Spain: Links Between Spanish Banking Scandal and Anti Cuban Groups

Havana, May 20 (Prensa Latina) Spanish banker Miguel Blesa, former president of Caja de Madrid, accused of fraud, might be associalted to illegal businesses with former Spanish president Jose Maria Aznar and leaders of anti Cuban groups based in Miami, said the local press here Monday.

An article was published Monday in Cuban newspaper Granma by journalist Jean-Guy Allard, in which it is said that Miguel Blesa, a man who paid 2.5 million euros as bail after one night in prison, made a successful financial career because of his association with leaders of the Spanish Popular Party (PP).

The source said that Blesa was the man who personally directed the purchase of the City National Bank of Florida by Caja de Madrid, an operation in which a huge multi-million price was paid, so big, that called the attention of judicial authorities, and Jose Maria Aznar was also involved.

Aznar built an alliance with the Cuban American National Foundation, a counterrevolutionary organization that gave Aznar generous campaign funds.

Aznar has been completely close to Jeb Bush, as well as George W. Bush, and the entire Bush family has been tight with the "exiles" going back to BEFORE the Bay of Pig invasion to which George H. W. Bush contributed 2 of his own boats.

The exiles have been involved not only in terrorism against Cuba, and Iran-Contra, but also domestically in Watergate, and other crimes for the US government, assassinations, Viet Nam, etc., etc.

This information fits naturally, and perfectly. Jeez.
