Spain: Mayor says she's not involved in fraud because she's 'no Jewish dog'

The mayor of a Madrid suburb apologized through a spokesman for using the term “Jewish dog” during her campaign. 

The office of Collado Villalba Mayor Mariola Vargas issued the apology on Friday to the Federation of Jewish Communities in Spain, or FCJE, in connection with Vargas’ remark during a news conference in which she denied allegations that she has foreign bank accounts and urged listeners to believe her because “I’m no Jewish dog.”
