Spain takes its place in the imperialist war against Libya http://www.wsws.org/articles/2011/mar2011/span-m30.shtml

The Spanish parliament voted last week in favour of Spanish military intervention in Libya with 336 in favour, just 3 against and 1 abstention.The parties voting in favour were the ruling Partido Socialista Obrero Español (Socialist Workers Party of Spain—PSOE), the main opposition Partido Popular (Popular Party—PP), Convergència I Unió (CiU), Partido Nacionalista Vasco (Basque Nationalist Party—PNV), Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (Catalan Republican Left—ERC) and Unión Progreso y Democracia (Unity Progress and Democracy—UPyD).Those voting against were Izquierda Unida (IU—United Left) and the Bloque Nacionalista Gallego (BNG—Galician Nationalists).Prime Minister José Luis Zapatero repeated the barrage of lies accompanying the military assault on Libya. “We are in Libya to defend the citizens from the attacks from their own Libyan forces”, he claimed, adding this is a “humanitarian principle” whose “objective is to warn him [Gaddafi] that he must stop using arms against his people and that the international community is willing to use force.”
