Spain celebrates World Cup heroes' return,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Spain's soccer team returned to a jubilant nation Monday after winning the FIFA World Cup, giving Spaniards a break from months of economic gloom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], political squabbling and regions fighting to break away from the central government.
The team was received by King Juan Carlos and was heading later to meet Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero before embarking on an open-air bus ride through Madrid's historic centre, the epicentre of the celebration party for the second day in a row.
There were striking examples of cheering for Spain from unlikely places: The well-off Catalonia region that has long sought greater autonomy, and the separatist Basque region where anything pro-Spain is often shunned.
At least several hundred thousand fans were expected to line Madrid's streets to celebrate Spain's first World Cup title,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after the team beat the Netherlands 1-0 on Sunday in extra time.
Dozens of airport workers cheered from the runway as the plane, flying Spanish flags from cockpit windows, taxied to a stop while car horns could be heard honking in the distance.
A special slogan printed along the fuselage of the Iberia plane read,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Proud of our National Team. Champions."
A roar of delight rose as team captain and goalkeeper Iker Casillas stepped from the plane and raised the World Cup.
The crowd broke into chanting "Campeones, Campeones," meaning "champions." The players, wearing the team jerseys,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], walked from the plane to a waiting Spanish football federation bus.
'Helps us forget a lot of things' "It's very important, it helps us forget a lot of things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like the economic crisis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or people's domestic issues," said Javier Sanchez,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a 42-year-old photographer from Madrid.
But will the ecstasy last - could this be Spain's moment to unite under a single flag, or is it a fleeting instance of patriotism?
The country has been depressed by a debt crisis, 20 per cent unemployment and nationalist regions fighting to separate from Spain or at least win the right for much greater autonomy and near-nation status.
While the spotlight will be on Madrid when the team is cheered, the win led to a rare sight in Catalonia's regional capital of Barcelona: Spanish flags waving side-by-side with Catalonia's very own red and yellow flag.
"It has been very strange,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but now it is being tolerated,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Saray Lozano, a 31-year-old taxi driver from Barcelona who was happy for Spain's win. The team also included superstar Xabi Alonso,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from the Basque region.
In Bilbao,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Alejandro Munoz said his daughter was wearing a Spanish national team jersey on Monday, but noted that "she also has a Basque one."
"I think the celebrations in the Basque region should be seen as normal and will improve relations between the region and Spain," said Munoz, 48.
Diverse backgrounds Other Basques, like 29-year-old Aitor Elexpuru,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Spanish politicians against greater Basque autonomy would use the win for political purposes.
"A lot people wanted Spain to win so they could show the Spanish jersey and flag to those of us who don't feel Spanish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "They wanted Spain to win, but not for football."
The win, however, brought at least some Spaniards from diverse backgrounds together,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meaning the win accomplished "unfinished business for Spain, so it's been good for everyone," said Soledad Gonzalez,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 51,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a security guard from Madrid.
She added: "I hope that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], God willing, finally, the Spanish flag means being Spanish and not being a fascist, as was the case not so long ago."
During the dictatorship of Gen. Francisco Franco (1939-1975), Catalans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Basques and others were forbidden from speaking their language and it was illegal to publish books in those languages. Spain did not change its flag after become a democracy.
