The Justification for Greed
“If you ask the standard Spaniard on the street, even today, the average Spaniard will say to you, hold on a minute – he fed us…”
Michelle Euesden uses corrupt Marbella Mayor Jesús Gil to justify her greed.
Morgan’s reply, the highlight of the show, sums it up perfectly.
“Well of course he did, but he was creating an entirely false market, where they’re all on the take, right, and black money was everywhere, no one payed any tax, and you all made a fortune…”

I should also add, that having asked my “standard” Spanish colleagues at work, what the “standard Spaniard” thinks of Jesús Gíl, I have been told that the Euesdens couldn’t be more wrong about it. The general consensus, unless you’re a rich man who directly benefited from his crimes, Mr Gíl is a hated man.
The only good thing he contributed was the Dali sculptures below the alameda plaza…. nice as it is to have em there.. doesn’t really cut it does it?!
true, the Dali statues are lovely, as are many of the other squares and parks around Marbella… shame they cost such corruption to achieve…
