Controversy

In 2007, her banking accounts and patrimony were investigated, but the case was eventually dismissed.[2][3]

Whilst Mariano Rajoy, prime minister of Spain, announced cuts to the unemployment benefits in July 2012, she exclaimed (in agreement) 'Que se jodan', literally 'Fuck them'. Her actions caused huge controversy in Spain and a petition was signed by almost 200,000 people calling for her resignation.[4] While she released an official apology for the outburst, it's earned her the nickname in popular social media of Andrea "que-se-jodan" Fabra or literally, Andrea "fuck them" Fabra.[5] Also, it inadvertently provided a rallying cry for anti-austerity protestors in Spain.[6]
