1. actually if Aznar had been running it would have been close. The PP, popular party ran his succesor, Rajoy, an extremely bellicose, elitist and very uncharismatic politician. The vote in Spain was the lowest turnout since Franco died. Only 77% of the eligible voters showed up. All time low. Pathetic ain´t it.
2. Your son surely speaks better Spanish than I do but I don´t talk English too good neither. His experience in Spain, good or bad as it was, can´t really have been anything but a spanish speaking Americans brief impression. No matter where you´re from, 1 year in a foreign country is far too little time to be any sort of authority.
Generally the Morroquis that enter Europe through España do the shit work that the Spanish don´t want. Picking fruit. Washing dishes. Lots and lots of illegal plentiful construction work. Dangerous scaffolding 6 floors up. 600 bucks a month. 12 hours a day. The Arabs and Pakistanis flipped when they learned I was an American lugging buckets of cement all day. But. I didn´t have work papers either and I had to eat.
Basically they do what the latin Americans are doing in your neighborhood. Working 2 shit jobs you don´t want, living with 8 people in a 2 bdrm. apt. and sending money home to support family.
and 1. DVDs and CDs are total Chinese Mafias. They hire some Pakistanis for the streetsales but no, definately not an Arab scam.
2. I´ve seen quite a few muggings in my time in many parts of the world. Especially in America. That must mean most muggers are American.
3. They sell drugs. I know. I buy them. Best hashish in the world round here. I´d only be upset if they sold garbage. Vodka tonic for you and a joint for me. Cannibis is not a real heavy concern of most informed folk.
It´s also worthy of noting that almost all the 9/11 bombers were Saudis. Yet Bush went after Iraq.
So anyway if Aznar had been running he might have won. I doubt it. It was nonetheless a pretty obvious rejection of his partys politics.
I´d be interested to see what you can show me about the general dislike of Morrocans here. Apart from your well spoken spanish son and his friends.
I think maybe you should realize that reading the UK press and analyzing the figures really does not give you any sort of understanding of a country and the mindset. Shit, sure wouldn´t work for the US would it? Te deseo mucho suerte.
