La crónica personal de la etapa de Mariano Rajoy al frente del Ejecutivo.
«Ha sido un honor -no lo hay mayor- haber sido Presidente del Gobierno de España. Ha sido un honor dejar una España mejor que la que encontré.»
Esta frase no formaba parte del discurso original que Mariano Rajoy había preparado para la que iba a ser su última intervención como Presidente del Gobierno, el 1 de junio de 2018. Improvisada durante el trayecto hacia el Congreso de los Diputados y fruto de la emoción del momento, resume a la perfección el espíritu del presente libro. Una España mejor es la crónica personal de su etapa al frente del Ejecutivo y un testimonio imprescindible para entender los hechos decisivos de unos años en los que España se enfrentó a trances muy complejos como la amenaza del rescate, la abdicación del rey o la crisis catalana, asuntos que ocupan un lugar destacado en sus páginas.
«Este libro responde solo a la voluntad de contar mi historia y mis vivencias desde la responsabilidad que tenía encomendada durante unos años en los que nuestro país pudo haber quebrado, pudo haberse roto, pudo haber sufrido una severa merma en su sistema de protección social o incluso pudo haber vivido una seria crisis institucional por el relevo en la Jefatura del Estado. Todo pudo haber ocurrido, pero nada de ello sucedió. Así es como yo lo vi y como yo lo viví.». Fin de la cita.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The personal chronicle of Mariano Rajoy as Head of the Executive.
“It has been an honor - there is none greater - to have been President of the Government of Spain. It has been an honor to leave Spain better than I found it.”
This phrase was not part of the original speech that Mariano Rajoy had prepared for what was to be his last speech as President, on June 1, 2018. Improvised during the trip to the Congress of Deputies and the result of the emotions he felt at the moment, it summarizes perfectly the spirit of this book. A Better Spain is the personal chronicle of his time as Head of the Executive and an essential testimony to understand the decisive events of the years in which Spain faced very complex difficulties, such as the threats of the bailout, the abdication of the king or the Catalan crisis, matters that occupy a prominent place in the its pages.
“This book only comes about due to my wish to tell my story and my experiences based on the responsibility that I had been entrusted with for a few years in which our country could have gone bankrupt, it could have been broken, it could have suffered a severe decline in its social protection system, or it could even have experienced a serious institutional crisis due to the replacement of the Head of State. All this could have happened, but none did. This is how I saw it and how I lived it.” End of quote.
