Stuck In The Past

The removal of Patxi Garbantzu's statue from its location in Madrid has produced some interesting reactions.

And lack of reaction also, like the US media and the US based bloggers not really making any comments about quite a few lunatics clinging to a dark past. Just try to imagine something like this going on in Germany.

Then there is the words by the PP big wigs, that can move to laughter and sorrow depending in which mood you are.

Example:

"the most radical government in (Spain's) democratic history"
- Eduardo Zaplana, spokesman for the PP, refering to Rodriguez Zapatero.

"to reopen wounds and foment rancour among Spaniards."
- Eduardo Zaplana, spokesman for the PP.

"In 1978 we all made an effort to look forward and not back and Franco is dead ... These things are done to play to the gallery,"
- Mariano Rajoy, former PM Candidate for the PP.

Hopefully the Israeli Ambassador to Spain is listening to these pearls of wisdom from the PP worms, not too long ago a Rabbi was presenting José María Aznar with a Statesman Award.

What I would give to be a fly on the wall of a certain place in Barcelona, to see the "liberal blogger" mourning over the removal of the statue in Madrid.
