Mark Nayler: The state of play | Sur in English (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Strasbourg on Wednesday, Ursula von der Leyen gave the State of the Union address, an annual event in which the president of the EU Commission describes how things are going and how they should go in the future. As well as the usual scattering of platitudes and statements of the staggeringly obvious, this year’s hour-long speech contained a very surprising suggestion, a couple of good ideas, and a futile call for the EU to unify in support of Spain over the Ceuta disaster. First, the silly pa
Mark Nayler: Grand tour | Sur in English (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Touring the capitals of Europe sounds like an unbeatable way to spend three weeks, the stuff of travel dreams, a bucket-list experience - but not if you’re António Costa. Since beginning in the Slovakian capital of Bratislava on 25 August, the Portuguese President of the European Council has been on his annual “Tour des Capitales”, engaged in what is surely one of the hardest tasks in politics: trying to secure consensus from the leaders of 27 countries over the bloc’s next seven-year budget.

According to the report, 110 million tourists will be visiting Spain annually by then, five million more than will head to second-placed France. The study also forecasts that the total number of tourism arrivals globally will increase from 1.5 billion to 2.4 billion over the same period. The largest proportion of those new trips, almost 40 per cent, will be to European destinations. As a tenn
Mark Nayler: Mixed messages | Sur in English (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Defending Spain against criticism from the EU leadership and other Euro governments over the Ceuta crisis depended on one key element of its stance - namely, consistency. So long as Pedro Sánchez stood firm on sending the migrants back to Morocco, any claims he was transmitting the wrong message over illegal immigration (i.e. a dangerously, indiscriminately welcoming one) could be rejected. As late as 13 August, two weeks after the mass arrivals in the north African enclave, Spain’s interior min
