[FR] Referendums in other countries: Spain

Seminar organised by Notre Europe in collaboration with the Real Instituto Elcano at the Maison de l’Europe in Paris on 31 January 2005

With Spain’s first ever referendum on a European issue fast approaching, Notre Europe, in collaboration with the Real Instituto d’Elcano, invited two academics and two politicians involved in the campaign to discuss this issue, which has implications far beyond Spain’s borders. Indeed, much more than a simple plebiscite whose outcome would depend solely on the turnout, the Spanish referendum is launching a series of referendums in Europe and, as such, constitutes a first test whose results will be instructive for all states that have chosen the referendum route.
