What is wrong with politics in Spain?

[Janet]

the mayor of Valle Gran Rey sentenced to four years in prison

and he has managed to stay out of jail despite repeated orders for him to turn up voluntarily to serve his sentence ... and now they've sent the police to arrest him. He's in now ...

One down!

Article in Canarias7 about a Chinese study to determine whether political corruption is a curable mental illness. 

It looks as if half the politicians in Spain will soon be in jail, and the other half in mental hospitals....

Although I don't want to see Tenerife misrepresented by gutter TV, let's be realistic too. This is an awful graphic of all the municipalities in Tenerife where the mayor or ex-mayor is imputed for corruption or abuse of office.

I think you can include the ex mayor of Arafo (unofficially as yet) in that graph Janet. Sadly I am sure that the ones that are not under investigation just haven't been caught out yet.

Absolutely . . . I mean Adeje, not there! Ok just too powerful that's all.

Not actually politics, but the same crap in the military. It seems that some young officer has written a novel about corruption in the armed forces. He was arrested and thrown in military clink, but I'm not sure why. (Neither is he). Now he's back in the news having gone on hunger strike.

Classic case of the Streisand effect, I hope

This guy I was droning on about in the previous post has now made a video, and has hit the English language newspaper The Local

It could be explosive. Same crap in the army as in politics generally. Nobody has realised that Franco is dead.

I feel bad for the guy but congratulate him on his fortitude.
