Before a packed auditorium, David Ortega outlined some of the main lines of his new book, published by the URJC Publications Service and the Dykinson publishing house.
The author pointed out that the work “is highly topical and useful for understanding the political and constitutional problems that we have in Spain today.” In this sense, he added that "more political maturity is needed from the PP and the PSOE to reach the great agreements that Spain needs." Likewise, he criticized the “overrepresentation of nationalism” and its excessive influence “in our public life, damaging the general interest.” Furthermore, the professor took the opportunity to request “a press and media that is more independent of political parties and that deals with truly important issues.”
Along with Ortega, at the table were the dean of the Faculty of Legal and Political Sciences, María Enciso, the journalist José Antonio Zarzalejos and the former president of the Constitutional Court and former rector of the URJC Pedro González Trevijano.
The vice-rector of Campus Community, Culture and Sports, Mercedes Del Hoyo, who attended the event, highlighted the presence of “outstanding speakers accompanying the presentation of the book, who combined the legal vision with the journalistic vision of some of the key problems in the current public debate, such as the overrepresentation of nationalisms, and others that should be there, such as the atomization of municipalities that occurs in Spain", "If more attention were paid to this atomization, so that there were fewer, but stronger municipalities , it would be a formula to find easier solutions to problems in educational and health care and in improving social policies,” added Del Hoyo.
The book has been a success and has already sold out of its first edition, the Publications Service and Dykinson are already working on a second.
