InternationalTerrorism

Texto

"Terrorism".- Terrorism is a direct threat to the life and security of citizens; it aims to undermine our democratic institutions and jeopardises our vital and strategic interests, infrastructures, supplies and critical services. There are elements which make our country the target of international terrorism: its relative closeness to unstable regions like the Sahel, where failed States are conducive to criminal actions and the spread of violent extremism; the possible radicalisation of both first- and second-generation emigrants settled in Spain or in countries belonging to our cultural environment; the insistence of Islamic fundamentalist groups on presenting Spain as part of the imaginary of Islam; and our firm involvement in fighting terrorism inside and outside national territory.
