Road To Recovery: Spain PM promises fresh reforms
Rajoy has consistently vowed to preserve the unity of Spain as it recovers from six years of economic crisis.
MADRID:
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Saturday promised fresh reforms to boost Spain’s economic recovery and warned he would continue to resist the drive for independence of the Catalonia region.
Responding to calls for constitutional reform to answer Catalan separatists’ demands, Rajoy vowed that his conservative Popular Party would ward off any threat to the unity of Spain and tried to shift the focus to the tentative economic recovery.
“What Spain needs now is more economic and social reforms to improve people’s lives and overcome the crisis definitively and there will be more,” he said, also promising further anti-corruption measures, without elaborating.
