Aznar supporters call Spanish election a 'robbery'

The Guardian
Wednesday March 17, 2004

Several thousand supporters of the outgoing prime minister, José María Aznar today rallied in Madrid to protest against the Spanish general election.

The demonstrators accused the socialist prime minister-elect, José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, of exploiting last week's train bombs to win power.

"The elections were a robbery," said school student Maria Garcia, wearing stickers of Mr Aznar's Popular Party (PP) on her jacket.

"The Socialist party has exploited the subject of terrorism so that the PP would lose, after saying throughout the campaign that we shouldn't use terrorism for political purposes."
