Former Spanish PM Aznar under fire for sticking pen down reporter's blouse
The Associated Press

Published: October 19, 2006


MADRID, Spain Former prime minister Jose Maria Aznar has been filmed sticking a pen down the front of a female reporter's blouse — an act the ruling party on Thursday called disgraceful behavior by a man who once held the Spanish government's highest post.

Aznar was attending a book presentation Tuesday in Madrid when the TV journalist, who works for a political satire program on the Cuatro channel, asked him a question about Basque politics.

Aznar finished signing a copy of the book — he had not written it — smiled and stuck the pen inside the front of reporter Marta Nebot's tight-fitting red shirt as Cuatro's camera rolled, then he walked away.

"I don't know quite how to take this, his putting the pen down my cleavage," Nebot said on the air right after Aznar departed.

The ruling Socialist party's top official for gender equality issues, Maribel Montano, laid into Aznar on Thursday, calling him sexist and demanding he apologize publicly.

Montano said Aznar's behavior was "absolutely intolerable", especially from "someone who used to hold the highest responsibility in the government of Spain."

Aznar's conservative Popular Party declined comment on the incident.

Aznar served two four-year terms before leaving office in April 2004. He now holds an honorary post in the party and runs a conservative thinktank.

Thanks for keeping us abreast of these developments.

Given that she worked for a political satire program, no doubt this was a case of tit for tat.

The dogma lives loudly within me.

Yeah, well Aznar is a boob, and most likely deserved any jokes they had made at his expense.
