So? The amnesty left an empty place for another 1 million and above.

The problem is that now there has been an increase of foreign population of up to 5 million (according to official figures, nearer to 7 million according to other figures [for the Spanish, buy or subscribe to the newspaper Identidad and follow the articles by Ernesto Milà]) in a record time of less than a decade and during a boom in the construction sector artificially extended with the immigrants, where it was easy to get a job.

Not we are on a period of crisis, a part of which is seen but another part is submerged, with a government that has done nothing to forsee its effects and that knows not what to do anyway. And with an unemployment index the highest of all OCDE countries. And rising.

We have some very interesting years coming ahead.

The sooner that people realize that there is no such "Conservatives" (with or without quotes), the better.

AP thrived with M. Fraga on the votes of the Conservative public. Then turned into PP and in their long quest for the "center", they cornered the Social Conservative within the party, to the point of marginalizing them. And now they are ostracizing them.

I bet that they've used sessions of hypnotism because I've seen life-time Ultra-Conservatives repeating with much conviction that they are Liberals.
