Rodriguez Zapatero asked not releasing photos of their daughters

In circles close to Zapatero's indignation was evident yesterday by the spread of a photograph of his two daughters and the storm it has generated on the Internet where images have been circulated and comments 'cruel and insulting' to them, according to the sources. However, would not comment on the possibility of legal action, under the Child Protection Act, alleging that the president has given no indication.

The image broadcast by some means corresponds to a reception on Wednesday evening at the Metropolitan Museum in New York by U.S. President Barack Obama to those attending the UN General Assembly. As one can see Obama and his wife Michelle next to Zapatero, Sonsoles Espinosa and two daughters, ages 15 and 13 and therefore underage.

The photograph was hanging on its website by the U.S. Secretary of State. UU. alongside those of other leaders attended the reception and take an hour and a half later, approximately, following a request of Moncloa. Although the White House withdrew the picture, it was downloaded by some confidential and began circulating the Internet.

Previously, the EFE news agency had taken a picture of the two girls in the gallery of the UN General Assembly, attending Obama's speech on climate change last Tuesday, but the state agency decided not to distribute to its subscribers.

The controversy had started when known the presence of the two daughters of Zapatero in the plane which went to official Spanish delegation to New York last Monday. Moncloa sources explained that Zapatero will have a busy schedule this fall and official wanted to spend as much time as possible with his family. His wife, Sonsoles, could not travel on Monday, so they arrived in New York the next day commercial flight.

Moncloa spokesmen claimed that the cost of the passage of the daughters in the Air Force plane is zero, since the party was small and many seats remained unfilled. We also recall that Aznar took his children in at least four official trips, and nobody questioned it.

On Friday, Alba and Laura, as they are called the daughters ofthe president, were detained in a hotel in Pittsburgh, pending the finalization of the summit of the G-20 to return to Madrid. Meanwhile, his mother was involved in the parallel program organized by Michelle Obama to couples of agents, something which is unusual in the wife of the Prime Minister.

Daughters of Zapatero like all boys his age, are regulars to the Internet. No one has assessed the damage that can make everything that is being said about them, lamented the same sources.
