Spanish construction corruption blog

Grupo Prisa must have hoped that judge Garzón’s pre-election leaks to El país would help stave off financial doom–shares are down almost 90% on last year–but here’s someone else tapping a nail into its coffin.

M’hauria agradat més d’estudiar química, i per tal de servir el que jo creia que era la meva vocació, vaig matricular-me al preparatori de Ciències. Matricular-se! Prenguin nota de la parauleta!
