Oh, good idea. I remember when you did one on another subject (on which I knew much more).

I'll perhaps answer to it later tonight, but I don't know much about España.

It will be pretty bad, but, hey, why not trying?

1. José Luis Zapatero, PSOE

2. A Senate and a Chamber of the Deputies, I suppose. Which would translate as Senato y Camara de los Deputados, in Spanish.

3. Rajoy, PP.

4. I counted 17, but there is some blanks in the middle of my mental map.

5. PSOE, PP, IU and the awful UPyD?

6. José Maria Aznar.

7. Franco, whose first name is not coming in my mind right now.

8. Europe likes appointment by regional legislatures, so I'll try that.

9. From the provinces. I'll say 52, but, that is a wild guess (or a very good memory to retain things not very useful).

10. 3?

11. I'll pass, really.

12. It is the government of Calalunya/Catalonia/Catalogne.

13. The President of the Regional Governement of País Vasco/Basque Country/Euskadi.

14. 1923? It stands for the independance of Euskadi by all means avaliable, including terrorism.

15. How that guy was named again? Suárez?

16. That Suárez guy, Zapatero, Asnar and I don't know.

17. Veintitrés de Febrero (February 23rd). It is the day where some officer killed Franco? I'm probably very far of truth.

18. No idea. Only Jose Maria Gil Robles rings me a bell, and I can't remember from where. Something with European Union? An European Commissioner, I would guess.

19. No idea. Práxedes is a cool first name, though.

20. That region that sounds like Extreme, my memory says to me. Extremadure? I was to say Andalousia, but that would be too easy.

21. The Navarre? I was to say Euskadi, but that would be too easy.

22. 1974 (just before Franco death), in Perpignan (it is near Spain)? Big guess. If not, it must be one of the annoying suburbs of Paris. But I keep my Perpignan.

23. The Búnker was the inner circle of Franco, I suppose. I don't know the aperturistas, but from the name, I suppose they wanted to open the regime, to bring some democracy. I suppose than Juan Carlos 1st was one of them.

24. Batasuna and PNV?? First one prefered war and was banned, second one prefered peace and democracy and launched into politics.

25. La Junta Democrática was an alliance of the main political parties which managed, with the King, the transition to a complete democracy.

26. I know, in part! The number 2 of the Franco regime. An Admiral, which whose name is not coing to me right now. If I remember well, that event was very important as he was widely seen as the successor of Franco.

27. EA. I think it is a pacifist left-wing party.

28. The election of the first PSOE government? Navarra, Euskadi, Calalunya and Valencia?

29. No idea. I don't like cafe, too.

30. See 24, I suppose than this split happened at some time. They split way too much.

31. Let's try 1931, la Falangia, Franco and someone else.

32. Picasso?

33. No idea.

34. Let's try.
Catalogna: PSC, PP, ERC, CiU, IpC
Euskadi: PNV, EA, Aralat, PSOE, PP.
Galicia: PSOE, PP, IU.
Madrid: PSOE, PP, IU, UPyD
Aragon: PSOE, PP, IU, UPyD
Castille-Léon: PSOE, PP, IU, UPyD
Navarre: PSOE, PP, UPN.

35. Madrid? Statute of Empowerment?

36. Yes.
