Scandal in Spain: The Prime Minister plagiarised many pages of his PhD thesis
-
they tend to be much nicer when it happens abroad "in the South"
look at the Italian prime minister for instance, everyone was basically expecting him to lie on his credentials, so he did not really suffer when it was discovered.
The turnitin reports are out of doubt. He has plagiarized a lot of paragraphs from papers published in 2005. Tomorrow, this case will be in the media of UK and Germany, countries where plagarism is not tolerated at all. You will see the veredict.

not too reach the Godwin point but, for those who wonder why a journal like ABC found this today:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dm-eioKW0AECxnS.jpg (the obituary on the death of Hitler)
ABC is Francoist outlet and is angry that the government is moving away the corpse of the dictator from the public mausoleum where it lies.
(still a problem that there was plagiarism. More of a problem than such a thesis exists in the first place)

Any newspaper that existed during the dicatorship was subject to censorship. That doesn't make it Francoist. Take a look at how the Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia applauded Franco's victory:

Why discussion about ABC instead of Turnitin reports?

seriously? La Vanguardia was seized, while ABC was in control of its original family, who genuinely supported Franco. After the dead of Franco, they supported the former Francoists in the PP.
For the same reason that I recognize the analysis of El Pais to be biased in favor of PSOE, I recognize that ABC is full of nostalgics of Franco. Just read it.

But those two excerpts are just ridiculous, the reference is in footnote, he is clearly citing the paper.

Yes, downvotes change the fact that two of time have been imprisoned for nearly a year.
Yeah, nothing quite like people who pose as liberals but like to use force to quell peaceful protest. That could just be the recipe to bring Franco's legacy into the 21st century.
Ines Arrimadas should run Spain.

Have you looked at the reports?
I am not defending a nonsensical unpublished thesis written by a politician.
But at least the two excerpts I cite above are very far from being conclusive (hard to say anything about the others)
I use turnitin quite a lot in grading, I would never punish a student for citing in a footnote in front of a semicolon.
Hahaha. It is very funny to see Spanish professors defending this academic fraud...By doing this you only get your reputation to fall... even more than it already is.

Let's forget that copying something literally requires quotation marks. Let's forget that that's no way to quote... OK. What about the other dozens of pages that have not footnotes?

Show me the link to a dozen of pages of uncited cut and paste (plagiarism, not sloppy methodology from a third rate university) and I will happily acknowledge the plagiarism.
I am not at all a Sanchez supporter, I am not even Spanish. It's just hard not to see the context in which this happens: Francoists trying to save the corpse of their idol from being moved out of los caidos.

Very few defend Franco today, but he is now history anyway. There's no point in moving his corpse somewhere else, it changes nothing, it's not even a symbolic win, rather a symbolic fail (unable to act while he was alive / unable to change anything but his dead body).
The Phd fraud has been uncovered now, so this the thing to debate right now.

I just looked at the first three ones, there is always a footnote. If you show me the note and we see that it is not a reference to the paper, I acknowledge a plagiarism. Else, sloppiness.

I happily discuss the thesis story, and am totally willing to acknowledge plagiarism if it is the case (see above posts). I'm not a Sanchez supporter, and I hate when people try to get academic credentials to push an agenda.
