Rajoy and the audacity of idiocity


Rajoy, PP's candidate to the Presidency of Spain, thinks that Spanish people are stupid and have no memory. We know you have been a public official before mr. Rajoy and we know you weren't very good at it. In fact, you are by far the worst Minister of the Interior this country has ever had.

This is no subjective conclusion, we have facts:

- Highest homicide rate in Spanish democratic history, 2001-2002, when Rajoy was Interior Minister, the number was 1,251. Under the current Socialist Party, homicides are down to 987 in 2007. Fact.

- After the Socialist Party lost power in 1996, it left behind 125,000 police officers. In eight years of conservative PP government that number actually went down to 118,000 (7,000 less officers). Under the current Socialist government, in 2007 we have in Spain 136,000 officers, 17,000 new officers. Fact.

- The PP government spent in 2003 0,49% of its GDP in public safety, the Zapatero government has put that number up to 0,60% of the GDP. Fact.

There you go, facts versus demagogy, don't let PP supporters tell you conservatives are better at keeping you safe, because it's just a big fat lie. Fact.
