Zapatero can no longer be referred to as the “accidental prime minister” as he was voted back into government for a second term. His government has done an enormous amount for the Spanish people in terms of social services and the economy. Aznar and his successor Rajoy are left-overs from the corrupt, unjust and oppressive dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Aznar’s father and grandfather both held government offices under this monster. He had his own corrupt agenda, and had even less of an idea on how to deal with terrorism. After the bombings he ignorantly assumed that ETA were responsible without any evidence whatsoever. Zapatero is not caving in to anything. Most think he is because of their irrational fear of Islam as a result of a small number of despicable murderers, but there are examples of this in most religions. Zapatero is doing a just and honest job, and has helped to form a country with incredibly low crime rates per capita, in relation to many developed countries including the United States, France and the United Kingdom.
Finally, Spain would be 100% correct to return Ceuta and Melilla. They put pressure on the British to return Gibraltar, so it would be utter hypocrisy if Spain were to retain these overseas territories.
