El rotativo británico The Economist no deja a Zapatero en buen lugar en un artículo titulado ¿Crisis? ¿What crisis? :
It does not help that the government keeps denying that it faces a crisis. The finance minister, Pedro Solbes, refuses to utter the word “crisis” at all. Mr Zapatero told the daily El País that its use was “a matter of opinion”. They are supported by Banco Santander’s president, Emilio Botín, who compares the fraught state of the economy with a child’s fever: dramatic, but short-lived. Yet crisis may be too bland a word: many economists think “recession” will soon be more appropriate. Mr Solbes admits that second-quarter growth will be below the first quarter’s paltry 0.3%. His prediction of 2008 growth is now somewhere “below” 2%. On July 2nd a defiant Mr Zapatero told parliament he did not believe recession was coming.
En la viñeta, el toro de la recesión arrastra a Zapatero mientras éste se recrea en la victoria de la selección.
