A Spanish initiative to declare June27 as the “Day for the Victims of terrorism” has been approved by Congress and new laws concerning victims are expected in Spain in the not too distant future.The need for the new law has come about since it was discovered that an Ecuadorian woman ,who was not on a train when it was bombed in Madrid,she received Spanish nationality,public housing,several thousand euros and a medal,fraudulently.Her case is to be brought before the Attorney general via the Ministry of the Interior.
The sixth anniversary of the Madrid bombings ,where 192 people lost their lives and over 2000 people were injured at the hands of Islamic extremists,has just taken place.The PP leader in madrid,Esperanza Aguirre laid a wreath in the Puerta del Sol,accompanied by victims´ association representitives.At the City hall councillors also laid flowers.
In Congress the declaration of Human Rights was read and King juan carlos met with the victims at the Zarzuela Palace in the evening.
