Spain's opposition leader vows tough measures - by Virginie Grognou

AFP reports that the leader of Spain's main opposition conservative party on Saturday vowed a rigorous program to get the country out of its economic crisis if elected in legislative elections in November.

Popular Party leader Mariano Rajoy, the front-runner in the election, set out the broad lines of his policy in a speech closing his party's annual convention in Malaga, southern Spain.

He paid particular attention to the country's record unemployment levels, running at 20.89 percent of the workforce, and promised to make job creation a priority if elected.
