Two years ago, the conservative government of Mariano Rajoy criticized his socialist predecessor Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero for adopting this immoral policy.
However, the Castro brothers have now taken a Spanish hostage:
Angel Carromero, the young politician accompanying Cuban dissident leader Oswaldo Paya during the tragic car crash that took his life.
The regime is now charging Carromero with vehicular homicide -- a charge that even Paya's family contends.
As such, the Spanish government has decided to succumb to every whim of the Castro regime in the hopes of dictatorial leniency for Carromero, who remains unjustly imprisoned.
Last week, a Spanish business delegation visited with the Castro regime to "strengthen ties" -- even though Spain's economy is on the brink of collapse (not to mention Castro's) -- and now they've turned their backs on the island's dissident movement.
Ironic, as supposedly, Carromero was originally in Cuba to support Paya and other dissidents.
Yet, that's why the Castros take hostages.
And tragically, Spain's weak reaction is exactly why they'll continue doing so.
