Logo Del PP (2022)
A logo (abbreviation of logotype; ) is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name that it represents, as in a wordmark. In the days of hot metal typesetting, a logotype was one word cast as a single piece of type (e.g. "The" in ATF Garamond), as opposed to a ligature, which is two or more letters joined, but not forming a word. By extension, the term was also used for a uniquely set and arranged typeface or colophon. At the level of mass communication and in common usage, a company's logo is today often synonymous with its trademark or brand.Wheeler, Alina.

All 350 seats in the Congress of Deputies were up for election, as well as 208 of 259 seats in the Senate. At four years since the previous election, the 2000 general election ended the longest legislative period up to that point since the Spanish transition to democracy.

1998 PSOE Prime Ministerial Primary
A primary election was held on Friday, 24 April 1998, to elect the Prime Minister of Spain, prime ministerial nominee of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) for the 2000 Spanish general election. Following the 1997 PSOE congress, former several times minister Joaquín Almunia became new party leader succeeding former prime minister Felipe González, who surprisingly announced during the congress' opening that he would not be running for re-election as PSOE secretary-general. González's succession process was perceived as rushed and the result of a pact between party elites, prompting Almunia to propose a primary election as a way to legitimize his leadership. Former Ministry of Development (Spain), public works minister Josep Borrell, who for years had been the subject of speculation as one of González's possible successors, also announced his run in the primary. The election resulted in the party's grassroots unexpectedly backing Borrell over Almunia, but the latter re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
