What has to do Cabo de Palos with Cospedal’s husband resignation?

One of the spanish top news during last march was the designation and fast resignation of María Dolores de Cospedal’s husband on a high position in Red Eléctrica Española (company controlled partially by the gorvernment). The subject was strongly criticized and Ignacio López del Hierro quit 6 hours later to a job paid with a salary of between 130 and 180 thousand euros per year. This person has a long political career: at the end of the seventies was the gorvernor of Toledo. Occupying this important position, on august of 1979 and on the middle of a summer weekend in Cabo de Palos, Lopez del Hierro gave a controversy interview that was printed nationwide. “There is water for everybody” he said, defending the water transfer Tajo-Segura, that at that time was rejected by the majority of manchegos. Back from his Cabo de Palos short vacation,  López del Hierro had to resign to his important political position.
