This is what we used to call a Freudian slip.. when your subconscious pops out the wrong word and you admit your crimes by mistake.

Maria Dolores, also President of Castilla meant to say ‘lift up the country (sacar)’ and instead said ‘loot and destroy the country’ (saquear.. as in ‘they sacked Troy’.)

It’s the second time she’s done it, and very timely too, because the latest scandal is that Rodrigo Rato, ex IMF President and guru of The ruling PP, is on the list of 705 elite politicians, business leaders and royals accused of stealing countless billions for nearly 40 years, and legalizing their offshore fortunes in a contrived ”fiscal amnesty”.

Rato was actually arrested and spent up to 3 HOURS in symbolic luxury custody.

The case of Ali Baba Rato and the 705 thieves may even upset the PP campaign of lies, threats and patronage designed to beat the discredited socialists and the upstart ‘occupy’ movement Podemos in local elections next month.

Podemos have jumped from zero to 22% of prospective votes and have therefore been accused of everything those in power can think up in their straight media.. mostly lies but there do exist growing divisions between the Podemos leaders, already being corrupted by power, and the original community assemblies.

From an anarchist viewpoint it’s easy to say ‘we told you so’ and point to the Syriza leaders in Greece, breaking every promise they made to get power. ( Far from defying odious debt or leaving NATO as they promised, Syriza have just secretly allocated 464m euros to the US Lockheed Martin to repair military jets, while looting councils, health and pensions to pay this week’s 464 million euro loan interest to the IMF. http://www.grupotortuga.com…)

Meanwhile in Catalonia too the politicians have been caught swilling at the trough of public misery. Latest estimates are up to 500 million euros stolen by the ex president Jordi Pujol, long considered to be somewhere between a king and a saint. The scandals, along with party bickering seem to have burst the head of steam pushing for a Catalan State. And Pujol was just the top of the ladder, administering a ‘3% illegal commission’ system on public tenders for 35 years. http://www.euroxpress.es/index.php/noticias/2014/8/8/jordi-pujol-el-escandalo-y-consecuencias-para-cataluna/

Not to be outdone the Spanish church have been shown up indulging in an orgy of greed. The Catholic Church still pays no tax on it’s massive estate, receives huge public subsidies they don’t need, and still gets away totally with its historic crimes (the stealing of 100,000 babies, fingering of thousands of dissidents for summary execution, sponsoring of 40 years of fascism, etc,)

A big Pedophile ring of priests in Andalusia has just escaped prosecution (except for one) by saying the charges have passed their ‘trial-by-date’..

Then there is the astonishing example of Seville Cathedral, now signed over as property of the Church, along with the chief Mosque of Cordoba and thousands of properties across the State, under a special law they had introduced to let them claim any property held in community trust. The Cathedral was signed over at a cost of just 30 euros and makes over 9 million euros a year from millions of visitors, tax free. http://kaosenlared.net/la-iglesia-inmatriculo-la-catedral-de-sevilla-en-el-ano-2010-por-30-euros/ “We’ve Worked really hard to Loot the Country” said good old Maria Dolores on TV, indeed several thousand politicians have been indicted for corruption. Hardly any however have been imprisoned and people shrug and say ‘typical Spanish’.. , because most courts, police, army, lawyers, unions, media and even the High Court etc are also blatantly controlled by an elite of ex fascists, billionaires and Opus Dei.

Although the new ultra repressive Gag Laws don’t come into force till July the police are already trying out some provisions, like jailing people for demonstrating or for supporting political prisoners, banning anti bullfight demos, etc

There has been a slight decrease in the highest unemployment rate in Europe, petrol is cheaper, the stock markets are booming in a new bubble! Every day we hear that ”the crisis is over”. Car sales are up, Barca and Madrid are in the semi finals!

Nevertheless activist sites and papers are pointing to a deep resentment, with the exposure of Rodrigo Rato as a mega criminal being a final straw, and are calling for a Spanish Spring, starting on Mayday.

El nuevo lapsus de Cospedal: “Hemos trabajado mucho para saquear el país”

La número dos del PP cometió este mismo fallo en 2012, cuando cambió la palabra ‘sacar’ por ‘saquear’

23.04.2015 | 03:43

Redacción La secretaria general del PP y presidenta de Castilla-La Mancha sufrió un nuevo lapsus durante un mitin en Guadalajara el pasado 17 de abril, que ya había cometido unos años antes. María Dolores de Cospedal cambió la palabra ‘sacar’ por ‘saquear’. “Hemos trabajado mucho para saquear a nuestro país”, dijo Cospedal.

RAJOY: NO RENUNCIARÉ Tanto Rajoy como otros altos cargos del Partido Popular habrían recibido sobresueldos en negro durante casi dos décadas provenientes de financiamiento ilegal de la organización política, según confesó en julio del 2014 el exgerente y extesorero del partido actualmente en el gobierno, Luis Bárcenas en una entrevista a El Mundo. Meses después, El 23 de marzo del 2015, el juez de la Audiencia Nacional, Pablo Ruz, confirmó que el Partido Popular dispuso de una contabilidad paralela entre 1990 y 2008 con la que costeó campañas electorales y sobresueldos a dirigentes. Algunos documentos publicados por el diario español, El País, reflejan el pago de sobresueldos a Rajoy en 1997, 1998 y 1999 cuando era ministro en el gobierno de José María Aznar. Estos pagos vulneraban la Ley de Incompatibilidades de 1995 que prohibía cualquier ingreso extra, público o privado, a los miembros del Gobierno. Por su parte, el periódico El Mundo precisó que “Luis Bárcenas controló esta práctica tanto durante los casi 20 años que ejerció de gerente del partido, como en el año escaso que permaneció como tesorero. El dinero procedía de comisiones cobradas a constructoras y compañías de seguridad y de donaciones anónimas”. Así lo confirmó el ex tesorero luego de que en enero de ese mismo año el diario El País revelara documentos que comprometían al actual mandatario español en casos de corrupción. Si bien para ese entonces Rajoy negó la existencia de una contabilidad paralela y aseguró que los pagos del partido se ceñían a la legalidad, meses después, asumió su error en “confiar” en Barcenás e indicó que pese a ello no dimitiría. Pero los escándalos de corrupción en España van más allá del Caso Bárcenas. Anteriormente, en el 2007, se inició una investigación denominada “Caso Gürtel” sobre una red de corrupción política vinculada al Partido Popular. En noviembre del 2014, Ana Mato, ministra de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad, renunció a su cargo tras ser citada por el mismo juez, Pablo Ruz, por estar presuntamente vinculada con los negocios i legales de su exmarido en la trama Gürtel. A todo esto se suma la reciente detención del vicepresidente segundo del gobierno y ministro de Economía de Aznar, director del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) y militante del PP, Rodrígo Rato, por presunto blanqueo de capital y fraude fiscal. Altos cargos de Castilla y León cobraron varias comisiones por aprobar parques eólicos
