in march 2005, faes presented a video that directly attacked the political left. the video claimed that the bomb attack of march 11, 2004 was a political ploy to influence the general election, which took place three days later. the video alleges that the psoe leaders, especially zapatero, skillfully used the attack to blame the pp party, divide the spanish public opinion and politically coerce voters to support the left. some leftist authors consider faes a hotbed of historical revisionism.
