Politics & Power Quote by Xavier Espot Zamora

There’s a careful pragmatism baked into Espot Zamora’s line: it treats climate policy less like a moral crusade than a governance problem that has to survive contact with budgets, coalitions, and borders. The phrase “It’s for this reason” gestures to a prior argument (economic vulnerability, alpine ecosystems, energy security) without restating it, a classic political move that signals logic while keeping the message portable. You can drop it into a summit speech, a parliamentary debate, or a press interview and it still sounds anchored.

The real work happens in the pairing of “internationally” and “nationally”. For a small state like Andorra, climate change is the kind of issue that exposes the limits of sovereignty: emissions, supply chains, and weather systems don’t respect borders, yet voters demand local action they can see. By naming both arenas, Espot Zamora is staking a claim to relevance. It’s a way of saying: we’re not just a spectator to big-power decisions; we will show up, align, and negotiate. And at home, we’ll translate that posture into policy that looks like competence rather than sacrifice.

“Made…one of our main goals” is deliberately managerial, not fiery. The subtext is political risk management: climate becomes a “goal” you can measure, fund, and report on, which helps defuse backlash and invites coalition partners (business, tourism, infrastructure) to treat decarbonization as planning, not ideology. The sentence is built to reassure: we’re committed, but we’re sane about it.
