Terrorism seen as Spain's biggest problem: survey


Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:31AM EST

MADRID (Reuters) - Spaniards see terrorism as Spain's biggest problem after
Basque separatists ETA killed two people in a bombing of Madrid's
international airport in December, a poll showed.

Attacks by groups such as ETA and Islamist militants replaced unemployment
as Spain's biggest problem in the poll published by the CIS research firm.

Terrorism has ranked behind concerns like unemployment and immigration in
CIS polls dating back to 2005.

Spaniards' concern about terrorism returned to levels similar to those of
2004 when Islamist militants exploded bombs on Madrid commuter trains,
killing 191 people, the poll showed.

The Madrid airport car bombing was ETA's first deadly attack in over three
years. It occurred during a nine-month ceasefire by the group which has
killed over 800 people in its four-decade struggle for an independent Basque
homeland.

The poll showed support for Spain's socialist government, in a peace process
with ETA at the time of the airport bombing, fell to its lowest level of
38.8 percent, down from 39.3 percent in October.

Spain's opposition conservative Popular Party, which opposes the
government's peace process, saw its backing fall to 37.6 percent from 37.9
percent, according to the poll conducted between January 22 and 31.

That shrunk the socialists' lead over the Popular Party to its narrowest
margin since Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero took office in
2004.
