In Zapatero's presentation today in front of the European Parliament, a brave Anglo-spanish politician called Marta Andreasen gives him a good beating!
see YouTube.
Go Marta!

Well done Marta Wonder if the Spanish media will report it!

Well done that lady. I believe she means what she says. I also love the look on Zapatero´s face

Well done!

Let´s hope this gives a little hope to those who have or are going to loose their homes.

I bet I don´t see too much about it on spanish TV though.

Good girl I'll be watching the news to see if this gets any airtime.

It was on the local news but not that bit, only his own speech!

Bolitics is ruled by votes, until Brits start to change the political climate within Spain Senora Zapatero won't give it much attention.

Relampago

He doesn't know how to direct a country, is a shit of president, the worst thing since the democracy...And this asshole is now president in the European Parliament? My mother, what shame!

Of course all the first five of you wouldn't be DM readers would you!!!
Get a life. Consider the alternative.
Maybe you really want to return to the days of Franco!

agoreira

Perhaps you could explain that, I can't see that it has anything to do with what has been discussed.
Franco? Is that the only alternative available? I think you'll find he's still dead. Are there no other parties, no other politicians available?

I much prefer Zapatero to the slimy Aznar who was just a US wannabe - how I laughed when Georgie W mis-pronounced his name

I agree that ZP hasnt been strong enough regarding the economy, Spain has lacked leadership and creative ideas. But I applaud his social policies and the way Spain has made progress on road mortality, green energy, gender and gay rights

I think its a rite of passage that some people have to go through to demonstrate their superiority.

Not sure whether the DM they are referring to is the one with the charitable "Old Codger" team or the one that has been in the forefront of revealing many of the unfair practises that have been visited upon many British home purchasers.

Given time though some of them do grow out of it.

ZP is getting a knocking just like Gordon. Whoever was in power during this crisis would be as popular as herpes.

Ask yourself this, would the other side be any better? I bet that would be a resounding NO.

Aznar had his tongue so far up Bush's *rse that he could actually see Tony Blair.
