\"Ryanair
\nRyanair withdwaws Zapatero publicity campaign after the advert published in the Spanish press yesterday received wide criticism<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spanish president Jos\u00e9 Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was for one day the star of the latest Ryanair publicity campaign. In allusion to the Spanish government’s recent decision to give mothers 2.500 euros per newborn<\/a>, the full-page advert, published in several national newspapers yesterday, had a photo of the Spanish Prime Minister and the slogan: What is better? Two million free flight seats or 2500 euros for every newborn baby?. <\/em> <\/p>\n

The advert was received with general surprise in Spain yesterday, and Ryanair was criticised by some analysts for using the image of Zapatero without his consent. Government sources confirmed that they were \u00absurprised\u00bb that the company had used a photo of the Spanish PM without having sought permission beforehand, but they said that the government did not find the advert offensive and would not be taking legal action against the cheap flight company. <\/p>\n

Maribel Rodr\u00edguez, the head of Rynanair in Espa\u00f1a and Portugal told media yesterday that the company just wanted to make a joke which is why the image of Zapatero was used, but that it was not their intention to ridicule the Spanish president or government policy, nor to offend anyone. In the press note released in the morning, Rodriguez wrote: \u2018we don\u2019t want to make fun of anyone and we just wanted to have an amusing advertising campaign to publicise a fantastic offer\u00bb. Rodr\u00edguez said that she was sorry that the advertisement had been misunderstood by some and seen as making fun of the government\u2019s economic assistance and said that \u2018we are an airline not politicians\u2019. <\/p>\n

Later on in the day, Ryanair said it would be withdrawing the advert and said that its objective – to catch people’s attention with a bit of humour – had been fulfilled (which is putting it mildly – even we’ve published it!!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
