Day 29 - 01/06/2007

Friday

With the help of the British Embassy we had a very busy day. First of all we had a short briefing from the ambassador and her staff. We then had a series of meetings with: multiple non-governmental agencies involved in child welfare, did a TV programme akin to Crimewatch focussing on Madeleine’s disappearance, a press conference which was well attended, a couple of short US news channel interviews with European coverage and finally met with the Spanish Minister for the Interior (Home Secretary equivalent). We left Madrid feeling as if the Spanish were treating Madeleine’s disappearance like one of their own.

Meanwhile in Portugal Phil arrived with thousands of posters in different languages. Most of these have been delivered to the Irish centre at Fatima and more at Lisbon airport. Planning a family day tomorrow. Will weigh up next phase of the search over the weekend.

I thoroughly agree Tony, if only it were to become apparent who the 'we' are then Madeleine would finally receive justice.

WE are important.

No other parents of 'missing' children gets this level of attention from Prime Ministers to Popes.

Seems to me he's documented his day in a kind of list of what he sees as impressive or important to him.1st is the British Embassy and last is the Search.
