How anyone could deface the poster of a missing child is utterly beyond my comprehension.
No matter their feelings about her parents, it was in my opinion a despicable act.
I didn't know very much about Mari Luz's tragically short life or the alleged controversy regarding the
"missing" poster campaign.
So I thought it best to return to source in the Spanish newspapers of the time.
Mari Luz's father does not strike me as the type of person to be walked over ... galvanised by her disappearance, he took a leaf out of Kate and Gerry's book and raised money to search for her as well as later to campaign against the glitch in Spanish law which had allowed her murderer his freedom to assault Mari Luz.
Having become politically active he made his own enemies perhaps (inclusion in nasty blogs etc) ... so maybe we have a case of two birds in a propaganda war here??
If the story of the disagreement is a fact ... it didn't make much of an impression on Spanish MSM and if it did I couldn't find it.
Which raised the question in my mind about the type and nature of the propaganda projected against Madeleine's parents some of which seems to feature the use or misuse of Madeleine's posters.
