The MEP and Co-President of the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly (EuroLat) of the European Parliament, Ram\u00f3n J\u00e1uregui Atondo, has defended Europe and Latin America joining together in his opening speech as member of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste, \u201cin the defence of reason and rationality of the responsibility towards citizens, and the democratic and humanist values that both continents share in order for them to progress\u201d. J\u00e1uregui received the Yuste academic medal in a ceremony held today in the presidency of the Government of Extremadura in the course of a ceremony chaired by the president of the Government of Extremadura, Guillermo Fern\u00e1ndez Vara.<\/p>\n
The new academic pointed out that he has tried to contribute to the goal of this union throughout his life, and although the distance was an obstacle up until recently, it is possible nowadays because students, teachers, start-ups, tourism or literature \u201cturn the two continents into two closer worlds that we are more capable of defending those values together that we believe in.\u201d On this matter, he said, \u201cI always said that Latin America is Europe’s best strategic partner, and Europe is a loyal friend of Latin America.\u201d<\/p>\n
J\u00e1uregui Atondo expressed his \u201cpride and honour\u201d of occupying Stefan Zweig’s chair in the Academy of Yuste, and acknowledged that the proposal arrived at a special time in his life because he was making plans for his institutional retirement after 40 years of \u201csuffering in the front line of that fierce trench which is too often the party line as well as institutional politics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Co-President of EuroLat highlighted that his love for Latin America was \u201clate but full of maturity and emotions,\u201d and named some of these such as the kindness of Latin American people; the strength and the dignity they have for bearing poverty or bad governments; the firmness of their convictions regarding justice and democracy, and the magic of their writers.<\/p>\n
Finally, Ram\u00f3n J\u00e1uregui highlighted that the link between the European Union and Central America goes beyond the collaboration and being commercial and economic partners, \u201cwe are joined by five centuries of communal history, a culture and some languages that crossed the Atlantic which returned enriched with new words and accents.\u201d On this matter, he paid homage to the writer Stefan Zweig – his predecessor as a Yuste academic in the academy. Zweig, born in Austria-Hungary in 1881, and died in Petr\u00f3polis, Brazil in 1942, was a Jewish writer, biographer and social activist from Austria who left an inhabitable Europe behind to settle in America in order to keep thinking and writing, until he took his own life six months later after arriving to Brazil. Ram\u00f3n J\u00e1uregui explained that Zweig devoted himself to the idea of a culturally united Europe, and the search of world peace, but these didn’t materialise, which led him to take his own life. He explained that he chose the name of this writer due to \u201chis Europeanism, for being persecuted, for being a writer and for his anti-fascism,\u201d and added that his memory was, and is, an alarm signal \u201cbefore a world which doesn’t find its order, peace nor balance,\u201d and less so with the return of authoritarianisms and the new outbreak of nationalisms.<\/p>\n
Ram\u00f3n J\u00e1uregui was named academic of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation on 30th July 2018 by the foundation’s Board of Trustees. Both the European side and the Ibero-American side of the Yuste Academy are strengthened due to this designation. J\u00e1uregui is a man with an extensive career and has carried out important posts, highlighting his commitment in the European integration process and his work for strengthening bridges and links between Europe and Latin America to make progress in a shared agenda regarding the large communal challenges in both regions.<\/p>\n
For her part, the Ibero-American Secretary General and Yuste academic, Rebeca Grynspan, referred to Ram\u00f3n J\u00e1uregui as a man who incorporates \u201cinclusive identities\u201d, as opposed to one identity excluding another, as he is from San Sebastian, Guipuzcoa, the Basque Country, Spain, Europe and Ibero-America. In this sense, Grynspan highlighted the \u201crelentless commitment\u201d that he has had with Europe, Ibero-America and Extremadura.<\/p>\n
Finally, the president of the Government of Extremadura, Guillermo Fern\u00e1ndez Vara, claimed during his intervention that \u201cthe world needs more room for thought, and less of the shouting,\u201d which is why the Europe and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste is a \u201cmagnificent instrument of collective reflection, and we feel proud to have it\u201d.<\/p>\n
The ceremony was also attended by diplomat, politician, Yuste academic and Carlos V European Award winner, Marcelino Oreja, former president of the Government of Extremadura and Yuste academic, Juan Carlos Rodr\u00edguez Ibarra and ex-president of the European Parliament, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Gil-Robles, among other authorities.<\/p>\n
