DIPUTADOS QUE NO VOTAN Vale la pena conocer la página   Qué hacen los diputados - Parlamento de personas que sigue el trabajo de los diputados en el Congreso.    En el post de hoy de esta web sin ánimo de lucro, que os explican aquí , han analizado los datos de las votaciones en el Congreso de los Diputados y han elaborado un ranking de quienes han votado MENOS veces durante los 40 plenos que se han celebrado en esta décima legislatura. El ganador es  Rajoy (aquí saltando hilillos del Prestige) seguido por Ana Pastor, ministra de Fomento, y Maite Ariztegui (AMAIUR).

And, all of a sudden, I couldn't see it anymore. Sight had only given me a little problem before, when I took up photography. Once I was using what was then a modern camera, property of my uncle, and I couldn't focus on the tiny red numbers on the right inside the viewer, showing the 28- 56- 128- 256 angle lenses.
