Aznar denies getting French Justice minister pregnant (it was ETA)

category international | racism & migration related issues | other press author Thursday September 04, 2008 07:03author by gossip monger Report this post to the editors

The Moroccan magazine "L'observateur" published at wonderful story 2 days ago reporting that short but plucky Jose Maria Aznar, (65 years - married - 2 children) former PM of Spain, friend and ally of Bush and rightwing thinktanker is indeed the mystery expectant father to the French minister of Justice, (48 years single) Rachida Dati's, baby.

Rachida had announced her surprise pregnancy earlier this week but declined to name the daddy thus sparking speculation.

This would be the first time a prominent member of the Spanish right has had a child out of a wedlock with a half Moroccan. Rachida Dati (48 years) was spokesperson for the presidential campaign of Sarkozy prior to becoming his Justice minister, is not too old to have a baby, a mayor of a posh bit of Paris, suffers consistent accusations of being a fashion victim addicted to Dior clothing & is ultimately responsible for hardening police attitudes to migrants in France.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachida_Dati

the original report has not been retracted by its publishing stable.

http://www.lobserv.info/interne.php?reference=1125

Even though Aznar said he would sue the Moroccan magazine yesterday the story is now spreading through the continental European press and Latin American media - but is still not doing the global rumour rounds quickly enough especially considering its obvious political interest. Which is why it appears here for your widening understanding of the lifestyles and perceived inter-connections between Europe's "New Right" as well as indignation and titilation.

"A senior French minister linked romantically with President Nicolas Sarkozy during his bachelor days today confirmed she was pregnant through an unnamed lover. Rachida Dati, 42, admitted she led a "complicated private life" and that "I want to be careful because I'm still at a risky stage." It was only at the end of last year, following Mr Sarkozy's divorce from his second wife, that the Justice Minister was said to have been a girlfriend. At a New Year's Eve party Carla Bruni - also competing for the president's affections at the time - is said to have pointed at a double bed in the Elysée Palace and - turning to Miss Dati - said: "You’d have loved to occupy it, wouldn't you?" Aznar a regular visitor to the court of Sarkozy was then first introduced (pimped) to Dati at a state dinner at taxpayers' expense and subsequently was spotted more frequently in Paris. Rachida Dati had an arranged marriage in her youth that was annulled. More than half of all births in France are outside of marriage. Aznar has in a statement rounded sharply on internet liars who manipulate public opinion.

It will be a difficult to determine whether the child: looks like the short Spanish fascist or the short French fascist, displays the overbearing of the Spaniard or the Gaul, slavish dedication to the US world leadership and the free market - until it grows or doesn't grow a moustache.

The Italian gutterpress daily newspaper of reference "Corriere" is well into what it has called the "outing" & has fished out the only photo of Sarko, Celia and Rachida together. Sarko learing away at them like the pimp he is during the Shimon Perez state visit. The week Rachida probably got pregnant. The Italians are also helping Europeans remember the rumours of Aznar's marriage being on the rocks about the time Sarko's divorce came through and that's when he started looking dapper. Oh but he has not only the liar genes but the infidelity ones too. He denied shagging a newscaster in the mid 1990's too. But what really grabs the attention about this story of the rich & powerful, ugly & wicked at their games - is the transnational dimension.

Can anyone of us imagine our Taoiseach getting a Brit cabinet minister in the family way? Or for that matter Blair getting one of our token government women up the stick?

that wasn't in the Lisbon treaty.

Whether the story of Aznar fathering Rachid's baby is true or not, it is a fact that there has been a perverse relationship going on between the repression of Basque nationalists (especially left-nationalists) and of migrants by both the Spanish and French states (whether administered by parties of the "Left" or "Right".

With regard to the Basques, both states carry out the same dispersal policy towards political prisoners, sending the prisoners to jails throughout their territories but far from the prisoners' families, causing much hardship to the latter and especially to the old, sick or very young. France has in excess of 300 Basque political prisoners in its jails; Spain in excess of 500.

This grim situation, in addition to very bad prison conditions generally, has led to a number of suicides and at present there are 13 terminally or seriously ill Basque political prisoners in Spanish jails. It is set to intensify as the state collects more and more prisoners through the illegalisation of political parties, newspapers and protests and also effectively doubles the sentences of the convicted political prisoners if they refuse to renounce their allegiances.

Also, France's judiciary has been deporting Basque political refugees to Spain on the request of the latter state in the full knowledge that detainees are tortured during the period they are held incomunicado and which has been denounced annually by Amnesty International and on a number of occasions by the EU Commission Against Torture. Further, on a number of occasions the French police have handed refugees over the border to the Guardia Civil of the Spanish state without even going through the compliant French courts.

In the past, with French memories still strong of the Basques' proud record in the French Resistance against the Nazis and the Petain Government, this would not have happened, but it seems that as the EU unites against what it sees as "terrorism" , any abuse of democratic rights or questionable alliance becomes possible. One sees a parallel alignment also among many so-called liberals in Europe, including Ireland, as they question less and accept more the abuses of power and denial of civil rights.

Today the main newspapers of Spain have started to put the story on a backburner simmering on the "interests of true journalism" hob. With the exception of "El Pais" which of course was the newspaper which alligned with the internet the weekend of the March 11th Madrid bombing and exposed Aznar as a liar. They've sent the story to their "internet blog" section pursuing the "conflict of interest" angle.

The French media are stretching it out. If in the USA a teenage daughter of a rightwing candidate to vice president must be seen to marry her boyfriend before we even know if he has tattoos - then we know that the global conspiracy of free market neoliberal family values conservatism covers the worst hypocrisy we can name. The Aznar marriage went on the rocks long ago - so why the contrived family image? Does a minister of one of the most important departments in France really enjoy such an extensive right to privacy and can she simply shirk off admitting with whom she has enjoyed (or not enjoyed) a liason, so we can believe that it was not a liaison dangereux ?

You lot in Ireland get an exclusive preview now. As you know you're on the fringe of this whole issue. Your opposition to Lisbon and Sarkozy hasn't really ever gone as far as to taking a serious interest in who the social club are. I personally believe that was a mistake. But as this story continues to ask the pertinent questions on the continent and thus deflect the possiblity of a libel action against the Moroccans - I thought to exclusively preview the other suspects. You don't get into the Sarko shag club unless you're a very beautiful female or a very rich man. Aznar must have got in because of his "contacts".

François Pinault (born 21 August 1936) is a billionaire, 34th richest man in the world and is the CEO of a conglomerate of interests. Owns a majority share in Christies auction house and the Gucci fashion house. He is thus well placed to give nice furniture and nice threads as presents. He also heads up the largest private water business on the planet. Yes. He's the lad who wants to sell Africa water.

there are 2 more suspects. but this aint Hello magazine. is it?

so if it isn't pinnochio - who is the liason dangereux for EU conflict of interest?

9 months and 6 days after the gossip mongering started and was spread (I did my part)
or if you prefer 157 days since the birth of Zohra Dati, (on the 2nd of January 2009) whose mammy has refused to identify the father or even at least rule out candidates and suspects thus satisfactorily resolving legitimate worries about transnational or inter-corporative conflicts of interest -

We learn that the short but plucky & quite definitely fascist Mr Aznar has finally filed suit against L'Observateur magazine of Morrocco's director Mr Ahmed Charai.

Indeed on the very day Zohra Dati-Aznar came into this life, a French magazine aimed at the land's maghrebi communities featured the Aznar daddy story. http://www.bakchich.info/article6354.html

How amazing that I should have fished out this back article you're reading now, the other day when attempting to explain the links of glamour, fornication, hypocrisy, corruption & blatent conflict of interest which truly characterise the European Right Wing as much as Jesus, guns and well Je$us truly characterise the US right wing.

There I was! - in a comment to the revelations of Berlusconi's harem and the ex-Czech premier's semi-hard dick in the garden glibly writing " Aznar is believed to be the mystery father of leading French rightwinger and former Sarkozy girlfrield / mistress, Rachida Dati's baby not as I wrote the mystery father of Raquel Dati herself. This of course happened after a Sarko party where they were introduced and Celia demanded (it is said) that Sarko see her rival serviced and off the scene". I swear he pays attention to my rambling and ranting.... http://www.indymedia.ie/article/92599?comment_limit=0&c...53172

Now after Raquel Dati took second on the Sarkozy EU election MEP ticket & quite splendidly saw their share of the barely over 40% of franchised votes cast go up by 11.23% Aznar hits the lawsuits & I was simply waiting to see would baby Zohra Dati - Aznar grow up to have a moustache before casting more aspersions. Even if she will have a moustache I shall not judge her until she's a fascist.

By the way for anyone interested in the world of Morroccan politics and its long recognised mutual antipathy to Aznar, the defendent in this forthcoming Madrid lawsuit is one of the key confidentes of the young King of that land and is considered an intelligence insider .

sure you couldn't make this stuff up.
It wouldn't stick.
maybe it wasn't Aznar and wasn't ETA but was the Holy Ghost?
