In the CPI Spain is not that far off from countries like France, Italy or the US and better than the global average. https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2025 I'm currently living in Mexico and here corruption is a much more serious issue.

I am talking about the current government corruption cases, I assume Mexico is worse, but Spain isn't great for Europe either

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.

Edit: not sure what the downvotes are. Burnham literally said he’ll do it today.

The made up cases are so many that they deflect each other and the few real ones. The real scandal is the state of our judicial power.

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

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

It could be worse can only take a government so far. Eventually, just preaching to the choir catches up with you.

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.

It isn't that simple, Canary Islands already counts with 2.2 million + tourists people and the fresh water is a highly risk resource even when desalinization plants are widespread, the groundwater aquifers are severely compromised. The mild weather heavily depends on the trade winds. But models predict that due to fact of being so close to Africa heat waves are prone to be more and more frequent compromising the water resources.

It seems in current discourse, turning a European country into another USA is a compliment.

I think the immigration is what keeps Spain from turning into another Japan or Germany - a stagnant, overly old place stuck in time.
