The Socialist Party is a contradiction not more than. Back and torn between the supporters of a respectful secularism, religious expression and an electorate jammed by the fear of "Islamization," in addition to the usual political practice the Socialist Government showed June 6, his contradictions any yesterday, Thursday.
