	People's Party (Spain) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Popular Alliance (AP) was a conservative right-wing party founded in 1976 by former Francisco Franco ministers.
		At the party congress in February 1987, Hernandez was chosen to head the AP, declaring that under his leadership the AP would become a "modern right-wing European party." But Hernandez lacked political experience at the national level, and the party continued to decline.
		In August 2003, Mariano Rajoy was named Aznar's successor and was the party's candidate for the prime ministership in the Spanish general election, 2004.

	Grieving Spain ousts ruling party - The Boston Globe
		The Popular Party's surprising demise was the result of a punishing electorate, political analysts said, that lashed out at the way the government handled the investigation of the train bombings, accusing it of playing political games with the bloodiest atrocity in Spain since the 1936 civil war.
		The newly-elected Socialist Party leader, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, has vowed to pull those troops out of Iraq when their tour of duty is over this summer and has promised to bring Spain back into the European diplomatic fold with France and Germany, both of which opposed the war in Iraq.
		Then the Socialist Party, believing the conservatives would benefit in the election if the bombing was the work of ETA, accused the Popular Party of playing politics with a national tragedy and of concealing information from the public that, in fact, it was Islamic extremists who carried out the attacks.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.1, Entry 364, DEMOCRATIC - REPUBLICAN PARTY: Library of Economics and Liberty
		The legitimate strength of parties was better shown at the same election in the choice of the house which met in 1849, where the democrats had a slight plurality, the free soilers holding the balance of power.
		The mass of the party was therefore arrayed, throughout the rebellion, against the methods by which the war was conducted; but there was a strong underlying sentiment in the party that the war itself was unnecessary, and that the troubles of the country could be most easily settled by a convention of the states.
		The popular vote, however, had grown since 1860 parallel with that of the opposing party; in spite of the defection of war democrats, the secession of half a million of its former voters, and a platform which did not gain a single vote, the party still polled 45 per cent.

	A "strange blooding in the ways of popular culture"? Party at the Palace as hegemonic project Popular Music ...
		In contemporary popular music we seem to be left with, at best, the futile irony of postmodern theatre and, at worst, the hypercommercial banality of the boy band or TV audition.
		One reason that pop's rebel heroes and their descendents have been relegated to obscurity, reduced to cliche, and enshrined in nostalgia could be that the grounds for political debate within society have changed.
		Star musicians were a prominent aspect of the Party, but it could not have taken place without support from a range of sources.

		At the Socialist Party's headquarters, celebrations following the unexpected victory were subdued, overshadowed by the memory of the dead and the nearly 1,500 wounded in the train attacks.
		Among government officials and supporters, there was bitterness at the notion that by stoking popular fears, the attackers who planted the bombs may have altered the result of the election and could force a firm ally of the United States to modify its foreign policy.
		The Popular Party was also hurt by the estimated 2 million young Spaniards voting for the first time.

		The real reason the party is straining to avoid a primary battle is the fear of the bad blood it would bring.
		By avoiding the vote, the party will also be able to more quickly fill Arizmendi’s seat – important because the PDP House majority is down to a one-vote advantage above what is needed to pass most legislation.

	Popular Action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Popular Action (Acción Popular) is a conservative liberal party in Peru.
		The AP had significant electoral success, attaining the presidency in 1963 and 1980, but the party was more of an electoral machine for the persona of Belaúnde than an institutionalized organization.
		In addition, whereas in the 1960s the AP was seen as a reformist party, by the 1980s as Peru's political spectrum had shifted substantially to the left the AP was positioned on the center-right.

	Anti-war sentiment caused Aznar party's rout -DAWN - International; 17 March, 2004
		The vote revealed a broad, deep and intense popular hostility to both the war and the government lies that have accompanied it a sentiment that is by no means limited to Spain.
		At the same time, the government feared with justification, as events have proven that a popular perception that the bombings were the work of Al Qaeda or some sympathetic group would redound against the Popular Party and its prime ministerial candidate, Mariano Rajoy.
		This was supposedly a non-political event, but the Popular Party had ensured by its propaganda that there would be no shortage of banners denouncing ETA as 11 million people - a third of the Spanish population took to the streets.

	Socialists gain amid massive rejection of Aznar's party : Voters reshape Spanish politics after terror strikes
		Spain's opposition Socialist Party unexpectedly seized the lead in general elections Sunday, amassing a comfortable number of seats in Parliament and positioned to hand a humiliating defeat to the governing conservative Popular Party.
		While it was clear that the Socialists won more seats than the Popular Party, it was still not clear exactly how close they would be to a majority and how difficult it would be for the Socialists to find help in forming a coalition.
		Before the bombings, the Popular Party had maintained a slim lead over its rival in its effort to stay in power for a third term.

	Spain's Popular Party seeks to destabilise PSOE government
		The Popular Party (PP) has released a propaganda film entitled After the Massacre, which denounces the election victory of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) on March 14, 2004 as an act of “anti-democratic coercion” by the left”; and “anti-establishment” organisations.
		To cite just one example, representatives of the Popular Party have threatened the PSOE with violent resistance to its decision on April 15 to return 3 percent of what are known as the “Salamanca Papers” to Catalonia’s political parties and trade unions, while leaving authenticated copies behind.
		In the immediate aftermath of the March 14 election, it was the small fascist groups that demanded a confrontation with the PSOE and the movement that brought it to power.

		At the height of this wave of popular opposition in 1975, he boasted: “The streets are mine.” During the “Transition to Democracy”, when Spanish capitalism was looking for other ways to prevent this popular unrest getting out of its control, such arrogant championing of repressive measures was not seen as helpful, and Fraga was sidelined.
		The PSdeG had pledged to form a coalition to remove Fraga and the party’s leader, Emilio Pérez Touriño, promised not to undertake any radical policy to achieve this end: “We have no intention of turning things on their head,” he said after the election.

		Sunday's vote took place against a background in which the right-wing government knowingly lied to the voters, claiming the perpetrators of the bombings were Basque separatists, when they knew that in all probability the catastrophe was the work of Islamic terrorists.
		To that end, the government deliberately hid evidence of a connection to Muslim terrorists and focused on ETA, the Basque separatist movement that the Spanish public is weary of and which has a lengthy history of killings and bombings—although nothing on a scale of what happened in Madrid.
		Cars in the streets were honking, and at the central HQ of the Popular Party in Madrid, thousands of people had gathered to scream, "Murderers!" Other Popular Party offices were mobbed with agitated voters.
