Real Madrid 'recover' La Moncloa

Who knows at this point if Real Madrid will be able to grab the title and Champions League to Barcelona, ​​but we do know is that whites return to 'reign' in the Palacio de la Moncloa after seven and a half year presidency Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. For Mariano Rajoy is a known supporter of Madrid, while Barcelona is Zapatero.

We say that recovers because the political predecessor in the presidency of Leon, the Spanish Government, José María Aznar, is also a loyal fan of all Chamartín. Aznar in turn took over from Felipe González, pro Betis as their once inseparable Alfonso Guerra.

As the first president of the Spanish democracy, Adolfo Suárez, no known 'weaknesses' football but it is also true that the stage of Avila Real bears his name. It should be recalled that Suarez was born in the town of Avila Cebreros, although raised in the beautiful walled city.

His successor in office, Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo, had no such affiliation was much sport as a music lover. In fact, playing the piano.

So much respect to the five presidents he has known so far the young Spanish democracy.

Colors autonomic
If we enter the state or provincial politics, the picture is, of course, much more refiner but also a bit slippery, because some politicians hide their colors to avoid hurting sensibilities.

It certainly does Patxi Lopez. The lehendakari is a faithful follower of the Athletic and boasts of it at every opportunity. His counterpart in the Community of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, has not categorically said although his constant compliments Jose Mourinho can give us more of a track.

Artur Mas, president of the Generalitat, Barcelona is through and through. In fact, it is difficult to find Catalan politicians declare that no Barca's supporters. Among the few 'rebels' include the former leader of the Catalan Community Popular in Alberto Fernandez Diaz, Espanyol fan.

Curious is the case of the Andalusian president, José Antonio Griñán. The socialist politician born in Madrid and kept alive their love for Atletico but at the 'local' is aligned with its predecessors Manuel Chavez and Jose Rodriguez of the Borbolla, both diabetics.

It is also a football fan Alberto Fabra, president of the Generalitat Valenciana, defending the colors of his hometown team, Castellón. Francisco Camps, however, was from Valencia.

The list, in short, would be almost infinite, almost like politicians in Spain. Of course, if you want to add your two cents in the comments, you are welcome.
