Spain Papers Review - Friday August 1 2008

Hugo Chávez, José Ignacio de Juana Chaos, and water on Mars dominate the Spanish front pages today.
El Mundo leads with the bombshell statement from the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez. ‘We are going to nationalise the Banco Santander in Venezuela’.
El Mundo notes that the statement comes only six days after meeting with King Juan Carlos in Palma de Mallorca and with Zapatero in Madrid. Chávez said he would put the bank ‘at the service of the Venezuelan people.
El PaÃs notes that Santander has 12% of the business in the Latin American country, and made 109 million € in the first half of the year there.
El Periódico de Catalunya headlines that Cháves treaty with Spain lasted only six days.
El Mundo notes that Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, the Interior Minister, has warned the ETA prisoner, José Ignacio de Juana Chaos, who is released tomorrow, that he will not tolerate it if he offends the victims of ETA. The paper reports that his ministry is drawing up a report on the possible six crimes which the terrorist could make when he leaves jail.
ABC has a graphic front page on De Juana Chaos release and prints photos of his 25 victims. Arrested in 1987, the paper notes that under the Penal Code at the time, he has now served less than a year in prison per killing, benefitting from controversial reductions in his sentence.
El Mundo has a front page photo of the Minister for Industry, Miguel Sebastian, not wearing a tie, and holding up a low power light bulb. The Minister says it is difficult, but the only way forward is to convince the people that savings are the way to face the petrol crisis. It comes as the paper reports that inflation and higher interest rates are making the Spanish even poorer.
ABC comments that the Government goes on holiday with historic increases in both inflation and the Euribor.
El PaÃs headlines with money and says that the Euribor rate, prices, and unemployment, have dampened the start of the holidays, and that Spain has become the country with most unemployment in the EU. Inflation has jumped to 5.3% in July.
Some are making money though. El Mundo notes that the 92 directors in Fenosa will make 800,000 on average in ten days with stock options.
El PaÃs has a photo of Radovan Karadzic who appeared in the War Crimes Court in The Hague yesterday. The paper notes his statement to the court that he formed a pact on his immunity in 1996, and that his disappearance was agreed with the United States at the time. He described his arrest in Belgrade as a kidnapping.
El PaÃs tells us that the Chinese authorities have been telling the people of Beijing how to respond to questions from the foreign press. The paper says the Government has given courses in numerous companies explaining what should be said in case they are asked.
La Vanguardia leads with the story and considers that China has asked its people to change some customs for the games.
Back in Madrid, El Mundo reports that the Civil Guard is investigating a video which shows the brutal beating up suffered by a young Ecuadorian woman in Colemarjeo.
El Mundo has a photo of two Barcelona football players, Jorquera and Puyol, who yesterday got back of an Air Berlin flight from Italy to the United States because the airline did not make the pre-take off announcements in Catalan. The company thinks the team has refused to fly with them because of their policy of resisting to teach the language to their staff.
And finally,
El Mundo reports that NASA has confirmed that there is water on Mars. ‘We have finally touched it, we have proved it’. ABC says it’s thanks to the Phoenix probe.
