by David Darby •

Málaga Murder
by David Darby •
The body of Málaga lawyer, Salvador Andrés Reina was found in the boot of his car near the bus station in the city last Friday.

To pass a comment is difficult, when others don’t provoke it, so from my point of view it was a dull month for the German corner. But if I would have to award a prize, it would have to go to the conservative Christian Social Union of Bavaria, which is the only federal state without a branch of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union.

Marxism, Merkelism, Papandreouism
