Bionicle Ds How Do I Beat Lava

Catalan

Welcoming the results of the first campaign, developed last May, the Department of Innovation, Justice and Home Affairs of Government of the Balearic Islands has launched its second campaign to raise awareness for the use of security systems children in motor vehicles, through its Directorate General of Home Affairs and Public Safety Institute of the Balearic Islands. In addition to the lectures given in schools by police guardians, initiative is based on the distribution in schools in a booklet for parents of students. The main objective of the campaign, very commendable, is "to minimize risky behaviors in driving" is addressed "to parents and caregivers of children", among its purposes is to "sensitize responsible for children's use of approved security systems and thus avoid possible accidents, "and one of the reasons given for carrying it out is that" prevention of dangerous behavior is to start in the educational centers closer to children, such as family background and school. " So far, no objections in terms of objectives, recipients, purposes and motivations, but rather the opposite: praise for the initiative. If all this is as stated, however, we question automatically arises: why the campaign develops only in Catalan?

from official agencies have cornered the English language use so insistently that the question seems trivial, but it is not. As much as it is unfair that the language of instruction in schools is just one of the two officers, we know that it is the law. However, given the stated purpose of the campaign, what could not ask the multiconsejera Pilar Costa and the director general of the Interior, SebastiĆ  Amengual, if you do not have to reach been more convenient to edit bilingual brochures? If parents monolingual brochure receptors do not understand its contents, would not breach the purpose of raising the "educational core nearest" which is the family? Just look at an example: some parents of Basque origin (or Murcia or Colombian) with children enrolled in the public schools, who work and pay taxes in the Balearics and all purposes are subject to the laws and regulations of the Balearic Islands, is not entitled to receive service Balearic authorities if their mother tongue, plus official and common to the whole nation is English? When a person alluded features receive the brochure for the said campaign, you need to make an extra effort to understand what it is advisable, if you can come to understand. Therefore, it is not serviced by the Administration on an equal footing with the Catalan-speaking city that itself is just happy his rights is therefore a second class citizen. If

campaign officials ignored this possibility, should resign for incompetence. If not ignored but considered that the main mission of the Balearic Islands authorities is to force the inhabitants to learn Catalan, and place this overall objective above that mark the common sense and own initiative awareness, should resign by sectarians. If the Minister and Director General Coast Amengual, in short, do not understand that languages \u200b\u200bare at the service of communication and without that sense have no other, that neither the Catalan or English can be above the training needs and security of citizens, and that is a very irresponsible to endanger a child because her parents just have not understood the information given in a language they know, with his official also, then, without any doubt, unworthy should resign. Nothing surprising since, as all the signage on our streets is monolingual, even in cases that do not understand instructions poses a risk to the user, or an avoidable penalty only have understood a text. But we can not overemphasize the absurdity of that in the XXI century inspire the actions of our rulers mythology Herderian lineage identity, the enemy of reason and efficiency, and elsewhere in Europe would be perfectly classified as extreme Right: examples abound. While there are second-class citizens in Spain, while English has whose right to security, or education, or work, or health, is considered less important or less protected than others by reason of the language they speak, whether it is, continue to denounce.

second demagogues lurking UPyD

Under the headline "Berlusconi to the Balearic" Mr. Miquel Payeras publishes a column (UH, 10/10/2009), which warns of the risk that, to the discredit of Zapatero for his management and politicians in general by the phenomenon of corruption and appear "anti-formations." "With the collapse of the credibility of the institutional political parties, demagogues lurking," says a crabs. According to him, the Balearic Islands would be fertile ground for "saviors" that "bewitch get enough people to head in the institutions." The "institutional political accommodation" would be responsible to create "conditions for the birth of [a Berlusconi] to the Balearic Islands." All this is embodied in the phenomenon UPyD. Mr. Paye

must belong to that privileged race of journalists with access to intuitive knowledge, for if not, is not intended to have formed such strong opinions about UPyD, since the number of times the member has addressed UPyD any contrast to his prejudices with reality is exactly zero. Do you think Mr. Paye with the right to insult the hundreds of thousands of English citizens in several elections and have put their growing confidence in Rosa Diez and his party, especially when, according to our evidence, leaving the industry far more liberal, better educated and more knowledgeable of English society?

we agree in something: the traditional politicians are responsible of the deterioration of our democracy. As differ is in the solution: who we must draw the sad state of affairs in which we find ourselves? Do those same professional politicians who lie with their easy chairs in the public waste and corruption that try to mask the complicity of all parties that Mr. Paye called "institutional" and was intended not to change anything while they can continue to milk the system? Or rather a party of volunteers from the proposed policy, for example, electoral reform and lists open, so all votes are worth the same and respond elected their engagement with the city and not to its executive, the limitation of time in the office, the direct election of mayors and person appointments as regional presidents, reform the judiciary and prosecutors to enable their independence from the parties, the education reform to forge useful citizens and skilled workers in competitive enterprises, equal rights for all English ...? Are these objectives are demagogic, are anti? Or is it rather the expression of common sense that reside in the vast majority of English and no party except UPyD had offered? Are not more harmful for the system to tolerate parties that a band of Trebizond middling which until yesterday criticized as corrupt arbitrator at will policy (to call it somehow) local, insular and autonomous reach sell what is necessary in order to remain in power and call that "good governance pact"?

Are not rather demagogues who prefer the survival of a flawed system to a civic movement to reform it to work? What Mr. Paye afraid? Why, he says, UPyD "love" to a supposedly unsuspecting voters? Is it better to buy the voting procedure by endowments and grants? "Armengol and honoring Antich not follow certain political pirates, despite all the betrayals, with undeserved dignity of partners and associates? Is not it true that the government of the Balearic Islands has two years vegetating without further influence on society and economy of the Islands and dispensable its huge waste and a sad example of how not to do things? Why big business, professional prestige, the civil society leaders, and citizens in general, privately express the enormous contempt inspires Balearic mediocre political class, devoid of ideas and scruples, with having to deal daily? "The spectacle of the Pacte parties are giving these days is in the eyes of Mr. Paye more dignified, less Berlusconi the newspaper and silent work of UPyD? Do you have to have some complex UPyD to such a scenario?

a columnist is allowed to brand UPyD or anti-populist party, for having dared to propose, with conviction, from the strictest respect for democratic principles and in line with the sensibilities of a large number of citizens, the removal of a reprehensible political caste and reform of institutions that do not work, is as well placed as I call any nag me hack columnist stooge: None. What makes sense is to discuss the ideas, not labels, and so I invite Mr. Paye to do so. But to discuss necessary that both want. Is much easier to disqualify. Last Time. Digital Journalist.

Tie Up Dress At The Back

Democracy and the old parties

astonished citizens attending the show these days given the Popular Party of the Balearic Islands off the circumstance of having to choose a president for grouping Palma. In short: one of the candidates want to vote all members and the other members argued that choosing a number of delegates and these in their new leader. Also in a nutshell: free universal suffrage ensures that members express their will without intermediaries, while the system favors the dome electors of a party misrepresents the collective will through the barter of favors between individuals and families territorial and / or patronage, so that the leadership can control the outcome of elections through the procedure very old do ut des. Between the method of the commissioners and the recently implemented by the PP in Calvia, in which all partners have been able to express their wish and see it fulfilled, the citizen knows very well what is the most democratic.

But, after all, one contemplates these facts for what they are: stories from a foreign party (for oneself but also to the public) will not change their ways if not for short-term convenience. PSOE also tested at one time the primaries, but I must say that professional politicians are soon disabused of that novelty, not the top management ensured adequate control of the process. Today, universal suffrage, open lists and participation in the traditional parties are just a memory-if they are, at all levels and territorial structures. People are aware of the constitutional requirement that parties have a democratic internal functioning, but many resigned to that in this as in so many other things, the Constitution is worthless.

therefore attract as much attention the little echo, perhaps due to a disbelief logic, which received the electoral process began this month in Union Progreso y Democracia to celebrate the end of November of their first Congress, which all bodies will be renewed and amended and will define the policy paper to guide its action at least in the next triennium. In many parts of Spain have already held elections for delegates to the Congress, and soon will close at the national level and published their results. UPyD militants have read the proposals of the candidates, heard at the meeting and have chosen through open and secret voting lists to which of them have earned more trust. It was enormously satisfying to hear at the meeting for that purpose was held in Palma last weekend when some militant calling for a ballot to replace the filled and he brought home, "because I heard this girl and I liked it" . Democracy in its purest form, with unforeseeable consequences in the old parties, like the surprise election of any candidate almost unknown among the members, only through the power of ideas and persuasion. Unforeseeable consequences in a few games in which spontaneity, sincerity and appeal principles and not the interest of the franchise motor life and passed away far too long.

Open lists are just one of the measures advocated UPyD to promote a higher quality of our democracy, along with the replacement of the district by the state or provincial, and defend many of the single division that corresponds with the character National Congress of Deputies, respectively measures allow greater autonomy for the elected representatives with respect to the executive party and, therefore, a more democratic selection, and effective equality of all votes, so it was impossible that as it happens Today, the PNV multiply by six the number of seats in UPyD having received fewer votes. Overcoming the poor democracy, pro forma reach all the inner levels of the game: in our Congress in November, delegates elected by the same procedure open single list of 150 militants who later formed in our deliberative body, the Political Council without these effects is relevant to the community from candidates, as we believe corresponds to a national body. All members, not just delegates to the Congress, direct vote by electronic ballot the team that will lead the party in the coming years from the Board, through as many candidates as members wish, because, unlike what happens in other parties, in any phase of this organic renewal applicants is required signatures or endorsement. Clearly the difference pseudoelectorales processes in the old parties, which almost invariably will be resolved to their respective domes by direct appointment by delegates or media coverage. So obvious that the mere possibility that it sets an example makes some prefer silence or distort. But facts are stubborn, and who we embarked two years ago in this adventure of democratic regeneration, too. Digital Journalist. World-Day Baleares. Liberal Spain.
