Power play

Article Abstract:

Elections are scheduled for Mar 2000 in Spain, where the Socialists have set up a link with United Left, and the conservative, Jose Maria Aznar, points to lower unemployment and political stability during his time in power. Aznar heads the People's party, while the socialist leader is Joaquin Almunia. Aznar has a slight lead in opinion polls which could be eroded by the pact between the socialists and United Left. The pact would mean tackling some differences in the two partes' economic policies.
