You might know that every six months, a different EU country holds the presidency of the Council of the EU. Practically, this means they organise the meetings of the countries’ leaders and suggest the areas in which they would like the EU to progress. On the 1st of July it is Spain’s turn to do so.
Spain has set four priority areas under the motto "Europe, closer":
- reindustrialising Europe
- making progress on ecological transition
- social and economic justice
- strengthening European unity
