Last Days of the Republic, Spanish Edition

A founder of Spain’s rising anti-establishment party was shot in the face in an attempted assassination yesterday.

Jose Calvo Sotello, assassinated 1936.

Perhaps this assassination in Spain was just a couple of nuts acting for idiosyncratic reasons–Mr. Quadras-Vidal appears to no longer be as politically prominent as he once was–in which case it portends nothing.  Perhaps not.
