• Surplus of Pessimism May Cost Spain's Ruling Socialists at Polls

Spanish voters on Sunday are expected to dismiss the Socialist government of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and usher in the conservative People's Party (PP) and its leader, Mariano Rajoy. Mr. Zapatero's Socialist party (PSOE), which has been in power for eight years, has borne the brunt of public blame for Spain's increasingly perilous economic situation, which has tainted the party's leadership candidate, Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba.

• Hot Spots: Spain

When the elite of the Spanish establishment -- captains of industry, congressmen, ambassadors and senior government Ministers -- assembled in the trading hall of Madrid's stock exchange in early April to hear Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's State of the Nation address, they were treated to a self-congratulatory description of economic success. Zapatero's administration has done little more than ride the favorable tides and keep a tight rein on public finances. Fierce competition has driven some of Spain's banks into the riskier segments of the financial markets and there is concern about the danger of an abruptly rising personal bankruptcy rate.

• Spain's New Prime Minister Targets Budget Gap

Conservative leader Mariano Rajoy assumed office as Spain's prime minister Wednesday, vowing to close a huge budget deficit at home and restore his country's credibility abroad. Opting to swear - rather than affirm - his allegiance to King Juan Carlos and the constitution, Mr. Rajoy set a tone markedly different from that of his predecessor, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who favored a more secular Spain as part of his socialist policies.

• Al Qaida Reclama Los Atentados de Madrid

¡No queríamos la guerra [de Irak]!", decía una persona en alusión a la oposición de una aplastante mayoría que se opuso al ataque contra Irak. Otro, que no quiso revelar su nombre, dijo que la concentración la había convocado la plataforma Cultura contra la Guerra, de la que dijo ser integrante, informó la agencia noticiosa Reuters. Las declaraciones públicas con mensajes políticos de los dos candidatos a la presidencia con posibilidades de ganar, Rajoy, del PP, y José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, del Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE), se limitaron durante los dos días siguientes a la masacre como muestra de respeto a las víctimas y tras un acuerdo de todos los partidos políticos para cancelar la campaña electoral.

• Eta Anuncia Tregua Indefinida

Así, mientras el presidente del gobierno, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, pidió cautela y prudencia ante el anuncio, repitió lo que lleva meses diciendo: "Todo proceso de paz será largo y difícil y, por tanto, creo que a ese proceso estamos todos convocados y todos obligados", pidiendo la colaboración expresa de todos los partidos políticos, especialmente la del Partido Popular (PP) en la oposición.
