hijos politicos

[Huttonite]

This was entered before the name of a person in a Spanish newspaper. The named person was female. Can any one explain what the Spanish term means?

Hijo is son (I think hijos may also mean children) and politico means tactful or political according to my dictionary. We need one of our Spanish-speaking friends on AB to answer this - it looks like Tactful Son to me, but that doesn't make much sense from what you say in the post!

^ but beautifully worded boxy ;)

Yerno is son in law. Taking a literal translation for Spanish doesnt always work as sometimes doesnt make sense so would have to know the context of the article to proper translation
