While the Maghreb burns and accumulated hundreds of people in their protests against the ruling dictators, the West question I think not without innocence, if no is time that democracy comes to the land of Islam. Some European politicians and journalists try to compare current events with the fall of the Berlin Wall two decades ago.
These statements are very risky. Attempts democratization in Muslim countries have a long tradition of failure. Trying to mix democracy with Islam, while respecting the fundamental principles of both systems, is wanting to combine authoritarianism and lack of freedom with respect to citizenship and their right to participate in the political life of a country. It is a recipe impossible, because the first thing just to devour the latter. The resulting disaster is insured and, sometimes, the more repression than before the attempt at liberalization.
now striking silence of the European left, member, philanthropist, willing and defender of Islam. Who made the war in Iraq their main strategy to try to topple a government in Spain and further pierce the ideological foundations on which rests the West, now kept silent indifferent to those killed in the riots from Egypt to Morocco. A strange silence, because the left is not usually how are you miss opportunities to profit from confusion.
As an example of how complicated this situation of unrest, one of the most striking photos of the demonstrations in Morocco that have appeared in digital media is the one that shows a young man demonstrate against Mohamed VI wearing a shirt bearing the likeness of Che Guevara. Is it a classic case of ignorance that still believes in the romantic left and the legend of hero forged around this murderer? Is it a declaration of intent, showing by symbols that some want to leave Islamic dictatorships to fall into communist dictatorships?
Similarly, the beginning of the protests in Egypt was based on popular protests demanding an end to a regime, but were not slow in joining, although still remaining in the background, religious leaders who advocate the application of Islamic law as the Sharia, based on the Koran and applying the strangulation of freedoms as effectively as terror.
Islam on the Mediterranean coast is now at the crossroads of deciding whether moves towards democracy or towards radicalization. Each of these countries with their own particularities, is in tension caused by their own interests, Western interests, religious and political. It is too early to guess at an end.
In many occasions I have heard that "one country has the leaders it deserves" I ended up thinking that any generalization is unfair. If a little more refinement that, if only for trying to put things in a balance more appropriate to my way of seeing things, I can say without reservation that the majority of voters who have chosen this or policy which will have the president they deserve, although that result in the minority merit that is not the elected political party.
All This comes up a couple of thoughts:
The interesting argument (I can not say "debate" because the majority of readers and participants the option we chose presidentialism) that Republic Rojigualda recently opened its Facebook , and recommend to all those English who are interested in something more than the football league and the doings of the famosetes of trash TV. While it is true that, as politicians and their doings, Spain, as a society and a nation - or what remains of it - have what it deserves Is no less true that there are citizens whose concerns go far beyond that to comply, since the complaint bureau, protest, or do not offer anything in return. Unfortunately, this does not happen to be the concern of a few, whose example can not permeate the consciousness of the vast majority of citizens. It is now more than ever, when you need a thorough review of political and social model in which we have experienced since the transition, but the political caste refuses to initiate this change to keep their privileges. Contrary to what you would hope, few deep media reports on corruption policy that invariably off many of the irregularities of any kind that we face.
The brazenness of the political class as a whole, and many of its elements in particular, to remain in office to avoid explanations and trying to confuse the public even in recent cases where the evidence points directly to themselves. Today, as decades of corruption issues are everywhere and with two common goals: money and terrorism. Is this what it deserves English society? At least, this is what they deserve who renewed their trust in politicians that govern us, despite their background. At the very least, well, those who refuse to accept this palpable reality to defend their own political color, or economic interest.
I think we've reached a point where it no longer optimistic. And that says who is considered optimistic by nature. This is already a case of moving or falling into the abyss. We can not have an opposition that, with few exceptions I personally hope to reap the benefits of the catastrophic and disastrous management of the Socialists during his two terms. The change is truly needed is far beyond an alternation in government. It imposes the urgency to amend the electoral law. Imposing a change of economic model that facilitates the creation of employment. It requires an effective separation of state powers, which in Spain has been absent since the beginning of the transition. Is imposed to the corrupt in their place. Imposed lose their fear and make them responsible for the wrongs they have generated.
many things are imposed. And in this time of crisis should charge more sense to quote Ronald Reagan: "If you fear the future, road salt. Stand aside. The people of this country is ready to move again, "
Today has been called a power outage for users of utilities. The call has run through the network at full speed. It was cut off electricity to our homes for a half hour from 22 to 22.30.
The objective of this call was to convince the largest possible number of users, to support the blackout and thus protest against rising electricity rates that the Zapatero government approved during the economic crisis.
No sé si los medios se harán eco de la incidencia de esta protesta ciudadana en el consumo eléctrico nacional. Por mi parte, en mi casa hemos participado en este apagón. Tal ha sido nuestro modo de protestar contra la carestía del suministro eléctrico en España, y manifestarnos a favor de la verdadera liberalización del sector eléctrico nacional, en el que el estado debería intervenir para poco más que asegurar, mediante los procedimientos legales oportunos, que las diferentes compañías suministradoras no pacten tarifas para asegurarse sus cuotas de mercado.
Communicate to Mr. Counsel and the general public that CM Res. 01/2011, on the date 21/02/2011 and 09/03/2011 to date has been arranged including FAIR JUDICIAL MOVING. The new headquarters of Court No. 4 will be: 654 May Avenue, 9th floor, rear. The registration desk will serve on the first floor, rear.
El contraste which was this past Friday, February 11 between the morning the streets of Zaragoza and "It's the morning of Frederick in the auditorium of Queen Petronilla Hotel was, at least, abysmal end.
Just walk a hundred yards from the place where I left my car to the front desk. A couple of minutes more than enough for the city I calase its usual fog and nearly freezing to the bone. Once in the auditorium, the temperature was comforting. The inviting atmosphere to sit back and listen.
The program had begun 6 in the morning, but the auditorium was opened at 8 am, and 5.8 was already full to bursting. After the initial ovation welcoming the public offer initiated by Federico, director of the program, to salute and pay tribute to the city that hosted the program esRadio, it was an attentive silence. A silence in which to be grateful and you felt happy to participate.
would highlight three important moments of those two hour program I attended:
One I could see that Federico Jiménez Losantos, Luis Herrero and Cesar Vidal, have the respect and affection of his audience. If I let go of the comments in a low voice that the audience heard about me, I think the difference esRadio based on other national programs is that their listeners have their own criteria and do so, either by the messages of the Broadcasters, led to independence from any political party, whether by the belligerence of these against any form of abuse, this comes from wherever it comes. And with relief - why should I deny it - I checked how the new generation of communicators feral personified that day and Javier Somalo Dieter Brandau, also present in the program, stepping arrives strong and confident steps on the path, often uncomfortable, regardless of the information.
This independence, in a English society, operated by its politicians to the core, has a price which, fortunately, many are still willing to pay: the label. Not only who, with successes and failures, leading independent opinion from the microphones and publications. The public also confess that follower. All, without variation, they become marked as "fascists" and "extremists." Qualified and from the media power, and from his master absolute power political. Unfortunately, it is the general trend in Spain to think and act with one-eyed gaze, regardless of whether it covered the right or left eye.
Two: José Ángel Biel, Vice President of the Government of Aragon and the Aragonese Party chairman, was the first guest of the program. For many Aragonese left, center and right, Biel is the personification of courage hinge Aragonese Party in a coalition supporting the PSOE in the regional government in exchange for other ministries and departments, resulting in a shut up and watch the other way when the Socialists of Marcelino Iglesias, President Aragon more bland and fruitless that has had this land, without disturbing governs Madrid and folds to the claims of the Catalans. And Biel is also the public face of a party which, along with socialist cup placed in the public administration and public enterprises satellites positioned and plugged by a finger.
Well. The entry of José Ángel Biel on stage, previously announced by Federico, could not be more descriptive by the public. Absolute silence, without applause, while Federico, Luis and Cesar greeted the Vice President of Aragon. The silence of those who thunders. An eloquent silence and revealing. No word had been explained better than anyone what is indifference. Or blame.
The interview, about twenty minutes long, was successful and lively. And Biel served as what it is: a politician who does not get wet when you should do and that is perhaps also why he manages to get a sufficient minority votes to be in different Aragonese government for two decades. Biel output stage was also silent. Silence. The audience clapped not even once. There was also no comment disqualifying that tarnished the program. Biel went as he came, disguised as absent as an actor his role, to be low and insignificant places him squarely in the indifference of a superfluous character in the script of a play.
And three: The next guest was Luisa Fernanda Rudi, presidential candidate of the Partido Popular Aragon. His presence was the counterpoint to all public indifference to Biel. The drive from Rudi, from the entrance to the auditorium to its seat at the table of the program, including the time when other fellow members stood up to greet her, was literally a roar of applause. I do not know whether Biel was still in the vicinity to have heard the public welcome to Rudi, but it was so, he would do well to take note of the difference.
Luisa Fernanda Rudi if he dared to point a commitment to cutting public spending, but said his plan was going to respect economic and social policies of job creation. He lost no opportunity to recall, as in previous interventions in other media of his intention to audit the accounts of the autonomous region to know exactly what means the government would have to start working, and recalled that she and her collaborators, and found themselves in a similar situation when they came to the City of Zaragoza.
also referred to political preserves PSOE and PAR have been defined during these 12 years of coalition government. Specifically, he referred to the Ministry of Environment, whose taxation is held by public enterprises responsible for recruitment and management of budgets. Cesar Vidal then asked if, under this circumstance, the Cortes of Aragon can exert some control budget to the ministries operated by public companies to what Rudi replied negatively, noting that precisely the existence of these public enterprises is made political and economic control of those ministries to promote partisan and personal interests of those who govern.
Luisa Fernanda Rudi farewell to the public between endless applause that led her out of the auditorium. Of the many messages received in the program during the interview with Rudi, or by sms or email, I think that best reflected the sentiments of the audience was invited to the one that made reference to it, along with Esperanza Aguirre María San Gil, and women courageous and necessary in English politics.
auditorium Marché at 10, when he still had two hours to finish the program. I took a general look at the audience and surprised me a lot of young people were among the attendees. I was pleasantly surprised that so many English, between 20 and 30, displayed interest in politics and current events. Perhaps, despite the efforts of those seeking to brutalize people, not all is lost.
DIGITAL JOURNALIST: ESCORT GAVE A SHOT OF GRACE SALVADOR ALLENDE.
Source: Digital Journalist.
Former Chilean President Salvador Allende shot himself in the head with a gun on September 11, 1973 at the Palacio de La Moneda during the coup, but was wounded and one of his bodyguards had to give the coup de grace, it claims the Chilean writer and journalist Camilo Taufic.
The author made in an interview with Efe the results of research he has done in recent years and concludes with the argument that Allende's death was an "assisted suicide" .
The top manager Allende, according to inquiries Taufic was Enrique Huerta, Mayor of the Palace and member of the president's personal guard, called 'GAP' (Group of Friends of the Chair), in an "act of human solidarity and politics."
This version of the last moments of the President of the Unidad Popular (UP) differs from the most popular so far, accepted even by the family, which holds that Allende was killed when fired on the chin with an assault rifle AK-47 that had given Cuba's Fidel Castro.
To Taufic, a journalist since 1958, this explanation is due to a plan devised by the military coup to occur Allende "holding a Russian weapon, a gift from a head of state, with which you shoot in defense of his government, linking the failure of the peaceful and armed means to socialism."
General Javier Palacios, presented as the officer who commanded the assault on La Moneda, convinced a group of doctors who accompanied the president to present his death as suicide without any assistance provided to substantiate that the weapon used was a rifle donated by the Cuban revolutionary leader.
"Palacios convinced that it was more decent and dignified history that everybody said he committed suicide with a submachine gun Fidel Castro," said Taufic, who also ensures that the general did not lead the assault on the presidential palace, but who arrived there later to "fix the presentation" of the death of Allende.
According to the writer, all the doctors agreed Palacios plan to "dignify" the president's death but one: Danilo Bartulin, who lives in Cuba. Bartulin Allende had conspired to give the coup de grace if was left badly injured or have a problem, but the key moment the doctor was with the president, said Taufic.
Another doctor, Patrick Gihon, said he witnessed the moment when Allende was flying head with a machine gun in the room 'Independence' of La Moneda. The doctor has told repeatedly that the president was fired when he returned to the second floor of the palace to take his gas mask as a souvenir, something which Taufic is "a totally absurd pretext."
Taufic The first argument to thwart the suicide with the AK-47 given by Castro is that the gun was not in La Moneda Allende but kept it like a trophy in his home in El Canaveral, located on the foot of the Andes. The reporter says it has the direct testimony of Victor Pey English and Joan Garcés, personal assistants Allende, who frequented the residence of the president of Chile.
Taufic inclines to the view that Allende shot himself with a pistol, according to eyewitnesses, kept in a desk drawer. Strengthens this possibility a 2008 report of the forensic expert Luis Ravanal, which detected anomalies in the analysis of Allende's autopsy and concluded that the skull had two bullet wounds of different caliber weapons.
According to the report, there is an inlet in the right eyebrow and a round exit at the back of the cranial vault that do not match with a shot fired by a rifle but could correspond to a pistol or a revolver. The coroner also confirmed that the body had been shot larger gauge on the chin that shattered his skull, but said that was done at close range, not at close range, as indicated by the official thesis of suicide.
Based on these forensic evidence, Taufic claims that Allende was wounded after shooting himself under the eye with a gun. Later, Enrique Huerta, one of his loyal bodyguards, finished him off with a rifle shot that shattered his skull, and also fulfilled the promise he had made his closest collaborators that would not let him fall alive into the hands of the military .
According Taufic, some eyewitnesses have stated that Huerta Allende came to office, he heard a gunshot and went "crying, mad, saying he had killed the president." "No one should interpret that Allende was killed by a GAP, Huerta completed suicide as an act of human solidarity and political relationship with its president," says Taufic.
Huerta and others close to Allende who defended themselves when attacked the presidential palace were arrested the same day of the coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. The soldiers were transferred a military compound near Santiago, where they were tortured and shot on September 13, 1973.
Allende's death was put back on the table on 26 January with the decision of the Chilean Justice officially investigate 726 cases of human rights violations so far unknown , among which the president.
Taufic, author of several 'best sellers', pleaded aware that the version on this controversial episode in the recent history of Chile may cause a stir, but was confident that the ongoing criminal investigation "will bring to light the truth "and put an end to some" absurd versions of murder. "
His book 'Chile at the Stake. Snapshot Military Coup', edited in Buenos Aires February 1974, is considered the first global uncensored story published on the subject worldwide.
THE CONDIFENCIAL: SPAIN, THE ECONOMY MORE SICK OF EUROPE. Censored PHEASANT IN CASE
Source: Confidential.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited Spain for six hours yesterday and the news could not be ignored, of course, to the news on television from Germany. At eight o'clock in the afternoon, the major networks broadcast their news and far from open in the presence of its representative in Spain, did the revolt in Egypt . Only after this first contact with international news, the presenters will spent time in Spain.
A Spain that, according to ZDF , the most watched newscast in the country, is "the economy sicker Europe." It began chronicling the Germans in our country correspondents and special envoys. Almost all strings presented to Spain like a 'protectorate' of the European Union and Germany itself, Berlin was as if you dictate to us English homework.
To the extent that our Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero , hardly appeared in the chronicles television. There was only space for the chancellor, of course, and for His Majesty King Don Juan Carlos . Zapatero responses in the press conference were intentionally obvious and German television news focused their summaries in the words of Merkel and the meeting with the monarch.
The other event which also found space in the chronicles was meeting of ministers of both countries. But above all, the German writers confined themselves to the script that has been starring in the information on Spain in Germany: our country has yet to make major reforms to prevent recurrence markets endanger European stability , and it is Germany that will tell us what to do. Nothing to do with the idyllic image of the meeting offered the English media yesterday.
Zapatero, a famous "optimistic"
Moreover, the British weekly The Economist today considered the reforms launched by Zapatero have come too late ", as all polls indicate that the Socialist leader lose election 2012. In an article entitled "English Economic Perspective: Reforming Zapatero ', The Economist Zapatero defined as a" famous optimistic "and a" socialist president who made liberal reforms "he wants the world to believe that Spain has changed to "finally." In this line, remember that the English prime minister has the confidence of markets and is unpopular with the English and warns that the recent "reform effort" has limits.
publication echoes the signing of the 'social contract' this week and, in particular, delaying the retirement age at age 67, although he notes that "has many exceptions" and that the English have to find a job before retirement. "Unemployment is above 20% and the increase is proof that Spain urgently needs many more changes," he says. In addition, the weekly criticism that the new covenant has left important issues unresolved collective bargaining as provided March.
also notes that the firm 'social contract' came a day before the German chancellor to visit Spain, who many think that Zapatero has made a "killing work," and with which Merkel is expected to convince its citizens that Spain is not Greece or Ireland and thus gain the support of its citizens to increase rescue fund.
The Economist believes that the covenant social and a higher rescue fund would help alleviate concerns about sovereign debt "at least for the moment" and recalls the sector reform savings. "It remains to be seen whether this is enough to restore confidence in the growth for a country that builds nearly a third of unemployment in the euro area," he adds.
Luis del Asked Olmo Rodríguez Zapatero, recently opened it as Prime Minister, if would practice some form of censorship and control over state media, citing RTVE.
Zapatero said he would never do or allow such a thing, because he believed in freedom of expression and information.
That a leader of the PSOE say such a thing, with the history of this party in regard to control of publications, radio and television, is as absurd as trying to tell a single truth Rubalcaba in Congress: an impossibility.
The facts belie were responsible for ZP immediately. Censorship began distorting and hiding the truth about the 11-M, and has continued to function as a well oiled gear up today. And so it will.
Now it mute the case Pheasant, with consequences that could result in another huge scandal of a socialist government.
Ussíalleva Alfonso's article several days running through the network and causing all kinds of opiniones.Creo received by mail have seven or eight times and I do not think anything extraño.La reputation of both characters is sufficient grounds for such expectation, and news-hungry heart with these things enjoy celebrities.
particular, as personajesfamosos, Ja Pe and I care a damn. I am nothing and I prefer to set miadmiración mythomaniac in other individuals with merits in politics, literaturao any other facet that interests me. Indeed, if I talk about movies, Penelope Cruz turns me off as an actress, although interpretations deJavier Bardem in "deep" and "No Country for Old Men" seemed muyinteresantes.
Ussía from the letter of appeal to me, mainly the bottom of the message. I've always been struck by the paradox that silk celebrities usually between liberals, once entrenched suéxito, abandon capitalism more antagonistic to what they have tried publicly deidentificarse either by political interest, or ambition.
That's it. That I agree with Alfonso laspalabras Ussía letter by letter, to the end point and add emphasis to the last paragraph. Because if there is a change políticoque polls predict, will be what the English touch live hastaque left to regain power.
"has missed an official statement announcing the good nuevadel birth of Penelope Cruz, the Passion of Alcobendas. It was a niño.Enhorabuena. He was born in Los Angeles in the United States, not Cuba.Enhorabuena. In this way, the child may qualify for nacionalidadestadounidense when they reach adulthood. Congratulations. hatena Birth place at Cedars-Sinai, one of the most expensive in the world. Secalcula not lower the bill of a hundred thousand euros. Congratulations locals. In Spain it is cheaper, but parents are decidirel site owners access to their children's lives. I am assured by my illustrious department reporting that both father and mother have struggled denodadamentecontra their ideas and that ideas have been defeated. Vencidolas have ideas, delivery would have occurred in Cuba, whose level is high yasistencial doctor, some say. But no luck. Tieneque be very painful to end communist militancy giving birth in elhospital most expensive and exclusive of capitalist empire. I shudder when lopienso. Because the father and the mother of the newborn child are not izquierdistasdel lot. Part of the ideological leadership of communist agitation and austere propagandadel all shared. In the hospital of Cuba obligabana mother to share a room with a fellow Cuban, and so far podíamosllegar.
Be wary of jóvenescubanas today, so far from the basic principles of Revolución.Además, that because of the blockade, Cuba is not guaranteed dedeterminados drug availability. Hence the English revolutionary couples having a child hayadecidido the most expensive hospital in the nation the blockade imposed on Cuba. In Spain there is blocking it's worth, but it is understood the current queen's political, economic and social rights by queatraviesa our nation, born in Spain they have seemed little. Elglamour there is also red. And the last option, of having a child with Haidar Saharan uncampamento collaborating on the delivery, the truth, and inthis give them any reason, could not be taken into account.
OBLIGATION communist militancy much sacrifice. It is legitimate to feel the more skewed left and vivircomo an American millionaire.

And therein lies the problem. Social Unsafe was the work of Franco-Franco himself died in one of sushospitales, "and a communist who is worthy of the name can not allow its hijonazca in a hospital the previous regime. It would be unforgivable.
Ja Pe and very bien.Tiempo will have to raise his fist in protest against the Government of PartidoPopular, call their leaders murderers, flight to Laayoune where necessary, to rest in Cuba as guests of the regime locked, and live in a nation that blocks laimperialista Cubans. There will be time. The important thing esque child is born in Los Angeles, which is good, that nobody lemolesta mother or interrupted, everything is going great and that one hundred thousand euros per unparto is not to be shocked.

The case faisántiene now more likely to be credible for many believers of these queaseguraban that this was not just another of those moves mounted by the laAVT, Dignity and Justice, Jiménez Losantos, Peter J.

It suficientementeindependiente a judge has decided that there is sufficient evidence to initiate unainvestigación on the famous ETA tip from the upper echelons of the Interior delMinisterio Perez Rubalcaba. Even the prosecutor who anteriormentesiguió line drawn by the nefarious pro-socialist and did not appreciate motivoalguno Garzón to investigate anything, now becomes a prosecutor who do seguiráadelante with the case.
Carlos Herrera asked in an editorial estamañana Onda Cero from 6 in the morning if lainvestigación result of this new scandal socialistascontra high treason of the State could ruin the political career of more than one. In miopinión, based on background recent decades, I think if algunacarrera policy may be compromised, will be the scapegoat some queesté willing to be burned in exchange for a secured financial future.
Spain and had to vivirbochornosas situations like this will happen. Barrionuevo and Vera pagaronpor themselves, and others who were clean, having had more responsabilidadque which ended up in prison.

Rodríguez Zapatero rescatadopara successive political governments to earlier stages, which were manifest failures gestionesentonces. Surely, if ministrode Solbes as economy and initiator, under the orders of ZP, the strategy of denial einacción to the economic crisis, may be one of the clearest examples, his painful sirecordamos management by the same portfolio during finaldel stage Philips.

In times gone by, Socialists charged quealtos contradicted themselves from day to day, while actually leaving them all with the rear air.
Does Pheasant case cost lacarrera a senior policy socialist? Do any of these senior officials, following verification of the charges, pay the consequences of committing undelito of collaborating with armed groups? Honestly, I think there is pocasposibilidades that such things happen but the truth of all is to Lavista.
live in Spain. A country that gives selas world power and democratic example, where millions deelectores, repeatedly, their votes have been validated with the outrages of políticosdegenerados who hide in the social for their own benefit. Quesuceda I do not think anything. Not looking for justice.
