the governer of Florida came to see Spain.

He arrived with 80 pals to invest in the Spanish economy discuss Cuba, Oil, and big brother.

He had begun on the wrong foot though. He had greeted JoseMaria Aznar President of the centralised governemnt of Spain (which is Juan Carlos Bourbó´s kingdom) as President of the Republic. The Spanish Republic of course ended in Barcelona on the 20th of November the day Franco entered that city and most bloodily ended the Spanish civil war.

So last night Jeb Bush (3) came to BCN. A small crowd of between a hundred and a hundred and fifty gathered at 8pm at Placa St. Jaume to greet him.

It was freezing cold, lashing rain, (today I am completely congested). A representative group was had with Nunca Mais, the Old city (inner city) "Auturem la Guerra" commitee and members of the Socialist/Green 4 party alliance. One man had brought a flag of the Spanish Republic and we chanted "Republika Sí Guerra No" for a while.
When the US leader cavalcade arrived we pushed forward and chanted "res-is-ten-cia" which is a four sylabic combination and verily puts the wind up them I can tell you.

This was lots of fun. We have been a bit upset over the last weekend by bigger than normal demonstrations and it was nice to see that once a member of the Bush Family actually turned up in the city, only a small group would go out and greet him. That is exactly as it should be. Dont want all those activiated millions what was it? 1.3million? clogging up the chanting of "res-is-ten-cia" now do we?
Nope you cant work with those types of numbers.

Last night was back to normal. The Police could outnumber us and the media circus could equal us. Protest as it ought be. I can not report what Mr Jeb Bush (Bush3) looks like, as he was rushed into the Governmental building at high speed amidst a cavalcade of police and what appeared to me to be larger than normal type security men with perfect teeth and hightech earpieces.

"El Hermanito" [the little brother] today will continue his visit to Spain and "eff off" somewhere else outside of Catalonia almost home to the 3rd republik.
The Spanish media has begun debating the "3rd republik" since our display and his gaffe and well thats very nice.

I must go teach communciation skills to a bunch of very loyal supporters of the crown this afternoon, and I suppose that will be interesting as I have just been televised screaming republikan slogans at the Government and it´s esteemed guest.

I shall not however worry the readers of IMC ireland with this.

Florida seemingly has much to offer Madrid (less for Catalonia according to todays analysis of the business on offer). Florida is the gateway to the USA from Cuba and the caribean and it seems Madrid is most worried about all the poor people who want to get to Miami. Madrid it seems wants to help the USA be a fortress. Jolly good for Madrid. And now an interesting "facty".

Aznar has spent more time in the company of the Bushes than any other Western Leader this year. More than Blair. Much more than Chirac. On Saturday next Mr Aznar will go to the Bush ranch the day after Jeb Bush 3 goes home.

Whilst Mr Aznar is away we are inviting everyone who can scream, dance, tell a story or saddle a horse to go to Madrid for

NUNCA MAIS Feb. 23rd. 2003

because we mean it.

"res-ist-enc-ia"...is how we put it.

ya basta! is what it means.
no pasaran! is what it sounds like.
