Latest PP corruption scandals in Madrid put the party way behind in voter intention polls
SPAIN -- "The voters are absolutely fed up with all the corruption coming out now," said a supporter of the new alternative party, Podemos, at a rally the other day. Her opinion reflects the result of the latest poll by El País, which has put the PP and also the PSOE into a panic. This is just the latest in a string of scandals that have flowered over the last years, though by no means are these limited to the governing party. However, the list is so long that we can only present the PP cases below. Other cases will come up here as we can write about them. For that purpose we've done a Who's Who of the bigger cases that have come to court, with the proceedings as they stand on Sunday, November 2. (Those politicians, business people and others, below, are not part of the latest upheavel that has resulted in 53 arrests on a huge number of charges, some of whom are in jail, though -- we will be doing their list later.)
