“The crisis here is very deep and Zapatero, although having most of the media in his side, is losing elections.”

I spoke just yesterday with colleagues in Malaga and Almunecar who said the exact same thing. They, by the way, have been supportive of the government’s refusal to recognize Kosovo though not out of any sense of anti-Americanism but rather because they view the KLA as a successful Balkan version of ETA.

That is the version sold by the government here, however, the Basque region where ETA mainly operates is the richest region of Spain, acting the terrorist group simply as an armed branch of its oligarchy: in the end, the people there do not want independence, but our money.
