Fluid. According to the sources consulted, the mayor plans to run in the 2011 municipal elections, win them, and then retire halfway through the term, or even before, and hand over the baton of command to botella. Gallardón assumes that it will be much easier for ana botella to gain the trust and vote of the people of madrid in the following elections after having seen her sitting for a certain time in the municipal seat and developing her management as mayor. The sources to which ecd has had access also report that ruiz-gallardón does not anticipate, at the moment, any more political movements than those mentioned here. As for his vice mayor, manuel cobo , sources comment that he has linked his future to the future of the mayor , that he feels much more comfortable in the role of manager than in a leadership role that he does not aspire to, and that, furthermore, due to his family fortune, he is not a man who is obliged to look for paid work.His last message came in the wee hours of the morning. Since that moment, the aid worker's activity on the social network has stopped and his family and colleagues from the ngo are waiting to contact manuel tapial.
El confidencial digital has had access to the activist's latest messages in which he recounts in first person how the assault on the mavi marmara ship was taking place: -- around three in the morning yesterday, manuel warned that "Three zodiacs approach Special Database the mavi marmara for inspection and leave. It seems increasingly clear that they will not wait until daylight to board us." in the following message the aid worker states “a helicopter is approaching the ship” -- after this communication, tapial reports the last hour on the boat " 14 israeli ships surround the fleet for the freedom of gaza ." after the message, the spanish activist uploads his last part of the story online: “the data is that 14 israeli ships illegally surround the fleet, in addition to having a wide deployment of helicopters, zodiacs and a wide deployment of journalists in their ships to publish their propaganda.” this communication was the last one from the cooperator on the social network. From that moment on, the ngo and the family have tried to communicate with manuel and with the other two spanish collaborators, laura arau, secretary of the organization in catalonia, and the valencian journalist david segarra soler, collaborator of the venezuelan network telesur.
This morning manuel tapial's father declared to a national radio station that " now he himself is dead, or he is injured or detained ." information from the qatari channel al jazeera, which had a television team inside the ship, indicates that the ship slowed down during the night yesterday to try to avoid a nighttime confrontation. In the network's broadcast of the assault, pleas from the activists can be heard asking " do not attack us, we are unarmed civilians ." these requests were ignored by the israeli army, which fired gas at them and fired live ammunition. Turkish television, together with al jazeera, was able to broadcast images from the ship in which manuel tapial was traveling to gaza. The aid convoy consisted of six ships, three of them turkish, and was carrying more than 10,000 tons of humanitarian aid to the gaza strip. According to the members of the 'freedom flotilla', none of the crew members were armed . Israel's version maintains that the activists took their weapons and shot them. The result of this attack, so far, is 14 dead and more than 70 injured. Between all the boats there are more than 700 activists from 50 different countries.
