Upwardly Mobile Mayoress

From today's Valencia Life newsletter:

Valencia Mayoress Rita Barberá could hardly conceal her surprise yesterday after the influential magazine Elle placed her amongst the most important feminine movers and shakers in the world. The Magazine found that amongst the most influential women in the world were Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, Mrs Barberá, Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, the Deputy Prime Minister, and Esperanza Aguirre, the President of the Madrid Community.
