If in economic issues, the Administration is deceitful; in foreign and security policy, he prefers the ostrich style: Denial of the obvious. What makes it more serious is that the Administration does it knowing full well that we become more isolated from our partners and allies.

We are alone facing danger. This is what that entity advertised as “the government of Spain” has achieved. Download PDF

Since the death of General Francisco Franco, few times has Spain been so humiliated in such a public and blatant manner as during these days. We could find comfort in thinking that the humiliated one is our distinguished Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, but the fact is that, when it comes to the international scene, the states are the actors and the politicians are only instrumental.

The 3/11 trial shows that the government of José María Aznar never lied or concealed information to the public. On the contrary, it just shows the existence of a Socialist agitprop campaign in collusion with their media allies. Download PDF Descargar PDF

By any measure, Spain is a magnet for immigration: During the past ten years, the number of immigrants in Spain has skyrocketed nine-fold to 4.5 million; immigrants now make up a whopping ten percent of the total population of Spain, a country that for much of the last century was an exporter rather than an importer of immigrants.

Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his political spin doctors have been especially busy this summer. Indeed, they have been making furious rounds on the national television talk show circuit, trying to explain to an increasingly skeptical Spanish public just why the Socialist government’s “progressive” foreign policy of coddling third world despots has turned Spain into one of the most marginalized countries in the European Union.
