Spain — one of the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus — has begun a push for a more coordinated global response
Spain — one of the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus with more than 16,000 dead — has begun a push for a more coordinated global response to the pandemic.
Spain is also worried that Europe and American efforts to fight the virus will be undercut by a patchy response in Africa, the Middle East and South America. “It's in our interest that we support countries like Iran or Venezuela, irrespective of the nature of the regimes,” Cabanas said, adding that “health is a public good that we should all preserve all over the world.”
The Spanish government has been critical of the attitudes of governments in northern Europe including the Netherlands, for their refusal to issue joint bonds to fund EU-wide pandemic responses. EU governments instead settled Thursday night on a system of around $600 billion in emergency credit, that will be made available to governments to support unemployment payments, business loans and other pandemic costs. “Nobody's completely happy with it,” admitted Cabanas.
