Feature discusses the Spanish politician Rosa Díez, a former Socialist and lone parliamentary deputy for Unión Progreso y Democracia (UPyD)(Union, Progress and Democracy), a small centrist party she co-founded in 2007 – who tops the rankings of the most recent CIS opinion poll in Spain. She hopes to do well in regional and local elections this year and next and become a political force to be reckoned with in big cities across Spain. In common with economists and Spanish business leaders, she believes that devolution – with the regions accounting for half of government spending – has made it too hard to narrow the budget deficit and solve the economic crisis. |
