THE FOREIGN ACTIO OF GALICIA AFTER FORTY YEARS OF AUTONOMY STATUTE

Abstract

Since the adoption of the Statute of Autonomy, the Galician Autonomous Community has faced the responsibility of drawing up and developing its own external action strategy in accordance with its interests, taking advantage of all the minimum and maximum possibilities of developing political autonomy, despite the limited statutory provisions in this regard. This external action has been enhanced by the European, Atlantic, and cross-border dimension of Galicia. In this context, the development phases of the Galician External Action have followed an ascending and well-defined line. The consolidated constitutional jurisprudence and the new state legislation on external action of the State and on treaties of 2014 came to endorse and justify an advance in the planning dynamics of the external action of our Autonomous Community, constituting the Law 10/2021, regulating the action external affairs and cooperation for the development of Galicia a significant step.
