Abstract

The economic crisis is a very complex reality that experience different countries of the European Union. And it is that, because of its consequences, especially the unemployment and the increase of the public deficit, distinct countries have had to resort to the financial rescue. In the present work, we analyse the political language of the President of the Government of Spain during the starts of the crisis in 2008, to observe the evolution of the leadership and of the speech of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero from the constructivism.
