On July, Thursday 14 and Friday 15, 2016 at the European University Miguel de Cervantes in Valladolid (Spain) we celebrate the summer course “The values of Spanish Transition to Democracy, Today”. Its director is Miguel Ángel Quintana Paz and its deputy directors are Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo and Arcadi Espada.
This course tries to underscore the validity for our current problems, as Spaniards, of the spirit that made Spanish Transition to democracy possible 40 years ago. Among its participants are José María Fidalgo, Hermann Tertsch, Jorge Bustos, Santiago González, Teresa Giménez Barbat, Enrique Calvet, Andrés González, Antonio R. Naranjo, Fernando de Haro and Ignacio Gomá. Inaugurated by the mayor of Valladolid, Óscar Puente, and the President of our University, Imelda Rodríguez Escanciano, the closing ceremony is chaired by the Deputy President of the Parliament of Castile-and-Leon, Ramiro Ruiz Medrano, and the President of the University.
