There have been demonstrations in Spain against the Socialist party... As reported by SF Gate: bq. Thousands of protesters accused Spain's new prime minister of being "the president of al-Qaida" in demonstrations Wednesday to support the defeated party of outgoing leader Jose Maria Aznar. And more: bq. "Zapatero, president of al-Qaida," "Zapatero with terrorism" and "Zapatero resign," they chanted. bq. The protesters dispersed about 30 minutes after the Popular Party's defeated candidate, Mariano Rajoy, appeared and applauded at a balcony. Realization of what just happened there is starting to sink in and some people do not like it... Good! Posted by DaveH at March 17, 2004 1:06 PM
