Morning finally meets the President of the Kingdom of Spain in Washington with top leaders of the planet Earth. Dome with which incidentally Zapatero does not have many, either very good relations, capitalist countries whose representatives of the department of external Spanish has ignored or overlooked in the best case. In other cases, people may speak directly disregard.

Sarkozy has new pet. The journey takes with him and draws a walk. It's very docile, but sometimes it proves. But Nicolas always have time to the collar of punishment.
The Band, Canal Sur 2: expansion of socialist theory on the crisis
It can be expected from a government which defends their accusations as the best known, that somehow always justify their weaknesses or highlight the virtues of his homeland. But it is also awaiting a government that works for visibly fix problems and never put into play the economies of their governed by a whim.
Since a few weeks ago here, and after that to the current economic phenomena in Spain they can call officially crisis, has been listening to the four winds that caused the crisis in our country is the United States and / or its economic policy .
But in addition to my surprise (but not too departs from the norm), even as I found yesterday explained why the crisis in a children's program of Canal Sur 2. Undoubtedly explained very broadly, but was left well clear that the problem came from the other side of the Atlantic. And this has already merited some comment on this blog that I will try to schematize as much as possible.

CIS poll of May 2008
As usual, as they spoke of the CIS's surveys in the media, and what little data are analyzed. With what was like everybody appoint percentages, here I am pleased with some.
Some broad findings:
- in May, despite many subsequent events, and there was a sense of crisis generalized
- the voters themselves socialists do not believe the premises for optimistic Zapatero regarding the crisis, and that 47% of respondents voted for it and more than 88% think the situation is fair, poor or very poor, and 45% said that will go to worse.
- hence the new forms of "tense" due to economic pessimism and attributed to the People's Party, are not such as the voters themselves socialists think alike.
- Further, only 22% of respondents believe that Spain has much weight or fairly in Europe. Which means that at least half of the respondents who voted for the PSOE think that Spain has little influence or anything in Europe.

The big challenge - updated
The only conclusion that can be reached through the undeniable status of political uproar, is that politicians and their ways of making policies do not work. The search for the blind sympathizer sight to the true motives that are the raison d'être a politician, who is to serve the general interest. Does not serve the general interest.
Following the recent, and Application-announced national congress of the Popular Party, following the riots that water should have taken their course, that opens a much more difficult challenge of the game that already had before. Mariano Rajoy has had the unique opportunity to prove to be a leader, was able to redirect the entire line of strategy and has been able to justify the change. Because of all the bad change and / or renovation has not been where he is rude, or who has been an integral renewal. The downside of this change is that apparently, and according to the official speeches, this change has been unjustified. Continue reading "The big challenge - updated '

Today, few moments ago has ended, has been held the first and long awaited debate among the leading candidates for President of the Government of Spain. Good night and good luck, were the last words of the candidate who closed the debate, Zapatero. That closure has come to me I had dismissed, almost as if to sound and we will be another time and we will be a season without seeing.
Anyway, I do not like to speak in debates of winners and losers. They are not football matches, in addition to this are the elections, which then in any case can give winners and losers are the votes, and sometimes neither the votes either. Right now blog, news, talk shows, radio and television are doing their detailed analysis of all aspects of debatientes, but I want to do an analysis broadly, because if you speak to some winning all the readers of this blog think and know that My opinion is conditional, and so is, like that of many others.
Both have tried to bring the discussion to their land, their subjects strong. Rajoy has called Zapatero to explain some questions, which of course has not answered explicitly, but Zapatero has not launched questions to Rajoy.
The debate has highlighted by the data, data were available for all sites, but have proved most basic and the nearby offered Rajoy.
One thing that deserves a deeper analysis is the price of housing. If houses go up, or before boarding according commented Zapatero, is a sign that people have purchasing power to buy and pay. If the house goes up now, is a sign of people can not buy, and there is too much supply. Therefore I do not know whether it is better to let them ascend the houses, or it may be more alarming than they fall.
Continuously made comparisons to the past. Made allusions to previous legislatures of the party's opponent, and have names sounded Aznar, Acebes, Gonzalez, War ... and repeatedly mentioned the Iraq war and ETA. They have also been used endorsements absurd, in my view, of Sabina and Serrat.
Zapatero has been slower, slower, sometimes almost murmured, appeared to try to sleep Rajoy, appeasement. But Rajoy has been decided, I knew what to say and how to speak, did not hesitate and was quiet on the floor of Zapatero, watching him and addressed.
Zapatero was the first to interrupt Rajoy in a speech several times consecutively, as a pink press, and then you both have been interrupted.
On the mouth of the President of the Government of Spain have rarely heard the name of the Kingdom. Only in the last few blocks, and when referring to foreign policy, Zapatero mentioned the word Spain.
Rajoy has repeatedly accused of lying to his opponent.
Zapatero is the one who has responded or more times has appeared on screen with denying the head, who also has also been more times has exceeded his time.
In general, Zapatero has been able to close the turns of speech, but his appearance has been contained, seemed to need the size of a lectern at a rally. By contrast Rajoy has sat and has appeared comfortable after some time, has since revealed that the graphics elaborated.
The debate has taken too narrow a format, a simple exchange of shifts with limited time to discuss issues very wide, allowing easy as it wanted to dodge.
It has been a debate that was without reproach penalties nothing to speak of election programs, but this is only the opinion of one who would win to Rajoy.
