Denying "the allegations of a crook", PM Rajoy refuses to resign In his address to the Parliament of Spain, Prime Minister Rajoy appeared feisty, eager to defend himself against "the unsound allegations of a crook". The PM had indeed to justify of his pretented knowledge concerning the People's Party financing system, in the center of a tremendous scandal of corruption and bribery. Mariano Rajoy did not give any credit to the testimony of Luis Barcenas, the former PP treasurer who kept a financing double-ledger system. Moreover, the PM reaffirmed his decision not to resign, and to help the Spanish economy in its recovery.
