Elections in Spain: Aznar’s Triumph

The general elections in Spain have been a triumph for Jose Maria Aznar and his Popular Party. For the first time in modern history a party of the Spanish right has conquered an outright majority in democratic elections. Under Aznar´s leadership the Popular Party has abandoned the remainders of its authoritarian legacy and moved on a more pragmatic, laic and definitely democratic ground. The result confirms therefore also the coming of age of modern Spanish democracy. Aznar´s personal triumph is mainly founded on his pragmatism in economic policies, where he has succeeded in reducing significantly the unemployment rate and privatizing large parts of the state held industries. The Socialist opposition has not convinced the voters with their critics against the policies of privatization, but even worse did the Communist led United Left. Liberated from the need to ask for parliamentary support from some of the minor regional parties, Aznar can now govern the country with a stable majority in the Cortes, but the most difficult problem of Spanish politics will remain the regional question.

Canada has many historical and fictional heroes. Laura Secord, Terry Fox, Louis Riel and the Voyageurs of Canada's early days were all historical heroes. Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Robin Hood and Buck Rodgers are fictional heroes. But what of our unsung heroes - the ones who lay down their lives daily for others. Today, these are the heroes that I pay tribute to.
