The ten most neglected humanitarian crisis

Doctors Without Borders, a humanitarian organization that I deserve more respect, has published the report "Ten most neglected humanitarian crisis of 2009." Here you can see a video presentation of the report and here the full report. It is good to read these things from time to time to take a closer idea of \u200b\u200bthe world in which we live.

Atheros Ar5bxb Sterowniki

This is getting warmer ... and must be heated much more

'm pissed. Very angry. Thinking, the thought that the mandatory retirement age can be delayed, that the calculation of pensions may change so that they are reduced or can approve a contract with less severance pay than the current one is that it gets on my nerves. With the years and effort that has cost the / workers to achieve these measures, how can you come now a government of a socialist party that is called by a stroke? And is that these achievements are not any gift that governments long ago became loose, but the result of long negotiation process in which / workers have been balancing the distribution of profits with capitalists. Pensions, severance payments, public education and other measures used to that in a capitalist system, the / workers receive the compensation they deserve for their contribution to the wealth of that system. Well, it happens that in recent years because of increased productivity, which in turn is a mixture of labor and capital, the wealth that you are getting is increasing, yet the distribution of it is again is unbalanced in favor of capital through measures such as tax relief. And what is not acceptable is that knowing how we know that productivity will continue to grow, someone let alone raising the concepts reduce the remuneration of workers.

Because if it wants to adopt measures that the government would respond to a short-term economic situation of crisis, ie a time when we all lose, because they could argue, but is that what the delaying the retirement age, according to the known details of the proposal, without significant impact to within 8 or 10 years. And in 10 years what will have happened is that Spain is much more rich than it is now and will be the only capitalists who will benefit from this improvement even increase their profits by sharing in the pie to the / workers they will be playing less.

Since I know that the ideological convictions of the leaders of the PSOE are close to liberalism does not surprise me too much to put forward proposals as above. However, if you also intend to appear as the most liberal in Europe right before they have completely lost track. Lose the next election, because to do that work and are just the PP. The worst thing is that although some of the measures adopted do not reach this stake will have no qualms a future PP government in recall and get approved. So, sad as I have it.

other words, we face the greatest assault on / workers from World War II (and perhaps earlier, since the nineteenth century) for one simple reason: because what is is proposing is a clear regression and an attack on the Western model of society.

So I think that attendance at concentrations unions convened by day 27 ( in Bilbao, at 11:30, on Gran Via ) is required if we are not losing positions in the negotiating process that much of the recent European and world history. And if the government fails to rectify the trade unions would be good to go one step further. Behind, behind them, they will have us many / as.

White Spots On A Dog's Muzzle

called

In a panel discussion that I attended recently emerged discussion of the so-called "pull." We talked, of course, immigration and, specifically, the effect of attraction that can have the Basque model of social insurance. Although the controversy arose around the minors unaccompanied / as (by the way, as I write this I have sitting beside me on the bus to one of them), I would first like to talk something about adults.

Unlike those who believe that immigrants come to Euskadi to take advantage of our social insurance system and, therefore, what they want is to live the story and the Basque government support, I am of those who think that last thing they want is precisely those people having to resort to social assistance. Because I can not believe that someone who has had the courage to leave their land, sometimes risking their lives, leaving behind an immovable model for years, this dynamic, adventurous, become a parasite off the plane or small boat. There will be exceptions, as there are between our / as neighbors / as indigenous / as, but not the general rule. And it shows in the statistics, according to which most people normally have taken jobs in the past years.

But, moreover, according to data from INE, Euskadi is one of the regions with less foreigners from poor countries (including here in Eastern Europe), ie forced migrants. While that percentage is for Euskadi 5.4% of the total population, the English average increases to 10.2% and in communities such as Madrid, Catalonia and the Balearic reach values \u200b\u200baround 15%. And if you look at the minors for 16 years (Statistical reference is there in the INE) we find that in Euskadi the percentage of poor countries from the total population of that age reaches 5.5% while in the communities mentioned above 10%. It is certainly not the same as speaking of children in general that unaccompanied minors / as, and now I return to the discussion I referred to at first, but as true as it is that having to attend on health needs, school, etc. ., a foreign population, children and youth, as large as those regions that also quoted to be complicated. Take the case of linguistic integration in schools.

all this comes to mind the protests of the Basque institutions, including Ararteko-Ombudsman (body whose views did not always agree and that his apparent character of impartiality does not apply in all cases), accompanied by the citizenship , lack of solidarity from other regions when welcoming these / as children. And they are right to ask the Basque institutions applying the same criteria for acceptance in the entire State or to discredit government actions such as La Rioja who reject these / as kids / as giving even the contributions of the State to serve them, but something must be qualified if you look at all of the foreign population in these autonomous communities, including La Rioja, Euskadi twice as high as we read in terms of total population or in terms of population under 16 years. In other words, it seems that little should complain in Euskadi, one of the richest communities of less populous state and foreign, having to attend and host to hundreds of unaccompanied minors / as.

Fashiontv Changing Backstage

This effect begins to resemble a Zapatero

Successive English stock market falls in recent weeks are teaching us that every time a profile is more like the dreaded W announced People as Nobel Prize Paul Krugman (English) or the CEO of Europe's biggest bank referring to the economic developments after the crash of 2008. It is true that pockets of other countries are not falling as much (although today was a bad day everywhere) but do not you think that the economic situation of Greece, Portugal and Spain may ultimately affect at least the rest of the EU? And perhaps in the case of Spain, more so since German banks, Dutch, etc. have on their balance sheets with loans made by them for English banks to finance the purchase or housing development. And we know how is the English property scene: low ebb, with few companies wanting to build houses and many unemployed people who are going to continue to increase the stock of arrears. As someone has said, Spain is a huge subprime.

All this merely to show that the way they have carried the economy in recent months the government of the PSOE and the Bank of Spain, this no doubt in cahoots with him, was not exactly the most appropriate. On the contrary, has done everything possible to delay the housing slump and its corresponding impact on entities financial, not allowing them on their balance sheets reflect the impairment of property they had in their balance sheets. Not to mention the manipulation of statistics on housing prices.

In my opinion, and in more and more people, until they make the adjustment in housing prices and accommodate the results of banks to reality ( something has begun to do but it is insufficient ), entailing the disappearance from English financial institutions, it will not be back on track since the credit will not begin to flow society. And as for the PSOE government and we've always had a reverential fear of the bankers (or have to think that their mutual compromises prevent them from going against them?), But we are at a critical time that any delay in taking actions required can lead us into the pit. Indeed, the hole has the face of pension reform, that is, a decision that exacerbates the future of millions of workers. And all the rights to show Europe that something is being done.
