SPANISH ELECTIONS ON 14 MARCH 2004
I think that it is difficult to understand this photo for non Spanish people. I will try to explain it more or less:
Next 2004-03-14, the Spanish will decide who will govern the country during four years. Actually, the President of the Government is Aznar (PP), but he will not represent this party again, now for PP is Mariano Rajoy, the Aznar's successor. PP (Partido Popular) is a conservative party. The third main party is IU(Izquierda Unida)=Ezker Batuak-Berdeak in the Basque Country, with Gaspar Llamazares as candidate. IU is the Comunist Party, and its real possibilities to get the Government are not very high. Usually they make union with PSOE or others little parties « from the left » to govern in some regions.
It´s written in the poster: Mariano (Mariano Rajoy), Ezker Batuak-Berdeak (IU) warns: To vote to the right seriously harms the freedom, the democracy and the dialogue. This picture was taken in Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain) on 2004-02-12.
