Spain shows its true colors on Cuba

I will make this as simple as I can, so you can understand who's who, and what's what, so you won't be confused again.

Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos goes to Havana to talk nice with government officials, and refuses to meet with the wives, mothers, sisters, etc. of political prisoners unjustly jailed by the Castro dictatorship.

The wives of two of five Cuban intelligence convicted in American courts — complete with due process, the right to appeal, etc. — of espionage go to Madrid, and get an audience with the aforementioned Spanish foreign minister.

Any more questions about where Spain stands on Cuba?
