivor, but prospects are not great.

      The current government has little chance to get re-elected, and the next one will revert most of these decisions.

      Canary Islands are part of Spain and probably unaffected from climate change - we have 19-22°C all year round. If it raises to 25° still pretty livable.

        <p><pre><code> and probably unaffected from climate change </code></pre> No place is unaffected.

        Islands are extremely vulnerable to climate change all over, as they are completely dependent in near-term precipitation for all their water (no rivers, no aquifers).
        • littlecranky6712 minutes ago
          No rivers and no water is reality here for quite a while already. The islands rely a lot on desalination, and there is a big EU-funded project going on to create a desalination plant that not only is used to supply tap water, but the water basin of a new hydroelectric plant [0]. Desalination pretty much solves water issues, IF you have the energy (ideally renewable).<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;renewablesnow.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;construction-starts-on-200-mw3-5-gwh-pumped-storage-hydro-in-spain-773786&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;renewablesnow.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;construction-starts-on-200-mw...</a>

      You&#x27;d even like better the corruption they are trying to deflect from with their edgy foreign policy

        In the CPI Spain is not that far off from countries like France, Italy or the US and better than the global average.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.transparency.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;cpi&#x2F;2025" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.transparency.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;cpi&#x2F;2025</a><p>I&#x27;m currently living in Mexico and here corruption is a much more serious issue.
        • breppp6 minutes ago
          I am talking about the current government corruption cases, I assume Mexico is worse, but Spain isn&#x27;t great for Europe either

    Great news for Spain. I hope more European countries wake up to what&#x27;s going on.

      What on earth are you even talking about
      • moron4hire20 minutes ago
        There is a certain brand of conservative Republicans who have learned to weaponize antisemitism against Democrats. The general operating theory is that, since the Holocaust, anyone with even Jewish heritage can do no wrong (though I question the sincerity of the view).<p>Palantir&#x27;s CEO, Alex Karp, is the son of a Jewish man. I specifically say &quot;son of,&quot; because I understand Jewish heritage to be matrilineal and I don&#x27;t see Alex Karp engaging in any specifically Jewish traditions. But he does also seem to be one of the &quot;Weaponize the Holocaust&quot; Republicans. Thus, you get defenders such as this.
