| Spain's outgoing prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar, will teach seminars at Georgetown University starting this fall, his office said Monday. Aznar, who did not seek a third term in general elections held on March 14, will teach contemporary European politics and trans-Atlantic relations, an aide said. Aznar's job options have been a subject of much speculation in Spain now that he is bowing out of politics. Until now, it was only known that he would direct his Popular Party's think tank, the Foundation for Social Analysis and Studies. First elected in 1996, Aznar said at the start of his second term in 2000 that in the interest of renewal in government and his party he would not seek a third term. Aznar steps down later this month. In January of this year, the university in Washington gave Aznar a medal in recognition of his work to improve relations between the United States and Spain. Aznar is not the only famous Spaniard with ties to Georgetown. Crown Prince Felipe attended graduate school there from 1993-95. |
