The Diplomat
The third session of the Diplomatic Club, held last Wednesday and organised by Prestomedia and its newspaper, The Diplomat in Spain, focused on the autonomous communities, an aspect of Spanish politics that arouses considerable interest among foreign diplomats.
Under the title ‘Administrative Organisation in Spain: Autonomous Communities’, the sociologist, political scientist, institutional advisor and manager of the latest transfers from the State to the communities, Joan Navarro Martínez, explained the foundations of this political system, its origins and its functioning.
With the director of the European Observatory for the Analysis and Prevention of Disinformation, Asela Pintado, as moderator, the ambassadors in attendance asked numerous questions about this political system, which is hardly comparable to any other in the world, and its peculiarities.
The 4th Session of the Diplomatic Club will take place after Easter at the Dry Martini (Calle Ferraz, 2) and will focus on Cybersecurity and Defence.
The Diplomatic Club, inaugurated on 13 December at the exclusive Dry Martini (Calle Ferraz, 2), organises regular sessions on different aspects of Spain’s political, economic and social life. Ambassadors have the opportunity to maintain direct contact with members of the Government, companies, representatives of the world of culture and civil society in a relaxed atmosphere away from the media spotlight, as the meetings are held under the Chatham House rule.
The aim of the Diplomatic Club is to create and strengthen links between foreign embassies accredited in Spain and prominent economic, political and cultural actors.
