Government spokesman retaliates to Javier Bardem's criticisms
BOND villain Javier Bardem's criticism of the reigning PP government has attracted a hostile response from the party's congress spokesman, Rafael Hernando, who says: “All that's rich coming from a millionaire who lives in Miami.”
Bardem (pictured) said in a recent press interview that the unacceptably-high unemployment levels in Spain were 'very convenient' to the government, since it allowed them to impose 'terrible' working conditions.
He says the government “has a total lack of any commitment to the social and public systems.”
To this, Hernando retaliated on Twitter by stating: “You'd have to be a 'great villain', and not just on screen, to claim that so much unemployment is convenient to the government.”
Just a few weeks ago, Hernando famously called the National Court judge Santiago Pedraz an 'anarchist snob' on Twitter for referring to the 'convenient decadence of the so-called political class' when he threw out the case involving investigations into the cause of the huge nationwide protests on September 25.
The Congress PP spokesman later excused himself on Twitter for his comments aimed at the judge for 'any possible offence', although he did not remove the statement from his page.
