Financial Times - Veteran Spanish politician Fraga dies, Jan 16, 2012

"Manuel Fraga, a right-wing Spanish politician who successfully straddled the Franco era and the liberal democracy launched after the dictator’s death, died on Sunday night at the age of 89.
Fraga was best known in recent years as the éminence grise of the centre-right Popular party, the precursor of which he founded in 1976 during the political transition after Franco’s demise. The PP is now in power under Mariano Rajoy, prime minister, after defeating the Socialists in the November general election."
