%X Democratic Spain has made an exemplar transition from a late closed economy to a modern one with strong growing signs. Spain is standing as an example to other countries, namely Portugal who see in its progress, powered by European integration, a final product that other States can not generate. The answer to false fears and problems can only be given through a rational line that withdraws the basic emotions created by nationalisms. A rational approach will also make us understand the role the European integration has played in the political, economic and social Portuguese and Spanish development.
