El País on corruption case in Valencia

Will the "Popular Party" head of government of the autonomous region of Valencia, Francisco Camps, finally step down? That is a question for many editorialists today. He was recently re-elected with an absolute majority but if the accusations against him are true, he should go, and quickly - otherwise the image of his party that looks forward to winning next year's general elections in Spain will be tarnished. The article from El País with the headline "Valencian premier to stand trial for accepting suits as gifts" is here.

Addition Aug. 9: shortly after the publication of the entry above, Camps stepped down as the regional premier. El País has more on the subject under the headline "Gürtel tapes show ring bribed PP politicians", here.
