Search every verified Thomas Rabe interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. At a May 2012 event in Spain, Thomas Rabe stated that Bertelsmann had been in Spain since 1962 and reaffirmed the company's commitment to the country, saying "Seguiremos estando en España y Seguiremos invirtiendo en España." He described the reforms being carried out by the Spanish government as necessary, but cautioned that based on German experience, such reforms take time to take effect, asking for patience. Rabe also said that Europe "no va a ser la región del mundo que más va a crecer en los próximos años" and noted that 80% of Bertelsmann's revenues came from Europe, which he cited as a reason for lower profit growth.
