Honduras

The case of Honduras is a case of confusion in the media. It is almost impossible to know with certainty what happens in that country, because both the international agencies concerned as the media (there have been some laudable exception in the English case: La Vanguardia ) have fallen into a Manichean dynamics is difficult avoided. Yet, any effort spent on clarifying the situation is hard, because it is played the future of Honduras. When President Zelaya was overthrown and expelled from the country, my party, UPyD, like almost all English political parties, condemned what he called media "coup" and called for the restoration of constitutional order. From the outset I was struck by two issues.

First, that a large majority of commentators obviated or minimized in its analysis the fact that Manuel Zelaya, disregard of the opinions and judgments against several private and public institutions (Congress of Deputies, Supreme Court Bar Association , Attorney General's Office, Attorney General's Office, National Commissioner for Human Rights, Supreme Court Electoral National Counter Corruption Commission, political parties, Catholic Church, evangelical churches), was determined to practice a constitutional reform that would allow repeated injunction against the rigorously established in the Constitution of the Republic of Honduras: "The citizen who has held ownership of the Executive Power shall be President or Designee. Whoever violates this provision, or proposed for reform, and support those who directly or indirectly, immediately cease carrying out their respective positions, and shall be disqualified for ten years the exercise of any public function. " This is a standard for Democrats Honduran security was and is sacred. Zelaya said that there is a populist who has been defending the thesis of a conservative party into the arms of Hugo Chavez, which can only be explained by a personal desire to remain in power and privileges beyond the common interest (from his private sprees by the taxpayer much has been written), and that many Hondurans make you responsible for the remarkable increase in drug trafficking and associated crime in connivance with the government of Venezuela, according to reports from the Chair of the House Trade Zablah Agnes, planes and boats laden with drugs from this republic have arrived in Honduras on a daily basis during the term of Zelaya. But little of this has been discussed at length in the press.

Secondly, it was curious that the authorities condemn the U.S. action against a puppet of Hugo Chavez ordered by the parliament and the supreme court and executed by the Honduran army, whose officers are trained in the School of the Americas famous for providing the countries south of the Rio Grande pro-American military officers. It was inexplicable that General Romeo Vasquez, head of the Joint Chiefs of Armed Forces of Honduras and alumni of the school, give such a step outside the American Embassy. Something was wrong, but since the United U.S. has been showing a more equidistant in the conflict all begins to seem part of a plan, as claimed by left-wing views.

However, the international movement to support Zelaya are cheered by the mainstream press, and many countries charge through diplomatic channels against what they call de facto government . Inconsistency here it reaches a supine position, which, while not surprised those who know the mental processes and behavior of Western liberals: according to your view of things, a great movement of civil resistance on the streets of Honduras and the government Roberto Micheletti, as reported by the Inter- OAS human, is exceeded in its repression, exaggerated use of force and repeatedly violates human rights protesters.

For personal circumstances maintain direct contact with residents of Honduras, and the testimony that I receive are not certified beyond this table. Many Hondurans are outraged by the Commission. To begin, the president of the OAS, José Miguel Insulza, is a declared Chavez. Part of that committee a Venezuelan who presides (one of my correspondents asked why not investigate the human rights violations that do occur in their country), an Argentine and a Chilean, from three countries participating Zelaya Front and have driven the Honduran ambassadors of their countries, so that the objectivity of its conclusions do not deserve much credit. Apparently, during his visit to Honduras, the Commission refused to receive two hundred employees of a certain restaurant chain that has been subjected to violence of the "protesters" Zelaya, some of these employees showed serious injuries. But the Commission said in a press conference that his mission included investigating only the de facto government abuses. In his version, "demonstrations" in favor of Zelaya have been peaceful, but the Hondurans can see every day on TV how Zelaya, in what seems a strategy of tension, burning star restaurants, cars and buses, smashing in the windows of shops, beatings, roadblocks, occupations of schools ... It turns out that the "demonstrators", of which it is certain that they are on the payroll of Hugo Chavez (according to police, no evidence), prevent the last month and a half children and youth attending schools in order to use them as barracks or dorm, with consequent damage to their training. My informant, who is English and teaching in Comayagua, gives me the deep shame it causes him and his companions the Zapatero government's decision to join the front Zelaya and expel the ambassador to Honduras in Spain to try to weaken the position of the government of that country in its handling of the crisis. A newspaper of that country today asked why Spain is trying to steer European policy against the government Micheletti.

Proponents say the cause of Zelaya institutions that deposed him (the Parliament, for example, was otherwise unanimously with the exception of two votes) are not democratic because they represent the oligarchy, and certainly have a point , but since it does not seem to get to ride roughshod common rules on behalf of themselves as righteous principles that they can be. On the other hand, neither seems likely that the shift of Zelaya Chavez was intended to claim the rights of the Honduran people, since their police, according to the directory of Amnesty International was a protagonist of several acts of violence in 2008. My opinion is that in Spain we rush to condemn the "coup" and we should all, and UPyD first to reopen the matter and take a position away from the simplicity or confusion of the first moments. There is an infallible sign that supporting Chavez's puppet Honduras is an error: Zapatero and Moratinos supporters. And I mean totally serious. Digital Journalist .

Fina in Wonderland

few days ago came into force the new Social Services Law Balearic Islands, which establishes the basic needs of accommodation, food and clothing. The Minister of Social Affairs of the United Left, Fine Santiago, has decreed the end of hunger in the Balearics. When the Govern develop the law through the decree provided, which shall be listed the benefits that citizens must have the right, any citizen may complain to a judge, says Fina Santiago. In the text been reported to the promotion in Spain today shows that politicians do not have the critical faculties of their voters, but their credulity. Mal going down that road, because when credulity just nothing left standing.

Now let's move from virtual reality to the facts. And the facts tell us that this law has not been budgeted or, with the current drop of 23% in tax collection by the CAIB due to the crisis, it seems that will be soon starting a budget to cover the virtual catalog. Beyond the propaganda, does anyone think it possible that in these times, a government of diminished income to enable a game expected a huge expenditure but impossible to quantify, such as those generated by dining or social housing? Not aware of studies, no one knows if the Govern has taken a solvent accounts for predicting the impact of such legislation in the public accounts which, lest we forget, are the accounts of citizens. The law was created, therefore, marked by improvisation and propagandist that vision seems to dominate Spain zapateril policy. But what the law clearly does provide is the provision of a number of boards and committees at all levels of management and professional staff dedicated to multiply public spending and bureaucracy, leaving for later the way to meet regulatory counseling, committees and staff positions. And here I do not know why, it occurs to me to recall the example of the Ministry of Agriculture, which is composed of a number of officials than of the farmers that are in the islands.

But let's assume this Govern not live in a fantasy world, but instead is formed by a management team responsible, and that comes to catalog a useful feature set already budgeted and made available to a realistic and effective . The Balearics be so smug as advances counselor, the first English community in which social policy acquires the force of law and, therefore, benefits payable were approved and budgeted by any citizen in the courts. Okay, but what citizens? The law speaks of "the entire population," explicitly including "could not be otherwise, to nationals of the European Union and resident aliens. In Spain for many years that we have forgotten that it is operating locally legislation that affects us globally: the former minister made an illegal Bermejo administration to use a hunting license in a community that had not issued, and now Santiago legislation Fina Balearic necessary to become the refuge of the disadvantaged in Spain and, indeed, of Europe without borders. Entiéndaseme: if we conclude that the state must cover all needs all individuals (a concept I personally am far from sharing), would not it be smart and responsible to coordinate policies from all the territories whose citizens could benefit from that conclusion? James makes fine in the field of social services in its area island, as well as national President Zapatero made the regularization of immigrants in their early years decided unilaterally, ie without our European partners which also affected the subsequent knock-on effect. Where would like to spend your Mondays in the Sun the disadvantaged in Sweden and Germany, but in a beautiful Mediterranean island whose administration would cover all your needs? If the requirement is to be registered in the Balearics, and I expect the resulting traffic censuses, or is we are so naive not know what happens with the enrollment of illegal immigrants to serve the purposes of Social Security? I repeat: I think it is unrealistic to extend this coverage vital to the entire population, ie, make the state Caritas (for charity is no social justice), but if we intend to do, the responsible thing is carrying out a coordinated manner, if at Valencia (or Riga) can not be required in a court room and board and in Palma itself, more than one catch the boat from Palma and the Government have not provided a cost that will be required to be made. Another thing is that, as suggested earlier, we believe that the law will to be usefully applied, but the consistency, national vision and respect for the intelligence and people's expectations are also important.

And after the economic and social considerations, I will take a political reflection. The law states that will Govern himself that regulate the composition of the technical committees involved in the public system of social services. This, taking into account the totalitarian impulse that characterizes our leaders and that makes the law, for example, declared aim "to promote the integration over identity, language and culture of this community own" (or, Christian, the exclusion of English social eaters also makes me think ...), wrong. Do not get the wrong city message? Ie: an individual who will vote on social and / or sanitary vulnerable to which he reports: I do the standard going to feed, I establish criteria and procedures, provides I I budget and appoint the people who decide if you meet them?

From the legislative perspective, the new law is a monument to the talk and interventionism, from the economic point of view, a truly irresponsible that delves into the robbery of the taxpayer as she has the nerve to talk about "fiscal plundering" and demand money from Madrid, from the social, I fear that a dead letter, and since the political propaganda of the worst kind. And is that Francesc Antich and his associates are radicals, as we knew, eminent representatives of the shoemaker. The sad thing is that even the PP, which calls itself a liberal party but is hamstrung by political correctness and its own decomposition, dared to vote against this nonsense called law.
