3 SATISFACTION WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE ALAKRANA HIJACKING Most Spaniards, 60%, are satisfied with the outcome of the hijacking of the tuna-trawler Alakrana in waters off Somalia, compared with 34% who are not. With regard to the hijacking and release of the tuna-trawler Alakrana, are you satisfied with the outcome? Graph 1. Satisfaction at the outcome of the Alakrana hijacking Not at all 16% DK/NA 6% Very 15% Not much 18% Quite 45% Among people who vote for the Popular Party (PP), the proportion of those who are not very satisfied or not satisfied at all is 55%, 36 points lower than among those who support the Socialist Party (PSOE), 75% of whom say they are satisfied with the outcome.

4 On the other hand, 24% oppose negotiating and say force should be used if necessary. With a kidnapping of this kind, what do you think is the best thing to do? - Negotiate and pay ransom, if necessary - Do not negotiate, and use force if necessary Graph 3. The best course of action in a kidnapping DK/NA 23% Not negotiate 24% Negotiate 53% In general, the overriding idea is that the ordeal did not have a negative impact on Spain s image. One of every two Spaniards, or 61%, think that in the wake of the hijacking and release of the Alakrana, Spain s image is the same as or better than before. Only 32% feel the country s image is now worse. With the outcome of the Alakrana crisis, do you think Spain s image is better, the same, or worse than it was before? Graph 4. Is Spain s image better or worse? DK/NA 7% Better 13% Worse 32% The same 48% Whereas 65% of supporters of the PP believe Spain s image was harmed, for most PSOE backers it was not.

A total of 48% think it unlikely there will be more hijackings, but 43% feel there might be. Now that Spanish ships are going to start carrying security guards, do you think it is likely there will be more hijackings in the Indian Ocean? Graph 6. Likelihood of more hijackings Not at all 10% DK/NA 8% Very much 5% Quite 39% Not much 38% What all Spaniards do agree on with regard to the hijackings that are taking place is the need for the international anti-piracy mission in the Indian Ocean, known as Operation Atalanta. A total of 59% feel it should be extended and strengthened. Only 11% would do away with it. 5

DK/NA 24% Continue it 6% Cancel it 11% Broaden it 59% EXCELLENT ASSESSMENT OF OVERSEAS MISSIONS Right now, the Atalanta mission against piracy in the Indian Ocean is the one that receives the best evaluation from Spaniards: 55% have a positive opinion of it, as opposed to 30% who have a negative assessment. What is your opinion of the presence of Spanish troops in? - Very positive - Positive - Negative - Very negative Graph 8.

7 Twenty years after Spanish military forces began taking part in overseas missions, the vast majority of Spaniards 74% hold a very positive opinion of the role played by Spain, as opposed to only 12% who have a negative opinion. Spain is celebrating the 29th anniversary of its troops first taking part in international missions abroad. How do you assess the role they have played all these years? - Very positive - Positive - Negative - Very negative Graph 9. Role played by Spanish peacekeeping forces Very Negative: negative: 1% 12% DK/NA: 7% Very positive: 18% indifferent: 7% Positive: 56% CONCERN OVER AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN As for the mission in Afghanistan, those who advocate bringing home Spain s troops are still a minority: 41%, compared with 52% who feel the mission should continue. 7

In the case of Afghanistan 90% of those polled feel it is very or quite dangerous. The percentage drops to 83% for Lebanon, 73% for the Indian Ocean and 65% for Bosnia. How much danger is involved for Spanish troops taking part in the following missions? - A lot - Quite a bit - Little - None at all 8

Before the second round of the Afghan elections was cancelled, 70% of those interviewed felt that the elections were not decisive for the country s stability. Do you think that the new elections in Afghanistan will be decisive for stabilising the situation in that country? - Very much so - Rather - Not much - Not at all Graph 12. Will the new Afghan elections be decisive for stabilising the country? DK/NA: 11% Mucho: 2% Quite: 11% Not at all: 45% Not very: 28% The overall opinion is pessimistic: 90% feel the situation in the country is bad. 9

Will the offensive against the Taliban help stabilise Pakistan DK/NA: 22% Mucho: 2% Quite: 8% Not at all: 45% Not much: 24% Sixty-three percent feel there is a real danger of Pakistan s nuclear weapons falling into the hands of the Taliban. Do you think there is a danger of Pakistan s nuclear weapons falling into the hands of the Taliban and posing a threat for its neighbours and for the West? Graph 16. Can Pakistan s nuclear weapons fall into the hands of the Taliban? DK/NA: 16% Sí: 63% No: 21% 11
12 OBAMA S HONEYMOON The vast majority of Spaniards think their country s relations with the US are now good or very good: 71%, compared with just 3% who feel they are in a poor state. We can conclude that Spaniards now view the US as an ally, even more so than neighbouring countries such as France and Germany. This is the most important change in view ever recorded by the Barometer. How do you assess Spain s bilateral relations with these countries? Graph 17. Spain s bilateral relations US 71% France 66% Germany 62% Argentina 54% Brazil 51% Cuba 40% Morocco 36% Venezuela 36% China 35% Russia 30% Honduras 27% Turkey 24% Israel 21% Iran 10% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 12

Looking to the future, however, optimism is the dominant sentiment: one of every two interviewees says the situation will get better. And with regard to the future, will it improve, worsen or stay the same? - Improve - Worsen - Stay the same 14
15 Graph 21. Will the situation...? Get worse: 18% DK/NA: 5% Get better: 50% Stay the same: 28% If we compare this with the latest data, we observe a trend towards greater optimism, which is probably due to the Obama effect. Graph 22.

OPTIMISM OVER THE CRISIS Spaniards continue to view the international financial crisis as the biggest threat, ahead of terrorism and, trailing far behind, swine flu. In a list of possible threats to Spanish interests, which do you see as extremely grave? 16

18 Of the following four problems, which would you say worries you the most? - International terrorism - The international financial crisis - Swine flu - The situation in Afghanistan Graph 25. Most worrying problem Sw ine flu: 8% Afghanistan: 4% None: 1% All: 3% DK/NA: 2% International terrorism: 22% Financial crisis: 61% However, all signs are that the opinion trend with regard to the crisis is changing, since 53% of Spaniards now think the economic situation is improving, compared with just 17% who feel it is getting worse. How would you say the international financial crisis is going: is it improving, getting worse? Graph 26. The financial crisis is...? Worsening: 18% DK/NA: 4% Mejora: 53% The same: 25% 18
19 THE SPANISH EU PRESIDENCY OF 2010 The fight against the crisis is the goal that Spaniards see as the top priority for the Spanish EU Presidency in the first six months of Spain has proposed a series of goals for its EU Presidency in What do you think of these issues? - Gender equality - Strengthening relations with the US - Addressing the financial crisis Graph 27.

20 The Spanish Presidency stirs more interest than other events in 2010, such as the British general elections or the World Cup in South Africa, even though football is hugely popular in Spain. These events will take place in 2010: can you tell me which interests you most? - The World Cup in South Africa - The Spanish EU Presidency - The Holy Year of Saint James - The British general elections Graph 29.

21 Graph 30. Should Madrid bid for the 2020 Olympic Games? No: 25% DK/NA: 7% Yes: 68% SCEPTICISM OVER INTERNATIONAL REACTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE Global warming is one of the international problems that worry Spaniards most. For 56%, it is a very serious problem. However, before Obama announced he would get more involved in the issue, Spaniards were wary of how much of a priority the problem was for world leaders. A total of 63% thought that at the climate change summit in Copenhagen measures to fight the problem would be put off. A climate-change summit will soon be held. Do you think measures to address the problem will be taken immediately, or that they will be postponed? Graph 31. Result of the climate-change summit Nothing is achieved: 8% DK/NA: 11% Inmediatamente: 16% Ni una cosa ni la otra: 4% Postponed: 63% 21
