Qualitative Info |
Even though the the xneophobic speech is not usual in the Spanish political scene there are more and more exceptions such those protaginized during the 2011 electoral campaign by some memers of the oposition party in that moment (PP). We are refering to the afterwards elected mayor of Badalona Xavier García Albiol who has been atributed with a crime for distributing xenophobic flyers and for describing rumanian gyspsies as a "plague". |
