The Spaniard magazine, a virtual media between politics, fashion and society in the European country, said that the “brand” president (as the magazine wrote), dressed up a design of the Colombian Miguel Caballero, a very popular fashion designer in Latin America and specialized in bulletproof vests.

For his security, there was not only the shielded limousine, but many other measures to protect a president who likes to be among the people, something that makes more difficult his protection.

To design a bulletproof vest is not just create a strong material like the Middle Age armors. It must be slight to avoid easy movement, for example in a dance.

Although the secret service did not confirmed the information to the Spaniard magazine, it speculates that the vest should be made with a material similar to Kevlar, able to resist a shoot of 9 millimeters.

During the dance at the White House, Obama wore a custom gala, also made by the same material.

The comment of elconfidencial.com ended with an appreciation for the work of Caballero with a little fun:

By the way, this Colombian has an infallible control of quality: he shoots an employee to proof the quality of the final product.

The government of Rodríguez Zapataro kept a prudent distance from the government of president George Bush. Zapatero analyzed the first speech of Obama in his possession as president of the United States. The Spaniard president said that the idea of the reduction of the role of the State in the public sector was a dogma of the US policies. In his opinion, Obama has a sign of identity of pure social democracy that is Liberalism in US terms and that defers from what it is in Europe.

Guantanamo, a place under the US administration in the Cuban island, has 250 prisoners captured in Iraq and Afghanistan as suspects of terrorism. The prison was a part of the Bush program against global terrorism. Guantanamo became a black spot in the foreign US relations. Several organizations have accused US of torture and violation of the human rights in Guantanamo.

Although many of the prisoners have been classified as real dangerous, most of them have not charges. If any of them could be linked to a criminal activity, their ruling would be declared illegal because most of them have been tortured.

The discussion about Guantanamo will be at its high level next 26 of January when the foreign ministries of the European Union will talk about the issue.
