This morning tho, the assholes were trying to go on with the purchase alleging that breaking the contract would mean to pay a penalty (without saying what the penalty would be). After the other parties in the coalition started throwing threats of leaving the government, seems the penalty suddenly became a non issue.

I wrote this in another thread, but it fits also here: It's good that they don't buy, but Spain just signed a contract with China's Huawei to provide digital storage systems for its law enforcement and intelligence agency provide digital storage systems for its law enforcement and intelligence. So I feel it's a Spanish hypocrisy here.
