Spanish Parliament Rejects Right-wing Anti-Cuba Proposal

Havana, Nov 29(acn) The Foreign Affairs commission of the Spanish 
Parliament rejected a motion proposed by the right-wing Popular Party 
(PP) to hinder bilateral relations between Spain and Cuba.

Several groups within the Parliament, such as the PSOE (Socialist 
Workers Party of Spain) and the IU (United Left), rejected the PP 
initiative, reports Prensa Latina News Agency.

During the session, the leader of the IU coalition, Gaspar Llamazares, 
said he disagrees with the approach and the essence of the proposal, 
which he considered complies with the anti-Cuban US attempts to prompt 
controversy and ignore the sovereignty of the Caribbean country.

The spokeswoman of the socialist group, Maritxell Batet opposed the 
PP's critical position towards the relations of the Spanish government 
with Cuba, and called it a "party political maneuvering" to use the 
human rights topic to generate confrontation.
