Talking and pledging is very easy but governing is slightly more difficult, the policy reforms that we've implemented have worked, and backtracking would be a blunder. When I see that, with the help of Podemos, the Socialists wants to change everything we've done, I just think it's bad for Spain.

The worst thing a government can do now in Spain is to do nothing.

I am in favor of reducing all budget items. But the item I don't want to reduce is the pension expenditure because it affects the weakest part of society.

There are countries that are near ours which are in the situation which we all know. I want to say that this is not the case of Spain now and it will not be in the future.

Spain is finding it very difficult to finance itself with sovereign debt risk premium so high.

The main target for the next years should be growth and job creation.
