Aznar didn't seek re-election, but his party was ejected from power and some of his policies reversed. Berlusconi was also ejected, but he was not at the meeting. The only reason Aznar was there [despite his delusions of grandeur] was that Spain happened to chair the UNSC for the first half of 2003. That meeting was the last time the Anglo-American press paid attention to him.
