Saying goodbye to prescription queues! THE electronic prescription system should be in place throughout Alicante province by mid-September. This will be warmly welcomed by patients with a chronic health condition who need repeat prescriptions. In the past, they received three monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prescriptions at a time but then spending cuts on health began to hit home. Since then they have had to queue, sometimes interminably, for one prescription at a time at their Health Centre reception desk. All patients now receive a printed sheet from their primary care doctor which they then take with their SIP health card to the chemist, who fills the prescription. For repeat prescriptions, dates are set out when patients should return for more medication.

PRESCRIPTIONS: Straight to the chemist will save time. Surveys amongst patients now using the system all gave it the thumbs up. Eighty-two per cent felt that it was better and 76 per

cent said they were satisfied. Not having to queue was the greatest advantage of all, they all agreed.

MEN in the Valencian Community are increasingly subject to anxiety and depression, said a Health department report. Half cited conflict at work as central to their problems.

Bulls get a festival break THERE has been a 20 per cent fall in bulls hired for local fiestas. Despite this sign of the economic times, many towns and villages will eliminate other elements in the fiestas before forgoing their bull running and goading events. Cataluña has banned bullfights but local fiestas where bulls are fought, goaded,

taunted and challenged continue unchecked. Few local or regional governments will willingly court unpopularity by banning them. The bulls, and sometimes cows, that go from fiesta to fiesta live to fight another day. They learn to inflict harm and even kill as one recently did in Nules (Castellon) during a bullrunning.

In Sollana (Valencia) a man’s arm was torn off by a confused bull enraged by fireworks fixed to its horns. Another was gored in the mouth. In Montserrat (Valencia) a participant needed 80 stitches for a leg wound. This summer is no different from any other as men - young, middle-aged and aging - give in to their primeval need to face a bull.

House, 82 per cent of Spaniards prefer to use the camera on their Smartphones to take snaps rather than carrying a traditional camera. A main reason is that they can immediately share photographs on social networking sites. Cameras are now one of the most frequently used tools on Smartphones, with many users basing their purchase on the facility available. And while more in the 20 - 30 age bracket prefer to use their Smartphone cameras, the tendency is not exclusive among the young as 60 per cent of Spaniards aged over 40, now leave their camera at home. Last year, according to consultant GFK, camera sales fell 27 per cent compared to in 2011.

Debt merry-go-round A COMPANY owed €500,000 by the regional government (Generalitat de Valencia) could have its offices auctioned off to pay a €10,000 debt to Onil Town Hall. Suma, which collects taxes for local governments, will auction the office which belongs to Grupo CEC Centro de Estudios, an Onil-based

business. Suma is pursuing it for a €10,000 town hall debt it cannot pay. At the same time the firm is owed €500,000 by the Generalitat. If no-one comes up with a solution within the next few days, the company will lose its office. Lawyer Juan Antonio Rico, representing the company, has tried to come to an arrangement

with Suma by compensating the debt with the money due from the regional government’s department of Economy, Industry, Tourism and Employment. “Incredibly, they have refused to accept,” Rico revealed. The town hall, on whose behalf Suma is acting, has also failed to respond to requests to negotiate, he said.

The Association of Campello Residents’ Communities has meanwhile distanced itself from Punta del Riu residents’ associations opposed to the presence of dogs. “It’s incredible that they grumble about dogs, but not the increased rates,” a spokesman said.

Asisa fraud of €994,109 AN Alicante office worker was found guilty of appropriating money destined for suppliers. The woman, who worked for the Asisa medical insurance company received a one-year sentence. Between May 2008 and May 2009 she diverted €94,109 to her own bank accounts after obtaining passwords that enabled her to alter Asisa’s database of suppliers. In May 2009, she returned €26,478 and later further sums were returned. Although found guilty of fraud, the court reduced her sentence to a year as she had repaid the money.

Black market labour blackmail is common FATIMA BAÑEZ recently urged citizens to report cases of black market labour. The minister of Labour’s suggestion produced mixed reactions. An estimated 109,000 people are thought to work without contracts or Social Security in Alicante province. “This is not always by choice,” argued Aurora Sales from Elche.

During the 12 years she worked for a Torrellano shoe manufacturer, she was contracted for only three years and four months. “There were 31 of us and we received a three-month contract for every 12 months we worked, always in the name of a different company.” Aurora told a Spanish interviewer. “The rest of the time I had to work without a contract, the

same as the other women there,” she said. Tired of clandestine working she was sacked after she asked to be put on contract. She has lodged a formal complaint with the courts against the company, asking to be readmitted on a legal contract. She is confident that finally justice will be done and each party “will be put in their place.”

Drug tests for factory staff FORD in Almussafes (Valencia) will test job candidates for drugs. The analysis will be part of the customary medical for applicants provisionally selected after presenting CVs and attending initial interviews. The decision to test for drugs was prompted by an incident some months ago when an employee was arrested for drug trafficking, union sources revealed to ABC newspaper. Checks like these are “completely legal,” the same sources said. “Interviewees are informed beforehand that they will be tested for drugs. “This is a factory with a great deal of heavy machinery, and the company has to be sure that employees do not take drugs.”

The €1,700 course with 170 hours of tuition at a Pego language school was subsidised by the German government. Those who completed the course are assured of jobs because their CVs have already been sent to different locations in Germany. Between them they have around 50 jobs for the under 35s. Some are for nurses, some for nursing auxiliaries and others are in care homes. Once the applicants are in Germany and can show a work contract, they will receive €300 for travel expenses.

Police are investigating a total of 10 rape cases in Alicante City that have been linked to the man, who is married with a family and is an IT teacher. The man was remanded in June after an off-duty policeman recognised him from an

A disaster (would have been) averted CAMPELLO emergency services on Muchavista beach went into rescue mode recently. Fortunately the unconscious young woman carried from the sea was a volunteer. She did not hit her head after diving from a pedalo, which is rigorously banned on Campello’s beaches. Had the accident really happened, her life would have been saved, as the rescue team took just 30 seconds to reach her. Swimmers and sunbathers looked on as lifeguards from Gestkal XX1, in conjunction with the Local Police and the DYA ambul-

ance service, rescued and resuscitated the ‘casualty’. “This accident simulation demonstrates the efficiency and organisation of all members of the safety and rescue units,” said Gestkal XXI’s beaches coordinator Jorge Martin. Each day the lifeguards swim the 200 metres separating the shore from the buoys “to improve reaction times and ensure we’re prepared for any emergency,” he explained. Around 250 people have needed help on Campello’s beaches so far this summer although there were no serious accidents, Martín added.

THE Generalitat will spend €1.3 million on persuading doctors to prescribe cheaper medication. It has invited tenders to design an awareness programme aimed at guiding Health system doctors towards ‘economy pharmaceuticals’ and ‘rational use’ of medication. Savings are particularly expected on drugs prescribed for patients with chronic ailments or those taking several medicines at once. This will “enhance the quality of prescriptions,” the regional department claimed. As well as promoting efficiency, “patients’ quality of life” should also improve, a

spokesman added. The programme is unnecessary, claimed Pedro Plou, president of the Valencian Community’s Medical Union. “Appointing an external team to show doctors how to save money on prescriptions is pointless because they already know,” he

argued. Health centre software now incorporates restrictions and obliges doctors to justify prescribing certain drugs, he pointed out. “If the Health department’s policy is to save, save, save, we’ll end up with a third world system,” Plou warned.

SOME of Gandia’s oldest trees have been lost and others could follow. Around 10 died in the last six years after 27 trees and seven groves were officially listed and protected in 2005. “Gandia’s remarkable trees are a legacy that should be cared for and respected,” said the then Environment councillor JoanFrancesc Peris. All political parties on the council backed Peris but classifying the trees has since dwindled. “Trees are disappearing and others are in a bad condition,” said forestry engineer and environmentalist Xavier Rodenas. “A hackberry on the banks of the Serpis and other trees are at risk,” he warned. “These include mock orange and a monkey puzzle tree in l’Alqueria Laborde, cypresses in the Plaza del Mercado, pines in the Casa de Cultura gardens and palms in Plaza de Crist Rei. “The town hall’s Environment department takes steps to protect some trees,” Rodenas admitted. “But it was the municipal gardeners and pressure groups that prompted action, not the town hall,” he said.

Forest fire breaks out in Lliber area By Cristina Cloquell A FOREST fire, which started in the municipality of Lliber, Alicante, swept through five hectares of pine and scrub.

The fire broke out about 8pm and was brought under control at about 2am. The benign weather conditions helped firefighters put the blaze out

quickly according to official sources. Although the fire was extinguished by Tuesday, firefighting units from two brigades and two aircraft

continued to work to damp down and cool the area to stop the blaze flaring back up. The cause of the fire was still unknown at the time of going to press.

21 injured in firework celebration TWENTY-ONE people suffered minor injuries in the traditional ‘Corda’ festivity that took place in Paterna (Valencia) on Sunday. The ‘Corda’ is an annual festival in which 200 people throw 55,000 fireworks in 20 minutes. Sources at the Paterna Town Council said that the 21 injured were attended to on site with no further consequences. Another two were attended to after being hurt on a parade along the streets of Paterna prior to the Corda. A small fire had to be put out when one of the fireworks hit a palm tree. But the mayor of Paterna, Lorenzo Agusti, said he was satisfied with how tradition, safety and spectacle walked hand in hand in this celebration.

Turning plastics into fuel A RESEARCH centre specializing in green energies believes the key to cutting the prices of fuel lies in people’s rubbish bins. The Andalucian Plastics Technology Centre (Andaltec) in Jaen is carrying out research to allow fuel to be produced from plastic. According to Andaltec, the plastics people normally throw away can be used to produce a type of fuel compatible with any diesel engine as it presents a high energy value. Public institutions including the ministry of Economy are supporting this project that would dramatically reduce pollution, said project manager Antonio Tobajas. If successful, this technology could also be implemented in water heating devices and power generators.

HOSTS: Madrid underground hosted an event to support the city’s Olympic candidacy.

Underground race to support Madrid MADRID underground hosted a one of a kind race to support the city’s candidacy to host the 2020 Olympic Games. One hundred runners took place in the race that covered 10 kilometres between the underground station of Tres Olivos and Marques de la Valdavia in Madrid. Organised by TV channel Discovery MAX, this non-competitive

race is reportedly the first one to have been held in Madrid’s underground. Many Spanish sportsmen, including 2011 Spanish marathon champion Pablo Villalobos and Paralympic medallist Javier Conde participated to support the candidacy two weeks before the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decides the host in

Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Spanish delegation is confident this event, that highlights two of Madrid’s biggest assets, public transport and popular support, will help tip the scales in its favour. TV channel Discovery MAX will broadcast a documentary about the race on September 6, just one day before the IOC’s decision is made.

Business as usual for charity

By Gemma Quinn A CHARITY that cares for terminally ill patients has been hit by a €12,000 fine by social security. But Paul Cunningham Nurses (PCN), based in La Marina, Alicante, has vowed to carry on its vital work despite having the cash taken from its charity account. “It is very much business as usual for both PCN charity and PCN S.L,” said business co-ordinator Tracey Wallace. She added: “Our nurses and carers are out there helping people 24 hours every day.”

The charity was hit with a fine which they fail to understand for allegedly obstructing a social security worker from carrying out her duties whilst visiting the La Marina charity shop, something members deny. Despite three appeals, the money was embargoed from their bank account. It was a bitter blow to those who have worked tirelessly over the years to raise money to support and care for terminally ill people and their families in the province.

The town hall has decided to close the park area because of the possibility of a ‘large black cat’ roaming the area. Although the first sighting of the animal was a few weeks ago, the resident did not notify the police until recently in case they thought he was ‘crazy’. Agents have set up traps and night cameras in the area where the cat seems to patrol on a regular basis. They have retired from the area to leave it in peace in the hope of capturing it alive. So far a fox and an unfortunate domestic cat have been caught. Both were released unharmed. The mayor, Antonio Torres, has himself seen the animal. He said: “I have seen it and I wouldn’t like to meet it face to face. We are probably talking about a panther that someone had as a pet and decided to let loose.”

Living off fat of the land THE number of self-employed agricultural workers has tripled since 2007.

finding self-employed work as a consequence of the present economic situation,” said OPA’s national president Camilo Abietar. “Many young people and those without jobs are taking refuge in the land as a way of surviving the crisis,” Abietar explained. Agriculture is recovering lost ground and contributes increasingly to the national Gross Domestic Product, he said, and OPA has done everything possible to help.

Men don’t want to pay for it all!

BUSINESS EXTRA

EVERYTHING’S going fantastic. There have been a few romantic dinners, a cheesy movie and a coffee date or two. He seems keen and she is equally as willing to give a relationship a go. But suddenly he falls off the radar. No more calls and he doesn’t respond to any of her What’s App messages. What happened? Chances are he got sick and tired of forking out for all the fun and A look games, while she kept at finance her wallet tightly snug for females in her handbag. Yes - that’s right Jane Plunkett according to a new study men want women jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com to pick up the tab occasionally too. When it comes to romance and money, it seems some girls find themselves treading in hypocritical territory. They want to be considered equal in the work world. They expect the same salaries, promotions and treatment as men, yet WOMEN: Better to pay your share. when it comes to paying for a date they are happy to let the man pay. old-fashioned chivalry from 21st century Any such females looking for lasting love men is never going to lead to happy-evershould be warned however, that expecting after.

Loose change

Modern men don’t want to pay for everything! The report reveals some interesting statistics bearing in mind that most females consider themselves part of Beyonce’s ‘Independent woman’ gang. A massive 84 per cent of men surveyed said that they paid for most dating expenses, 39 per cent of women admitted that they hoped men would not ask them to contribute, while 44 per cent of women were annoyed when men ‘expected’ women to pay. Despite the burning of bras and massive leaps in terms of equal rights for women and men, it seems that many women still expect men to pick up the bill when first dating. However the report does reveal that younger, college-educated women are more likely to offer to share the costs of dating. “It is a shared experience so it should be entirely shared, unless one partner is treating the other for a special occasion,” says one woman. Oh… and just for the record, 44 per cent of men said they would break it off with women who don’t offer to help pick up the tab. Does this explain why he didn’t reply to that message!

Change partners THERE were 43 bank mergers and takeovers in Spain since 2008, with four so far this year. In Europe only Russia, with 121 since 2008, had more.

Easy terms DEPARTMENT store El Corte Ingles reached a deal with Santander, BBVA, CaixBank, Sabadell, Banco Popular and Bankia to refinance 76 per cent of its €5 billion debt.

Hands up! CONSUMERS withdrawing cash from an ATM not belonging to their bank now pay an average charge of €3.50, which is up to twice as much as in 2008.

IT would seem that for many people heading off on holiday the excitement starts with a spot of retail therapy at the airport. And the Spanish are at the top of the queue along with the British and Germans when it comes to airport purchases. New research from Mintel market analysts, finds, for many, airport shopping marks the start of their holidays. Today, more than one in 10 (13 per cent) of European travellers look forward to shopping at airport shops, a figure which rises to almost one in five (18 per cent) of Britons and compares to 16 per cent of Germans, and 13 per cent of French and Spanish respectively. What is more, it seems like travellers simply can’t resist that last minute purchase, as many as 34 per cent of European fliers admit they have bought items in airport shops which they hadn’t planned to buy. And it seems like the Spanish are the most impulsive buyers, 65 per

RETAIL HOLIDAY: Travellers head for airport shops like this one in Madrid.

Captive customers make airport tills ring cent of them doing so, compared to 58 per cent of French and Germans, 57 per cent of Brits and 53 per cent of Italians. And while for the majority (58 per cent) shopping at airports remains a way to kill time before boarding a flight, airport stores could be much more than just that. Mintel’s research shows

that pre-booked collection and delivery services remain an untapped opportunity. Indeed, 19 per cent of European travellers would be interested in buying an item and picking it up on their return journey while 13 per cent would be interested in ordering an item at the airport and having it delivered to their destination.

Richard Perks, Director of Retail Research at Mintel, said: “People browse the shops because they have time to kill and, of course, that is good news for the retailers because it is likely to stimulate sales. “But there could be more to it than that. Airports should look to provide more pleasurable, potentially enriching activities. Lack of time is an issue, of course, and from the point of view of the airport operator, any space has to earn its way. But there should be scope for many more services.”

A beautiful deal as Revlon take over Colomer

SPANISH beauty care company The Colomer Group is being bought by industry giants Revlon in a $660 million (€495 million) deal. The cash deal is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Buying the family owned group will increase American cased Revlon’s penetration into the professional beauty salon market. Strategically Colomer complements Revlon, as it markets and sells professional products to salons and other professional channels under brands such as Revlon Professional hair care, which it currently licenses from the company under a longterm agreement. It also controls brands like Creative Nail professional nail polish, including its successful Shellac franchise.

Colomer also sells certain brands directly into retail channels, including Natural Honey body lotions and Llongueras hair care, and operates a multicultural hair-care business under the Crème of Nature brand. Approximately 50 per cent of its sales are in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with 40 per cent in the US, and the balance in the rest of the world. Lorenzo Delpani, Chief Executive Officer of Colomer said: “I am delighted that we are joining the Revlon family. My leadership team and the entire Colomer organisation are very proud of our accomplishments in building our business, and we look forward to working with Revlon and continuing the positive momentum of our company.”

Good news for Spain as exports are booming THERE was more good news for Spanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy as export growth boomed in June. Rajoy has stated that the country is ready to emerge from recession in the next six months after the tough, and unpopular, medicine of spending cuts and tax rises he administered. His policy of austerity to tackle huge deficits has been immensely unpopular. His claims that the medicine was working ‘but we haven’t seen the effects yet,’ particularly in labour market reforms, were greeted with scepticism. But latest figures, which reveal that exports rose 10.5 per cent in

June compared with the same period in 2012, show that Spanish manufacturers and the agricultural sector may be trading their way out of trouble. And with imports falling by 2.8 per cent from June 2012 the trade deficit was a very manageable €106 million. That looks extremely healthy compared to the €2.7 billion deficit in the same period last year. The Euro Weekly News has previously reported that reduced imports plus rising exports, with the car industry leading the way, led to Spain showing a trade surplus in March. That was the first time the country had shown a surplus in more than 40 years.

Signs needed to alert tourists of crime threat A BRITISH family of four renting a property near where we live have had their holiday ruined by thieves who stole the wife’s handbag while they were in a local restaurant. The handbag contained the family passports, spending money, credit cards plus flight documents. Fortunately some friends on holiday with them in a neighbouring property were able to assist by driving them to the British Consulate to help unravel and sort out the situation. But I find it shocking that: 1. The urbanisation office does not warn holidaying families of the danger of being robbed locally. 2. No warning signs are even erected at local markets, shops, supermarkets or on the beach. Many police forces throughout Europe put up posters - in English and other languages - highlighting the threat of street crime, so why not the Spanish. Posters in police stations and official offices are no-good... they need to be out in the public arena where they can be clearly seen. Margaret Kersen, Riviera del Sol (Malaga)

Rubbish service WHEN the tractors go out early in the morning on the beach of La Cala de Mijas (Malaga) with the ‘sifting’ machines, they don’t actually remove the rubbish they are supposed to. I go for my walks on the beach first thing by the water’s edge. These tractors ply up and down creating a dust cloud from the river sand with a view to removing the day before’s detritus and leave the surface level, clean and ready for another hoard of tourists. What actually happens is that these machines merely crawl along redistributing and burying the majority of the plastic and paper food wrappers and empty bottles. There are three tractors some days that work the beach, representing a €250,000 capital investment, not to mention three town hall salaries for the men that operate them. All just to brush the rubbish under the carpet ! Robert Caley (By email)

taxed and tested cars. What I object to is the vehicles that are being driven here illegally. I have lived in Spain for five years and see the same untaxed vehicles week after week and they never leave Spain. What prompted my original letter was when I parked next to a car with a tax disc with an expiry date 09.05., almost eight years out of date. I don’t suppose the driver of that car bothered with trivial things like ITV, tax and insurance. Geoff Birds,Los Gallardos, (Almeria) Editor’s note: This correspondence is now closed.

True value AFTER Mijas Council awarded the contract for the removal of rubbish for recycling to a new company, our yellow ‘plastics’ bin was removed. We now have to share with the next door community. This is the result. Not a very good image to show the many tourists around at the moment!

parks in the town centre is one of the key reasons why people are going to other areas to shop. Why should people visit Torrevieja town centre when they can go to either the Habaneras or Zenia Boulevard Shopping Centre where there is ample free parking? Even in the off peak months there is a decided lack of free parking in the centre of Torrevieja. Compared with other holiday destinations along the southern Costa Blanca, Torrevieja has not invested in free, landscaped, attractive car parks for the scores of people visiting the beach. Until Torrevieja changes its policy on parking, the town centre will continue to lose shoppers, streets will continue to have kerb to kerb parked cars and visitors will go to locations where parking is free and easy.

Bad business AS he was driving home the DJ from my business saw two black sex workers trying to steal a phone from a man. He tried to stop them. He did not know there was a police car behind him. They stopped to look as the ‘prostitutes’ grabbed the guy’s phone and ran. My DJ said the police saw what he did, but they just laughed and drove on. The DJ then drove round to see if he could spot the sex workers. He didn’t, but he did see more ‘prostitutes’ hanging around the cash point. Are the police going around with blinkers on? We can see what is going on. We need to bring down Calvia Council (Mallorca) and the police. What goes on here should be exposed in the UK press and TV. It may lead to one or two years’ bad business, but what we do now is for the future of Mallorca. Paul Smith, (By email)

Last word IN reply to Julian Ward (Letters, Road Laws, Issue 1467) I think he missed my point about UK registered vehicles being driven in Spain. I have no problem with people who drive their cars over for extended stays, in fact I have a couple of friends who do just that, in

A BRITISH tourist was hospitalised after an assault by a taxi driver in Magaluf over a fare of no more than €5. The taxi driver said the male was drunk and could not pay the fare. So apparently he thought it better to punch him five times in the face instead of calling the police. The casualty was taken by ambulance to hospital and the police let the taxi driver continue on his way. Just when are the Spanish going to realise how important tourism is to them and start to look after what is of true value? Andrew Donald (By email)

Buy British! I READ with interest the list of football transfers written by Tony Matthews (Issue 1467). Of the 72 players listed, only six, or roughly 8 per cent, seem to be British, let alone English. That does not really help poor Roy Hodgson (England manager) with his selections. Needs of club before country. Thank you Tony. I really enjoy your copy. Harvey Appel, Sorbas, (Almeria)

Passport help I RECENTLY needed to renew my British passport. I used the company Easy Post in Benidorm after seeing their advert in the Euro Weekly News. I found them very helpful with all the correct forms and photo details. I can definitely recommend them. I have absolutely no connection with this company but think credit where it’s due John Alfas (By Email)

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

brings vast numbers of their comrades home in body bags, and once again achieves precisely nothing except heartbreak and sorrow. Such is my distrust of these Arab nations, and as beyond belief it may appear to Western ears, I would not put it past the ‘rebel’ forces to have gassed their own, in the opinion that to lose a few was a small price to pay to gain the sympathy of the West and bring in their support and military might. A kind of lesser of the two evils. I certainly believe there is a cause for reasonable doubt. With Russia and China on our side the whole Mid-East situation could be resolved virtually

Dog saves cat’s life AN 18-month-old labrador called Macy saved the life of Rory, a ginger cat with a rare blood transfusion after he became ill from having eaten rat poison.

overnight. Until this happens, independent interference by the rest of Europe and the USA will merely cause unrest, mistrust, and an ultimate danger of plunging the whole world back to the dark days of the cold war and the almost unthinkable disintegration of peace, leading to a conflict that will result in the end of society as we know it. Is that scenario really worth taking a chance on? Somehow I think not. Once again I reiterate. Let these people sort themselves out. As long as they are no threat to us, the consequences of ‘holier than thou,’ morally affronted interference from the West, is simply not worth it. To risk escalating the violence, which could ultimately deliver us into the hands of the dark forces of satanic evil, would be a betrayal of all our ancestors have fought and died for.

We must stay out of futile conflicts DOES it not create a shudder of deja vu to see weapons inspectors entering yet another Mid-East area of death and destruction? At the time of writing I have no idea what the outcome of this latest incursion into Syria will bring. What I am convinced of however is that the whole exercise is merely a delaying tactic to appease the public and allow the Obamas and Camerons of this world time to decide whether to commit to action or not. The last time the inspectors went in (to Iraq) they discovered nothing. Blair and Bush of course then decided to attack anyway. Years, and thousands of deaths later, the situation in Iraq has still not been resolved. Let us hope that the lessons have been learned and whatever these inspectors discover, without the backing of Russia and China we stay well out of it. Our ‘masters of war’ simply have no right to plunge our brave troops into yet another lost cause, that

Keeping clear of kickbacks mire

NE political figure has not allowed her skirts to brush the mire of government contracts, kickbacks and party funding revealed by Luis Barcenas. Stand up vice-president Soraya Saenz de Santamaria. Hers is the only name not mentioned in the daily drip from the polluted tap opened by the former PP treasurer opened last January. Cornered when his Swiss bank accounts came to light, Barcenas has struck out wherever and whenever he can, laying bare what he claims is the party’s own financial skullduggery.

Cassandra Nash

A weekly look and not entirely impartial reaction – to the Spanish political scene

If he could hurt Mariano Rajoy through his vice-president he would. That he has not yet harmed Saenz de Santamaria is the best political recommendation she could ask for.

Spare a thought for Spanish women whose names exactly match those of their compatriots wanted in Peru on drugs’ charges. Several Spanish tourists have languished in Peruvian jails while Interior ministries half-heartedly tried to extricate themselves and the victims from the snarl of paperwork. And they weren’t carrying cocaine.

Mule train THE two British girls accused of trying to smuggle cocaine out of Peru have a mighty problem.

DRUGS: Not a good idea.

It had nothing to do with me, guv DOLORES DE COSPEDAL made her expected statement to judge Pablo Ruz, investigating the Gurtel and Barcenas cases. Although she is PP secretary general she had nothing to do with the arrangement whereby sacked Luis Barcenas - whom she is known to dislike - continued to be paid, De Cospedal said. That decision belonged to Mariano Rajoy

and Javier Arenas, PP grandee and vice-secretary general. Opprobrium has rained down on her since then for landing Rajoy and Arenas in the fertiliser and saving her own skin. Presumably her critics would have preferred her to dissemble and add one more to the pack of lies already heard regarding Barcenas. JAVIER ARENAS: Vice-secretary general.
