I State forum of Xn@s of Base for the Refoundation of the Left

After several months of gestation and presentations previous to ratification for Madrid, Seville, Bilbao and Barcelona, the light has just seen this call that it will take place in Madrid, on Saturday, the 24th of April, from 11 until 18 hours, in the vallecana parish Santo Tomás de Villanueva, to which it is already possible to register.
Since he wants that these initiatives lately were waking up certain mistrust, from the motive group it has wanted to be made very clear that, although this initiative has been promoted by close left and in her there are involved both militants of IU and many other persons of lefts that are not partial, the clear target is to be employed for the Refoundation of the Left at a wide sense. A refoundation that from his gestation he already foresees in his work plans, “the concision and making of the political proposals that will join to the New Political Program and the debate on the characteristics of the new political and social movement that will be born of the process participativo and plural of refoundation of the Left”.
Precisely, and for the same reasons of these desconfianzas that although they are more or less general, they are still evident more in the bosom of what we call the people of church of base, great and many people were saying to us that they were waited after there saw those who were beginning pushing the car to sign up to the project. For it since it has been that there has already been included a posy of initial supports between which there stand out conocid@s representatives of the world of the theology as Julio Lois, Margarita Pintos, Evaristo Villar or Juan José Tamayo, of the sociology, like Carlos Pereda or Rafael Díaz Salazar, of the history as Joan Surroca i sens, of the religious journalism like Charo Mármol or Borja Aguirre, of Popular Christian Communities like Carlos Fernandez Ordóñez, or Javier Domínguez, the people of the HOAC, of Christians for the socialism, etc.

As one is said in the same call, that you can see it completes further down, “The meeting between the church of base and the left was decisive, from the 50s, to construct the social and political resistance movement against the dictatorship and throughout the Christian years of basic, communist, socialistic, libertarian... we have been and recognized in multitude of struggles and unitary mobilizations” That's why, in a few moments of systemic crisis, where the politics is so devalued, the political class, - in many cases for proper merits - with very few credibility and the left completely desesperanzada and disappointed, believe that a call like that is essential to the Christians and base Christians who in Spain work and fight every day to transform this society, which some we call a God's Kingdom and others and others, socialistic society and it would automanage or simply, socialism of the XXIst century. Finally, the refoundation of the Left in Spain is an essential task for the democratic regeneration of this country, and this one will not be able to be carried out without the participation and contribute them of the Christians and Christians of base.
To obtain more information, it is possible to consult on the Web page enabled to the effect "www.refundandolaizquierda.net" and to support this initiative or to register in I Meeting of April 24, to write to: cristianosdebase@refundandolaizquierda.net. Bearing in mind that the term of inscription in the Meeting finishes on April 15, 2010.

There keep on being a few tramPPosos, PSOEstafadores

Illustrative this picture of Caravaggio whose title, "The tricky ones", allows us to accompany our denunciation of a more poetical and artistic way. It is not the first time that we denounce the hypocrisy of two majority parties that usually try to give us lessons of morality, kindheartedness and well to do, but that at the time of the truth get into debt in without rectifying one of the biggest political injustices of this country because obviously he benefits him enormously. We refer skylight it is to the unjust, very old and disproportionate Electoral Law. A strategy that if hardly it was possible to accept in the Spanish transition (so as almost everybody knows it was used to minimize strong and foreseeable ascent of the powerful communist party of that time CPS), today is not supported by any means, let's look where we look at it at it. And his advocates therefore cannot be qualified for less of ventajistas and tricky, that flame is like the people to those who use a few means to extract advantage or to gain what does not correspond to them.
Almost we have already got bored crying out in the desert on this well-worn topic (http://luisangelaguilar.blogspot.com/search/label/Ley%20electoral), but the fact is that today, (to see agency note "http://www.europapress.es/nacional/noticia-psoe-pp-nacionalistas-rechazan-reforma-electoral-fondo-sugirio-consejo-estado-apoyaba-iu-upyd-20100317200328.html") Spanish socialist party and PP they have pushed back, after a year of inoperative "demosleslargas" commission, and of course, now with the support of the nationalists, the possibility of improving or of updating an electoral law, which is 25 years old behind him. It was the Council of the State the one that was suggesting changes to improve the proportionality of this unjust system, which obviously IU and UpD like more affected parties were supporting, but none of the possible changes have been accepted. To increase up to 400 the number of deputies, taking refuge in the forecast contemplated in the Constitution of 1978, nor to diminish from two to one the initial minimal representation of every provincial district, nor to look for any more proportional and just electoral formula than the current law D'Hont.

THIS COUNTRY WORRIES ME

“ After visiting the wonderland, Alice got into a mirror to discover the world the other way round. If Alice was reborn in our days, he would not need to cross any mirror: it would be enough to him to appear to the window”. (Eduardo Galeano in Upside down)
It has been days since I thought to begin writing a book on the world the other way round in which we live, and suddenly, as if of an index it was talking each other, twelve chapters went out for me, just remembering the last atrocities happened in Spain. And the truth is that any of us might - without a lot of effort - remember tens cases:
* A few leaders that Socialists say to themselves and who every day grant more favors to the banking and to the capital, which to the hard-working class to which one day they said to defend;
* The popular some covered with mud up to the eyebrows for the multiple cases of corruption in his lines that so soon call to the fiscal rebellion or are evident against a pensionazo that they would apply more incisively;
* A few Bishops neo-ultra-conservadores that have never been evident in the street not against the famine in the world, not for 0,7 %, and now they belong to more pancarteros to stop a Law, to knock down a government or both things simultaneously;
* A few pharmaceutical multinationals that cheat to many docile governments with that thing about the Flu "A" and that we do the game to them without knowing than to do now with 33 million vaccines;
* A few mass media that far from reporting objectively only are to the partisan dictation and come, as in case of HURRY and the Country to lie and to spread news that they know that they are false to save his commercial interests (Example the connection ETA FARC and the false offense planned in Madrid); or
* a few “magicians of the brick”, responsible for the town-planning corruption, that as in case of the "well-digger", they stand out to his wide ones – as well as them for them corrupted - while who the honest mayor of IU dares to denounce his violent acts, like Manuel Fuentes, in Seseña, is the one that pays the deposits and appears before the justice. The world the other way round.
But there are two topics that over all these, they fulfill the glass of the ethics, the politics and the democracy. I refer to the madness of the wars, with the concealing cynicism of those who have to justify the unjustifiable thing, and the political corruption that after the last events “the moustaches against Waiter” the most elementary foundations of a democracy already undermine.
Because beyond the contradictions, incoherences and discrepancies - that we all have them - what it is not possible to allow in this country is that, the majority we are against the wars, that it has been demonstrated that if in the previous one against IRAQ that thing about was a lie the weapons of mass destruction, in this one of AFGHANISTAN it is a lie that we are in humanitarian mission, and that our government keeps on ordering more and more troops, wasting a fortune in crisis times, instead of bringing to him those who there take more than 9 years of war.
Finally this false constitutional state where they sell already even at the judges, we had seen it with the case Fabra, where even 8 judges paraded, I do not know if coerced, threatened or compensated, so that they expire his more than supposed crimes.
But now Waiter updates with the esperpéntico harassment orchestrated against the judge, - where in “it does not go any more” of the nonsenses, who allows, to supposed corrupt chased by the penal justice – the moustaches - to declare more like witness against the judge that it ordered to obtain the tests for his accusation, and that dared to uncover this big corrupt plot that is the case Gürtel.
Since valiantly he has declared the one that was a fiscal anticorruption of the State until the PP took it from itself of in average, our friend Carlos J. Villarejo, “The admission of this complaint (against Waiter) constitutes the most serious form produced till now in Spain of objective alliance of the courts and the corrupt ones, because it transmits a clear message of cover of his conducts and of possible impunity”. We go that corrupt and gangsters aim at a new one so much on having accused of corruption the honorable judge that if it dared to investigate them. Anyway, that thing about the deputy alguacilado and the judged judge would be a good seasoning if it will not turn out to be so dramatic as pathetic.

CRISIS AND DECREASE

We begin this year writing on a topic perhaps antipathetic, - a seemingly negative term - that of course is not very popular. The "decrease", it is a philosophy that raises us that “it is possible to live with much less, to live better”, or to work less, so that tod@s they could to do it. Mahatma Gandhi expressed it in an unbeatable way: "To live simply so that they all could, simply to live”.

Although the word “decrease“ has begun becoming popular not long ago, the concept is not completely new. His precursor might be the Rumanian Georgescu-Roegen, but it becomes popular in France for 2002 of the hand of Serge Latouche, André Gorz and Jacques Ellul, and in Spain in 2006 with Taibo, Riechmann, Surroca or recent Robin of the banks. Now, with a systemic crisis, in which it already does not cost the “sustainable growth” (clear oxymoron), it is when it seems that he takes seriously; and less evil than groups as ecologists in action, Christian communities and some others have begun placing it in the social, political agenda and environmental way. Both the citizenship and the governments, and surely the parties, - at least those of lefts - we should go incorporating them in our agendas and worries.
Before the unpublished systemic crisis in which we are it cannot be that it is paid by those who have not provoked it, it does not even cost the old deceit of which we can go out without a system change, since the capitalism has been demonstrated unjustly, unviably and untenable. Nor basting that tod@s we check our levels of consumption, which will be necessary to do it, for that one of that we are living over our planetary possibilities (ecological trace). It is essential that a change occurs in the productive model, in the work, the transport or the energy.
For the first time in the history the ground has said: Be enough!. We overcome in 30 % the biocapacity of the planet and it is necessary to restate our life system since, if already some time ago that it was clear that in a finite world, we could not to grow – and to consume in an infinite way, now the only option that we have left is to "decrease". And the more let's be late in doing it and in rectifying, the more we will mortgage the life of our future generations.
What how can we do it? It is the question of the million and symposiums and seminars will have to go tackling it. But although more specially we could treat these questions further on, they stay here, someone the alternatives that must to us join the “objectors of the growth”:
+ In the individual thing: To work less, to live more intensely, more conventional train and less BIRD, to support the alternatives echo - bio-justo, to reduce the ecological trace, to copy the knowledge of the nature and the ecosystems (biomímesis) or to claim the free time opposite to the obsessive work.
+ In the community thing, to favor the relocations, to encourage the cooperatives, to recover the exchange, or to promote the public transport.
+ And in the political thing: to change the excessive dependency on the fossil energies, to re-turn the armies, to reduce the industry armamentística (included NATO), the car one, the aeronautics or that of the brick, to eliminate the transvases politics, or to demand a legal frame, that not mere declarations as the last ones of Copenhagen, which should guarantee politics decrecentistas.

To the president of the CEE, in key of fraternal Correction

Valued brother:
With the due respect like citizen, and in key of the evangelical "fraternal correction", like believer in the same Jesus de Nazareth that you (or I think that), I direct to the maximum authority eclesial as regards a few declarations spilled by D. Javier Martínez, Archbishop of Granada in his homily of Sunday, the 20th of December 2009 in the Holy Church Cathedral of Granada for myself, in that Nazi compares the abortion with the genocide.

The textual appointments, which it her already will know say this way: "Few sadder images in the history that the one that our parliamentarians have offered applauding what finally has turned into a right: to kill children in the bosom of the mother. And do they call it to that a progress? There is promulgated a law that puts thousands of professionals (doctors, nurses, …) - especially, them - in situations very similar to those that the doctors or the soldiers had to confront under the diet of Hitler or of Stalin, or in any of the dictatorships that existed in the XXth century and that really established the legality of other crimes, less disgusting than that of the abortion.” (pdf, pag 2)
“ She is the humanity the one that steps back with this silent genocide to which we are invited and that now is promoted, genocide that is imposed on certain professionals as if it was an obligation – I repeat: the same type of obligation as those who had the officials in the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald in which they could not rebel because there were top orders-.” (pdf, pag 3).

The complete text of the above mentioned homily can be unloaded in pdf from this page of the diocese of Granada: http://diocesisgranada.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/homiliacatedral20diciembre20092.pdf
Along with several thousands of persons that we have just constituted a platform in Facebook, (“That the justicie operates against the Archbishop of Granada”), I think that to compare both things and to qualify the murder abortion is already a serious accusation, but I believe also, that the declarations of the Archbishop could be punishable, especially for this phrase of the page 2 of the above mentioned homily in which the archbishop affirms:
“ But to kill a defenseless child: and that her own mother does it! That gives to the males the absolute license, without limits, of abusing the body of the woman ”.

We are great that we believe that the above mentioned phrase is equivalent to incite to the violence against the women who have aborted. For it, simply like Spanish citizen I would like knowing if legally these declarations so serious that we would not tolerate to the representatives of other religions and/or political groups in our country, could be constitutive of crime, that's why that thing about the platform. And like believing member of the Christian communities popular (CCP) of the Spanish state, I invite him to to threaten to his brother in the bishopric to rectify similar atrocity and I calmed this majority of Bishops of the conference at that you preside because the times of the national Catholicism they happened already and fortunately they will not return not although they were going so far as to live through any more years than Matusalén.
Being grateful in advance for his attention he says goodbye fraternally,
Luis Ángel Aguilar Montero,
member of CCP and provincial coordinator of IU

Shoemaker orders more troops to Afghanistan violating the “Board of National Defense 1-2008” that he approved himself

Lara writes Key in his Facebook wall that:” In Afghanistan, from the invasion, we have spent 1.500 million euros. This is the same quantity that this year devotes itself in the General Budgets of the State to the dependency law. In 2010 we will spend 365 million euros in Afghanistan, with what 50.000 work places might be created for 6 months for the idle ones who do not receive subsidy, or create 180.000 squares of infantile schools from 0 to 3 years ”.
The truth is that I already do not know that more we can write, all the times more we have to demonstrate, not even all the surveys we have the Spanish / experts to be gained so that this government - that in his organs propagandists gives them to itself of more antiwarmonger, that not antimilitarist - not only does not take any more troops to this absurd, immoral and interested war (for the clear USA), but it brings them to house: ALREADY!
Because in addition to everything above mentioned, the height of the nonsenses, - if it is that there could be someone more in this topic - it is that our presence in Afghanistan violates systematically the Board of National Defense 1-2008, which approved the Spanish socialist party and the proper president Shoemaker sanctioned in December, 2008.
This is easy to verify, you have only to visit the proper Web of the navy www.armada.mde.es, and bend the PDF of the said Board or to puncture this linkage, http://bit.ly/7ny8Yl to verify that the authorization that gives our Parliament to the Government when, against what he was proposing IU, he allows to send more troops to Afghanistan, is for the reconstruction of the massacred country, and everybody knows – and this way even it lets me know about it in my blog, the fiancée of a soldier who went to Iraq and now there - that is not that what they are doing, but everything opposite.
For all this, let's extract our stickers again of NOT TO THE WAR and let's demand the entire and definitive retreat of our troops in Afghanistan as soon as possible, because, as there says the group of facebook created to the effect, of which I am part http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=162366688424, “our troops are not defending not even protecting the Spanish citizens. His presence as army occupant in a country in war, makes us more vulnerable like possible target of the international terrorism. The peace and the safety of Afghanistan have been seen every day more reduced due to the presence of foreign troops in the country. The Spanish Parliament only gave permission to the Government for a "mission of peace" and not for "operations of war" that are those that in fact our army is carrying out in Afghanistan. And because after almost a hundred of dead Spanish military men in Afghanistan (yesterday it was 99), our peace and our safety, as those of the Afghan people, were never any more in danger that now ”.

WE HAVE 39.000 VOTES, BUT IN CLM THEY DO NOT GIVE US VOICE

I hope and in the next elections the citizenship us of his confidence and in IU let's be able to gain access to the regional parliament, since at present only in CLM there is a democratic deficit such that alone PP and Spanish socialist party have presence. Quite for the regional electoral Law, more unjust than already of for himself state.
When our regional coordinator warned this week the Spanish socialist party that “that there exists the possibility that in the next elections it could gain the People's Party and for us it is very sad is that the Spanish socialist party gets into debt in stopping out of the Spanish Parliament to an alternative vote of lefts to the conservative politics of the PP“ in the Spanish socialist party Mr. Valverde and Gentleman have not been late in going out, Vice-president of the government and spokesman, respectively, to throw his habitual tirades saying that IU what it has to do is to extract more votes.
Not to be tiring any more with the topic, and since I am not going to say it better than my partner, I enclose you the answer of Daniel Martínez, regional coordinator of IU, which puts clearly the finger in the ulcer:

We have votes
At this point it can surprise nobody or surprise that from Izquierda Unida we support the claim necessary to modify the regional electoral law to make her more just and democratic. It is not a question of covering partisan targets or of acquitting proper weaknesses, it is a question of defending and of demanding that there should be fulfilled basic and top constitutional beginning of the Spanish juridical arranging and of the Great Letter. Although it could surprise other politicians, there are persons, groups, social organizations and political education that value the need to respect beginning and democratic values as the political pluralism, the freedom, the justice and the equality; what we are going to do!, we are like that. On the contrary, it is clear that some of them only think of supporting at all costs the armchair and the power over everything.
The truly strange and surprising thing is that in the region we keep on suffering, all the citizens and city dwellers, the consequences of supporting an electoral law that disables to translate in benches the votes that obtain the alternative political education to the Spanish socialist party and to the PP and, especially, of supporting a clear discrimination between the citizenship since a few votes have more value than others. While the PP and the Spanish socialist party in Castilla-La Mancha obtain a regional deputy for every 22.000, IU with almost 40.000 votes does not have any deputy. Where does stay the universal, free, direct, equal and secret suffrage? Where is the proportional electoral system that gathers like order the Constitution and the Statute of Autonomy?
Although I do not share the sense of the declarations of the expartner and now Vice-president of the regional Government, Mr. Valverde, is right in pointing out that it is a votes question, but it is that the votes are, we have them, they exist, the problem is the filter to which one submits them for will of those who today govern us. He is not an any politician and in spite of his forced declarations it knows well the problem of fund.
The democratic deficit that our Spanish Parliament suffers has no comparison in any other autonomic parliament of the country. Along with Extremadura we are the only two-party region as for the composition of the regional parliament, being the case of the Extremaduran purely circumstantial since with a million inhabitants less than Castilla-La Mancha 65 deputies are elected, that is to say, 18 more. In Aragon 67 are the deputies to be chosen, twenty more than 47 current ones here; there are 730.000 inhabitants less. The comparisons prove sangrantes, Aragon with less extension and less inhabitants it has 20 more regional deputies. This way we might continue with any other autonomous region. The one through that we live in Castilla-La Mancha is an unjust and slightly democratic situation only defensible and justifiable for few ones from the perspective of the maintenance or the access to the power over everything. But neither the power is a justification. In other regions it governs the Spanish socialist party or the PP, for many years with historical absolute majorities (Aragon, Extremadura, Andalusia...), and they have up to five political education, because they are provided with electoral, more proportional and less unjust laws, which channel better the plurality of thought of the society.
What this in game is the democratic quality of a region, the democratic health of Castilla-La Mancha and of a few Spanish Parliament that do not represent the existing political and social plurality.
