Greater presence in Brussels: a new partnership between 'Agenda Pública' and Prensa Ibérica to increase Spain's international influence

Agenda Pública and Prensa Ibérica, Spain's leading regional and local press group, launch a key alliance at a crucial moment: we will drive meaningful debates in Brussels that can help establish European leadership during this decisive geopolitical period. Through regular public events in the EU capital, we'll create discussion forums and build a community of global decision-makers, bringing together entrepreneurs, civil society and Spanish institutions. This represents a major milestone in Spain's media landscape—a partnership between Agenda Pública, the leading voice in public policy analysis, and Prensa Ibérica.

The Agenda Pública and Prensa Ibérica alliance in Brussels was unveiled at the Mediterranean Economic and Social Forum in Málaga. The announcement came during a panel discussion moderated by Marc López Plana, editor and director of Agenda Pública, and Albert Sáez, Prensa Ibérica's director-general of content. The session featured Javier Colomina, the most senior Spaniard in NATO's hierarchy—deputy assistant secretary-general and the organisation's special representative for the Southern Neighbourhood. This event encapsulates perfectly our alliance's core mission: strengthening ties between Spain, international institutions and Spain's global role. 

"We're facing a geopolitical moment that will prove decisive. Spain and Spanish citizens cannot afford to ignore this."

This new alliance builds on Agenda Pública's existing efforts to boost Spain's international profile. We're already doing this through our Agenda Pública EU section, which features leading Spanish MEPs including Javi López, European Parliament vice-president, Adrián Vázquez (PP), Hana Jalloul (PSOE) and Antonio López-Istúriz (PP). We've also held wide-ranging discussions with globally influential entrepreneurs, researchers, and politicians such as Romano Prodi, Uljan Sharka, Kevin Limonier, Iratxe García, Wolfgang Schmidt, María Corina Machado, Thierry Breton and Nadia Calviño. Our goal is to champion Spain's global vision whilst bringing crucial international debates to Spanish public attention.

The European Union and the wider world are experiencing a decisive geopolitical moment. Spain and its citizens cannot stand on the sidelines. Through this alliance, we aim to shape and drive the crucial debates in Brussels that can address economic and social challenges. We're committed to liberal democracy and European values, with a clear ambition to cement Spain's international leadership.
