The Unified Police Syndicate (SUP) has denounced the Socialist mayor of Seville, Alfredo Sánchez Monteseirín, for sending his official car to Barcelona (some1,100 km) to pick him up from the airport when he arrived to attend the final of the King's Cup between Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla Fútbol Club.  In its monthly circular, the SUP asks: Are there no taxis in Barcelona? Is it humiliating for a mayor to use a taxi?” It goes on: “We wouldn't mind if it had been his car and he paid for the petrol himself, but its our taxes that pay for it.” The SUP uses its circular to award or take away points from politicians and high-ranking members of the security forces.

In the circular, it compares Prime Minister José Luis Rodroguez Zapater's U-turn on the economy with his failed talks with the Basque terrorist group ETA: “He insisted there was no crisis then PUUUM, just like Barajas on December 30, 2006, the day after he'd said the talks were going well.”

On that date, an ETA car bomb demolished the T4 car park at Barajas airport.
