In Italy, the images of the abuse inflicted on Iraqi prisoners resulted in the centre-left opposition calling for the return of Italian troops from Iraq, while it had previously been divided as to whether to support or oppose Italian involvement. The publishing of photographs revealing the extent and seriousness of torture suffered by Iraqi prisoners at the hands of US troops in Abu Ghraib prison has sparked political controversy in Italy and Spain, two of the countries whose governments originally supported the US-UK intervention, although the Spanish position changed after the Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE), led by José Luis Zapatero, came to power after the general election held on 14 March.
