José María Aznar

José María Aznar López is a privatising neoliberaloid fachita born in Madrid on 25 February 1953 and his only painful merit was to be the fourth president of democratic Spain from 1996 to 2004.

The only sentence he has left for history has been written in blood in the fat book of shame. He uttered it in the 11-M parliamentary commission of enquiry into the Madrid bombings of 2004 after everyone in his government had had enough of lying from minute one to point the finger at ETA after the bombs exploded on four trains in Madrid and elsewhere.

"Those who masterminded these bombings are not in remote deserts or in distant mountains".

The Chilcot report finally confirmed what we already knew about the invasion of Iraq, that Aznar was the most cynical of the three murderous liars of the sadly known as the "Azores Trio", as he allowed himself to admit that what they claimed to know without a trace of doubt, in reality no one knew at the time. And he confessed it to the applause of other fanatical supporters of the free spilling of bombs.
