Watergate Info

Watergate

El escándalo político que acarreó la dimisión del Presidente Richard Nixon en 1974. En 1972 miembros del Partido Republicano Republican Party intentaron robar información de las oficinas del Partido Demócrata Democratic Party, situadas en el edifico de Watergate en Washington DC. Nixon sostuvo que él lo ignoraba, pero el periódico The Washington Post y grabaciones de conversaciones telefónicas contribuyeron para probar que mentía. La terminación -gate, desde entonces se ha utilizado para crear nombres que hacen referencia a otros escándalos, p.ej. Irangate (la venta ilegal de armas en 1985, por parte de EEUU. El dinero proveniente de ellas era entregado a los Contras de Nicaragua).
