		The legislature of the Kingdom of Spain, the Cortes Generales, consists of a lower house, the Congreso de los Diputados or Congress of Deputies, and an upper house, the Senado or Senate.
		In December, the Spanish electorate voted overwhelmingly in favor of a Political Reform Law approved in November by the Cortes, which provided for the election of a popularly elected bicameral legislature composed of a Congress of Deputies and a Senate.
		Therefore, the number of votes required to win a seat in Congress varies significantly from constituency to constituency: in the 2004 general election, the number of votes needed to win a seat ranged from a low of 14,593 in Soria (15,941 in 2000) to a high of 92,743 in Madrid (85,267 in 2000).

	GRANMA INTERNAtIONAL DIGITAL, CUBA ENGLISH
		In a speech to the U.S. Congress this Wednesday – described in Madrid as "humiliating for Spain" – Aznar unscrupulously defended the bloody military aggression of Iraq by the White House, and was unable to conceal his profound hatred for Cuba, evidently inherited from his colonialist ancestors.
		The rest of the chamber was filled with members and invited guests of the Spanish delegation, Congress scholarship students and the Congress media.
		Journalists and the political media in Madrid believe that the current Spanish parliamentary leader would like to see U.S. aggression against Cuba and the island returned to what it was when the Spanish handed it over to the United States at the end of the 19th century.

	New Statesman: The most idiotic quarrel on earth - Gibraltar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		On 14 March, before the assembled Congress in Madrid, the Spanish foreign minister, Josep Pique, warned that Britain was contemplating "a hostile act of the utmost gravity" that would lead to "a serious deterioration" in Hispano-British relations.
		The reason why the Spanish are suddenly throwing their toys out of the cot is that, while they smell an opportunity to cash in at last on that little legal proviso, they suspect perfidious Albion will renege on the deal.
		No one in the Spanish Congress felt compelled at this point to draw the foreign minister's attention to any one of the many absurdities in the position he has taken, presumably because every Spanish government since Franco has done the same.

		Kimberly, an ethical vegetarian since age 11, who got the support and respect of her parents at that early age, and Sergio, are a living example that, whatever our handicaps, all that is required to evolve as human beings is to develop our innate sense of compassion and solidarity with all living beings.

	News from Spain: Spanish troops to go to Haití and Afghanistan
		The Spanish president took advantage of the debate yesterday to announce his intention to change Spanish law, making it absolutely necessary for governments to seek the approvement of Congress before making the decision to participate in military and peace missions abroad.
		One of the reasons ex-president Aznar was criticised by so many sectors of Spanish society for his decision to involve Spain in the US-led invasion of Iraq was because he failed to seek the support of Parliament beforehand.
		All parties, except the PP, supported this motion yesterday, and the new law is expected to be passed in the coming weeks.
