_The ruling Popular Party’s internal accounting between 1990 and 2008, to which EL PAÍS has had access, shows that the conservative grouping’s leading members were paid regular sums of money aside from their official salaries. The files, kept by former PP treasurers Álvaro Lapuerta and Luis Bárcenas, comprise a series of incoming items in the form of donations from companies, especially construction firms, and outgoing expenses, which include the payments to party leaders.
Among those who received payments on the side, according to the accounts kept by Bárcenas, is Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. The PP president first appears listed in 1997, with sums of money next to his name that consistently add up to 25,200 euros a year, divided either in quarterly or six-monthly payments, and continuing up to 2008._
Popular Party is the eternal ally of the catholic churc, the same party that used and still uses homophobia to win votes, the same party that preaches austerity to everyone, specially for those who rely on public services, the same party who blames everyone for ruining this country but themselves.

unfortunately spain is not alone in scandals… most of the actual euro zone leaders have deep problems with corruption... the portuguese one for starter... just look to his CV and die laughing, and the ministers... now even the germans have problems apparently... This with also the voices of some politicians which are anti gay marriage and want to abolish it again, and with the rise of gay deaths by murder... I said it once and I say it again, people should look to europe and pression up their governments not to screw it up humanitarially
