Twenty years after 11-M, what is former President Aznar laughing at?. The architect of the founding lie of the 'conspiracy' about the largest attack in the history of Spain, remains without rectifying it.

Aznar has clung to that statement, without the need for factual evidence, in all of his subsequent appearances. He doesn't even need to remember in detail the terms of his lie, he just needs to quote his signature message. The lie is an artifact of very varied typology. Some are capable of sailing under the radar for a long time only to explode years later.
