Having just return from Madrid (before the terrorist attacks), it was
with amazement but not with suprise that the Partido Popular didn't
win. They have a real voting base in Madrid, but it was the terrorist
bombings that that did them in. Aznar and his Interior Minister Aceres
immediately insisted that it was ETA: A political ploy to get back at
the Basque group for refusing to participate in the upcoming
elections. (If you remember, it was some time before the Bush
administration admitted that Al Qaeda was responsible for 9-11.)
Unfortunately, the move backfired when the arrests of the the three
Moroccans and two Hindus were announced.
Politics aside, here in PR we monitored the three main Spanish outlets
we receive: Antena 3, Television Espan~ola, and Radio Exterior de
Espan~a.

Just for future reference, the ñ (at least on Windoze machines) is obtained
by the following: alt0241 (don't think I'm just being a wise-ass, I have
to keep looking it up on my character map whenever I want to use it... )
