The privatization of the pensions and the interested journalist

Look at Etxezarreta he has studying for many years the topic of the pensions. In fact, I believe that his first alerts on the topic must already have almost twenty years. The teacher of economic policy of the UAB was of the first ones in realizing the voracious appetite that the public pensions funds were waking up for banks and private financiers, the enormous possibility of speculation that were losing the carroñeros, and how profitable could become for these speculators to turn a few sure pensions (that were removing the biggest retired persons of the risk of dependency and an absolute instability) in a new game of roulette where it is already known that the banking always wins and the poor always lose.

Today, in Public, they publish an interview immediately after his recent book on the topic. The economist declares that "it does not see for any side the danger of the pensions", and he says very sensible things on why it must not be any dogma to balance this account (supposing that it is not, that it is, and many years) when com does not demand the same, for example, the Budget of the Royal house from itself. Look it is shelling, peacefully, the truths to a journalist that it cannot catch it in false, and is splendid because he knows what he says, because he has studying it for years and nobody ever cheated it with these "signs of alert" that the offices of study of banks and boxes to the watching publish periodically to sow the alarm... hoping that with his lies it should mature another fat privatization more.

Well, like the answers of Miren they are clear and round, there is no any more space for the confusion than in the subtitle. You repair what he says: "A slightly conventional look on the problems of the public system of pensions, which for her are only interested myths." If we analyze it thoroughly:

- Slightly conventional look (look at what that one red says...)
- on the problems of the public system of pensions (but he is not saying and does not demonstrating Etxezarreta Looks that there are no problems!)
- that for her are only interested myths (that I consisted, only for her there are "interested myths". How do the serious, conventional people call, to lie shamelessly to throw the glove to our savings, to the safety of our future?)

And this subtitle catchpenny can be read in the Public progressive newspaper. Excuse the machsimo of the language, but I cannot remedy it: Order eggs!

The scandal of the squandering in crisis times

It cannot be that there are two so different realities: not even the persons most loving of the literature can justify the existence of these parallel worlds. The mockery of the enormous worn-out numbers (that not invested) in "galactic" players indicates all the wounds of a few immodest accountings in moments of crisis:

This is the story, for major inri read in It Marks: "Florentino Pérez pulled checkbook to prepare most ambitious Real Madrid of the history. A whole for 250 million euros the president spent Real Madrid supporter with the only purpose to come to the final of Champions del Bernabéu. Two minor teams as the Alcorcón, a Second B, and the Lyons, a set without qualifications in Europe, they have made to jump for the airs a galactic project. (...)

Benzema, which cost 36 millions, and Xabi Alonso, by whom 30 kilos were paid, there were the only signings that were not yesterday evening in the Bernabéu for injury and sanction, respectively. Anyway, the two were in Gerland in the going, as what nobody has alibi. They all have been participants of this noisy defeat of Champions. From Cristiano Ronaldo (96 million euros) up to Arbeloa, passing for Kaká (65 millions), Granary and Garay, Real Madrid of 250 million euros crumbled in the second disastrous part."

All this investment could have recovered, they say, with Madrid in the final of the Champions in their own stadium... The story of the dairymaid, in soccer version.

On having thought that the big salaries and transfers of a few galactic soccer players (who crumble in ninety minutes) scarcely pay taxes and therefore they do not even contribute to the common good: had not it been better that the majority of these millions that have just faded away, turned into the due taxation, they had been invested in the health of Madrid, in creating jobs, in refloating companies, in not cornering credits that they need pymes really profitable?

Up to a humiliating defeat of Madrid skylight can make us see that this world belongs to madmen, who are hypnotized by feet idols with mud and are ruled by values of device. That is of guard court to throw the money in a supposed nightmare "investment", when so many people remain without house and without job, and so many companies have to close because banks and boxes do not do his work either... That you present yourself in the control of this society like Florentino Pérez (or Espe-Ancient Aguirre yesterday next to you) there are a public danger... And that or we change the society in whom we live, or his injustice will keep on crying for a tie in a scoreboard that the only thing that it demonstrates is that not even how opium serves.

The electricity companies and the privatizations

In a wonderful corner of the Costa Brava they take three days without light, without phone... There remain affected today more than 20.000 subscribers (what it means many other persons because it is necessary to multiply for those who live in every house). Nevertheless, Endesa, responsible maxim now of this outrage, goes out with semantic affectations and asks the mass media to abstain from using the word paid. According to the company, it is a question of "clients"... And like clients, already it is known, it is possible to treat them anyway. After all, the privatized electricity companies keep on being an oligopoly: and they are in charge! Go if they are in charge! You see how: yesterday they did not attend by phone to one of 20 calls that did not even do the Catalan public television to be able to report to the citizenship. But it is more, presented President Montilla in his facilities (that not the other way round) to find out and to urge them to proceed to the repairs with the maximum urgency, the problem of absence of supply continues without solution.

For the persons biggest stayed at residences and for some clinics some generators have been obtained, but they do not come for all. Yesterday it could be read in LV that Tom Sharpe, with his peculiar sarcastic style, at his 81 years did not remember to have lived "anything similar, not even during the Second World war in England". The English, resident writer was referring in Llafranc, to having to survive without electricity, being peeled of cold and with the fear of catching "a pneumonia" that might be "fatal" in a prosperous Catalunya and in the full XXIst century that neither nobody nor nothing put itself upside down for an exceptional snowfall in places where - not at least the gigantic electrical towers of Endesa - they are prepared to support. All the Sharpe fears - that expressed when scarcely it was taking 24 hours without light of course were shared by hundreds of major persons, of mothers and parents with sick children, and by thousands of citizens who, as the days have already happened - three endless days - have had to do a retrogression to the past, to those times in which the people were living in view of the sails, he was cooking and warmed up with the firelight of the hearth or was freezing the food with ice blocks....

Also yesterday, Jordi Miralles intervened in Parlament de Catalunya on behalf of his group, ICV-EUiA there asked President Montilla to "a major control públic" on the electrical companies... Since sincerely I believe that it remained short. I dress how they behave, verified with so much rigor that they trump reiteramente in the suministo of a public service of the first need, accepted by the Government so versallescamente the tariffs increase with the beneficial aftereffect that it has had in the benefits of the companies and so harmful to the persons of low revenues (that are the immense majority), the best thing would be that we are thinking of nationalizing them again because, unlike what they wanted to do to us creeer: the market does not work! And while they prosper and they do not even cost like businessmen, the people lack a fundamental public service.

If we turn back in two clear errors (and recognized or recognizable): the elimination of the Tax on the Patrimony and the loss of economic control on the electrical companies, equal turns out that ZP can begin behind also in the increase of the VAT, which so much is going to harm the persons of minor resources, and with step we fill the public fund of the richest and of the big companies with benefits...: would not this be a good socialistic program?

The problem of the private preserves

Following a line opened by Jordi Guillot and that Hugo Martínez Abarca has answered, the first thing that comes to my mind is that it hits the phrase of which the trees do not allow to see the forest. Hugo already indicates some limitations, but I want to insist on the defeat of the lefts at the time of taking the initiative and giving a real and believable alternative to the current economic situation.

I believe that the majority of the problem there are the "preserves" in which the different organizations - and mobilizations - of the left have turned into a cyst, and they have encouraged certain claustrophobia and fugs. And this does not mean that trade union, feminists, ecologists, etc., do not keep on studying in depth the contradictions that express themselves in his concrete field of work or of interest. What lamentation is that environmental, trade union, feminist, etc., they do not share - and in too much occasions they refuse to share - a global, wide, vision rich and full of tones - common - of the system responsible for the inequality, the crisis and the collapse of values of our society. Of doing it, the struggles would come together with more facility and especially, they would be more effective and believable since they would reveal, in all his crudeness, what now goes unnoticed how: that the economic and financial crisis it is also of values and civilization and we are sinking in his muds, almost without realizing. And that the solutions do not consist of only alternatives of production, but especially of redistribution, and of social relations, and of denunciation and overcoming of not democratic powers.

If in fact we face such a global crisis, the alterative one of the lefts it has to be also global, and not a grouper sumatorio of claims or partial solutions... Not even a tactical displacement towards the right or the left (that on the other hand they can be very respectable, and even well-intentioned), not an attempt of coloring differently, making the red one more green, or eliminating violet as soon as it was spent on March 8. The real solutions are global, of a lot of depth and wide bogey: economic, social, ideological, political and of values: and of course we agree much in that by no means it can offer those who led us to this human lack of solidarity disaster.

If it is like that, the responsibility of the lefts is enormous, since the magnitude of the tragedy is such that we might advance towards the solution with immense most of the society. But for it it is necessary to contribute the best thing of everyone (his analysis, his vision, his alternatives) without claiming patents nor to demand private preserves. Because the task of the lefts is to rise of course, to raise the viewfinder and to broaden the horizons. And meanwhile, and at the same time, to share the everyday life of immense most of persons who suffer this system.

The crisi to Greece i they esquerres europees

European Xarxa de Sindicalistes of Partit de l'Esquerra assembled to Helsinki, is solidaritza amb poble grec i criticism l'atac neoliberal als drets dels treballadors. Els coordinadors, between els hi was the companya Nuria Lozano, they go aprovar a declaració that carries per títol `La crisi i l'atac neoliberal als drets dels treballadors/es to Greece i Europe´ i on is a denunciation “l'experiment grec”, dins of l'actual model of construcció European. Aquest "experiment" this one condemnant els europeus to patir polítiques autoritàries, congelació of them pensions, rebaixes salarials of fins to 30 %, privatitzacions of companyies públiques, asfíxia economic of the petita i mitjana company, an endeutament every vegada major to the l'agricultura sector, augments continus of the desocupació, especialment between them gifts, the joventut i els immigrants. The Ist tot aix ò pels interessos creats, els Tractats of the European Unió, l'anomenat agreed on Europe d'estabilitat, així com per they mesures i polítiques conservatives of Comissió Europea i els governs dels estats membres.

In opinió dels sindicalistes, the economic situació to Greece does not justify the propaganda campanya on the seva situació of frustrated, i the d'altres països that serien els següents. Aquests arguments, which veiem to them portades of molts diaris i d'altres mitjans of comunicació, són conseqüència dels atacs especulatius of the system bancari international, they anomenades institucions d'avaluació, així com of molts líders polytics "europeus" i they polítiques locals d'alguns Governs nacionals.

The current crisi of the capitalisme i els seus principals actors tenen to the sight seu punt, not només an increment dels seus guanys, mitjançant els préstecs to alt interès to Greece, sinó també augmentar the paper that juguen organitzacions internacionals com the IMF, Banc Mundial, Banc Central Europeu, etc … it is not pot to justify that aquestes institucions not estiguin subjectes to a control polític i democràtic, i that obeeixin només to lògiques conservatives i neoliberals, derivades of l'actual model of "construcció" European.

Per the seva band, Partit d'Esquerra European there is publicat també a comunicat in which dóna suport to the working classe i the poble of Greece i altres països of the South d'Europa in the seva lluita per defensar els seus drets econòmics i socials, submesos als atacs dels mercats financers conjunts i to them polítiques neoliberals i autoritàries dels seus governs nacionals i of the EU. In bona logic, the PEE considers that els problemes grec, i espanyol not són problemes nacionals sinó europeus. i they should place portuguese in dubte tota l'estructura of them polítiques neoliberals of the EU. The economic situació of Greece does not justify the propaganda that the country this one to the límit of "frustrated" i that might not sobreviure sense interconquered it day pupil i/o polítiques d'austeritat of the govern.

Give of Partit de l'Esquerra European not s'accepta that l'estabilitat of l'euro exigeix you join mesures d' austeritat so last com they proposades pels governs of the Euro area, European Joined i organitzacions internacionals his com the IMF i Banc Mundial. Totes aquestes polítiques sols benefits els interessos of the capital i augmenten l'atur i they taxes of pobresa to tot Europe, mentre that els bancs privats són rescatats pels governs nacionals i the BCE to cop of milions d'euros públics. Not hi pot haver a strategy per to place fi to the crisi sense l'enfortiment of l' real economy i l'ocupació; not hi there is més justícia in the redistribució dels beneficis sense democratització of the power i the propietat, com to condició per to the fons públics mobilització.

Als governs of Greece i d'altres estats, principalment to the South d'Europa, s'els urges to establir programme d'estabilitat, thing that augmenta l'IVA i els i mpostos, the re-carved one of salaris, the benestar i they pensions, mentre that els bancs i grans empreses mai there is estat so ben tractats. Mentrestant, els marges of benefici dels bancs privats europeus have augmentat considerablement, because of the difference between they taxes d'interès on els préstecs of the BCE (prop d '1 %) i els preus dels bons that they buy els estats (between 6 % i 7 % in the cas of Greece).

Partit de l'Esquerra European is he pronounces against els programme neoliberals d'estabilitat that are subjectant in a xantatge als Estats membres, i demanen a deep revisió seriosa i of the EU i they seves polítiques econòmiques i socials. The lluita per the democracy in l'econòmic, the promoció of the solidaritat i the protecció dels ciutadans has to be a prioritat per to totes they forces polítiques d'esquerra i els actors socials.

In aquest context, proposem quatre demand immediates that have to donate lloc to the nostra strategy commune:

1. Treball Protegir els llocs, els salaris i pensions, com the first totes prioritat they institucions europees.

2. Totes Fiscalitat they transaccions financeres especulatives i the supressió dels paradisos fiscals in the territori europeu.

3. Creació d'una Agència European d'avaluació public: Els Estats does not prune to be ostatges obtain of them of qualificació, that defensen els interessos especulatius.

4. Emissió d'Eurobons. Aix ò permetria als Estats membres prendre prestat to taxes d'interès raonables.

European L'Esquerra expressa the seva solidaritat amb tots els pobles that pateixen they conseqüències of the neoliberal capitalist crisi, i to the greu deteriorament dels drets humans i they condicions of treball, especialment per als joves, gifts i immigrants. The EU hauria of feeling molt més worried pel benestar of them present yourself that viuen to the seu territori that pels bancs i they grans empreses. Donate suport fermament to the initiative of Synaspismos SYRIZA (Greece) per a coordinated lluita of them forces polítiques of l'esquerra radical to the South d'Europa, i the seva col.laboració amb els sindicats i moviments socials, in the context dels principis generals of Partit de l'Esquerra European.

Com the first pas in aquesta articulació, proposen they següents accions:

1. Els partits of l'esquerra radical to Europe i South, PGE, it is decidit conjuntament to intensify the seva coordinació immediatament, davant els efectes of the crisi. Mentrestant, is demana to altres forces polítiques, sindicats, moviments socials i intel.lectuals progressistes d'Europa, to operate conjuntament, perquè the crisi not és a national problem, sinó a problem europeu i world.

2. 24 of sea ç there is estat declarat "Day d'acció Europeu" per Confederació Europea of Sindicats. Els partits of l'esquerra radical to Europe i South, PGE, participarà activament in aquest day d'acció mitjançant l'organització d'accions combine in them ciutats d'Europa i especialment to them capitals of the South.

3. Durant aquesta mobilització, is proposa to adopt the motto comú: "Els pobles europeus does not pay per the crisi. Anem to per l'Europa of the solidaritat!".

Toni Barbarà: He interconquered on bases argumentals per a Declaració

Per arrodonir the relat of them intervencions of the base table Argumentals per to the Declaració of Barcelona to the Day of Salut i Determinants Socials to Europe, em faltava reproduir they paraules of the metge i amic Toni Barbarà, that varen afegir an ingredient més polític to them intervencions anteriors of Joan Benach i meves. Profund coneixedor of the European realitat, Toni Barbarà goes començar referint - to marc of the European Unió i to the topic of the salut in aquest contexte.

Marc Europa …

1. - Lime to locate they presents reflections dins a realitat i a moment concret com és l'Europa that avui tenim. Aquest és the real substrat, the broth of conreu on treballar an instrument declaratiu that in surti of the Day i that haurà of dying molt present l'actual correlació of forces dins l'espectre polític of the EU. A realitat that not pretenem to ignore, malgrat the diagnosis not sigui engrescadora. Amb an Europe that desprès darreres eleccions to the Parlament of juny of 2009 se'ns every cop presents més dretana, vull dir amb més suport electoral i polític to them formacions of dretes i/o centers dreta, per ò també amb you join expressions ideològiques i polítiques més arcaiques, dretanitzades, conservatives, neoliberals, i també més xenòfobes, homòfones i racistes. An Europe profundament dyed of capitalisme i eurocentrisme.

2. - An escenari on tot just acabem d'inaugurar the Tractat of Lisbon that the ja vella coneguda sees to sacralitzar i confirming Strategy of Lisbon, altrament dit the polítiques neoliberals conjunt that ens there is dut fins to the current moment. A situació to which hem arribat desprès of maniobres tramposes i antidemocràtiques per such of d'ignorar or to manipulate the vot of the ciutadania, ja to França, to Holland or darrerament to Ireland. A Tractat that ben poques llums contributes per the construcció of social l'Europa that nosaltres aspirem i treballem. Tanmateix és cert that disposa d'un apartat annex com the Letter Partner l, per ò aquesta exposició of literature not és més that a bones intencions amb finalitat d'exculpació i maquillatge per rosari to threaten they veritables polítiques you last d'ajust econòmic.

3. - An Europe that is diu to the refence of the proper seva identitat, dins l'historia contemporània, a lloc to the món, of cohesió i personalitat socially i politics, per ò tancada i barred to the prioritat economicista, corporate i l'adoració - submissió to the mercat.

4. - An Europe immersa dins aquesta brutal macro - CRISI that it affects i determines in all ò econòmic per ò també ecològic, socially, of models, culturally, of valors i d'idees, i politics to the fi. A moltes Europe cover with stars, i a "starred" Europe, which the seva polar star surrounds that the orienti i that not veu that aquesta guide has to be social l'Europa. A situació every untenable cop més per to the treballadors survival, treballadores i classes populars, i that there is passat in pocs anys from the prestesa societat of the "benestar" to that of the "discomfort" insuportable of the immensa majoria.

5. - An Europe amb torn espanyola Presidency in aquest the first semester. A character menció "honorífic", every cop amb menys continguts reals, give of Presidency nongoes permanent. Tot plegat amb an one-handed person d'entusiasme i of brillantor preocupants, molt to the fashion d'aquesta deplorable situació on the “baix profile” polític there is esdevingut a mèrit, to l'hora d'avaluar virtuts of líders i personatges. So poc engrescadora com the seu motto “Introducing Europe”. A ple Espanya immersa in the negror of the crisi, here especialment virulent i duradora per they seves característiques causals, amb a central govern esgotant els seus rèdits electorals, installs • lat to l’ inertia of the desfeta, disposat, to give in front they exigències of the dreta i the management one, in a moment polític on looks of surviving cercant suport to the seva dreta i amb they formacions nacionalistes, i executant retallades socials so greus com the labor reform in curs or agressions so serioses com the retard recent proposta in l'edat jubilació fins als 6 7 anys, i that ja li there is estat answered to the carrer amb a multitudinous mobilització.

The topic Salut …

1. - To l'Estat espanyol, i to Catalunya com to territori autònom amb competències transferides just as they altres autonomies, avaluem a historical situació who confirms a sòlid i bon system públic of salut. An atenció amb prestigi guanyat to pols i an efficacy, i efficiency consolidades. Insistim in the concepte eficient donated the excel • lent relació between els resources emprats i els resultats obtinguts (mesurats in paràmetres of salut).

Not deixa of being paradoxal that mentre als the USA the president Obama is debat amb virulence amb they forces més reaccionaries i ultraliberals per fer possible the universal sanitary seva fita d'una assistència, per to tothom, to Europe i in concret to Espanya i Catalunya, aquest accés és a fet in force. I faces més that the cost to them arques you publish of the sanitat és als the USA superior to 14 % of the GDP mentre to Espanya és so sols of 7 % i esqueix.

2. - The més cert és per ò, com venim comprovant tota the day to Europe, which they grans corporacions multinacionals of the drugstore, the biotechnology medicates, they empreses asseguradores i they mútues patronals is decidit i they are in full execució l'assalt als fons públic i als serveis públics of the sector salut i serveis socials. Practise emprades per aquestes macro empreses transnacionals i they forces econòmiques i polítiques that els donate coverage i suport són d'una agressivitat extreme i the last seva pretensió és the final parasitació i depredació on them dels sistemes públics that avui coneixem fins to the seva liquidació or in tot cas aprimant - the fins to a marginal servei caritatiu per to pal • to tie up l'exclusió socially irreversibly. Form them i maneres, d'altra band, they are multiple i diverses i they go give of the elementary més privatització per route decret fins to sofisticats mètodes d’ enginyeria financera uncontrollably i it darkens, or to subtils fórmules mixtes of pretaut cabbage • laboració públic - private, i consorcis of tota ore. Give of "Con Con-tracte tracte" per to provisió of serveis to the "Sense-tracte" desregulat of maxim impunitat managing. To every country, to every territori, to every local history a local methodology global per fer bo l'objectiu: mercantilitzar i to liquidate the one that stays of l'estat of the benestar.

3. - I aquesta strategy is a donut to Espanya amb tota nitidesa. In alguns cases, amb governs autonòmics person in charge of segell PP (Madrid, Valencia) i of the economic dreta i political (CiU to Catalunya fins l'arribada dels Governs d'esquerres i catalanistes). In aquestes ocasions the connivance, permissivitat quan not direct complicitat or initiative són of easy comprensió. Més doloroses, per ò, proves situacions com the present to Catalunya, on amb a progrés Govern d'esquerres i, a govern tripartit (i on nosaltres, in tant that EUiA in fem part, not that sigui a petita part …) sintonitzi i fins i tot promogui fórmules externalitzadores i mercantilistes com és the cas of Departament de Salut of Generalitat de Catalunya, that knave the (historical) responsabilitat of Mrs. Geli, reactivates segones edicions d'informes d ’"experts" tipus Vilardell (continuadors d'aquells April Martorell) that pretenen to explore i oferir solucions financeres modernes - liberals per the "sostenibilitat" of the system públic of salut, i that sistemàticament reactivate globus - you sound on imposicions of noves privatitzacions, mixtificacions, limitacions, or the seu big desideratum: the COPAGAMENT. The battle és of fons i ens hi juguem the futur of the system or the seva demolició. Acceptar, suportar, patir represents the fi aquesta badly anomenada co-payer, ja sigui per servei, producte or atenció, not és altra thing to give in front a veritable RE-pagament. Repagament perquè ja hem pagat the economic nostra aportació per fiscal route i tax als resources generals of l'Estat. Not és qüestió of discussing the quantitat, symbolic or not, sinó of the esquerda to deny the concepte mateix per fal • her ç i pervers, doncs a cop installs • lada the fissura, és tot l'edifici the one that stays sentenciat fins l'enfonsament. Així doncs NI parlar-ne of “COPAGO“ perquè fora a "REPAGO".

Aquesta reflexió pays the origin of the caracterització of “gratuïtat“ denies of them atencions dins the system públic of salut: not és "free" sinó ja pagat, prepagat, give of the nostre esfor ç fiscally, … per part dels qui YES complim they obligacions tributàries, com plows els treballadors i treballadores. També volem to denounce in aquest capítol i moment them that sabem you nonsee represent mercantilitzadores d'implantació buried: retallades to the serveis inclosos portfolio to the public xarxa such per d’ to offer them in the shape of paquets d'assegurances privades (assistència dental aperture, altes tecnologies, atencions of comfort hospitalari, etc) or, faces pitjor, mitjançant bonificacions fiscals per to reward the cobertures privades contractació. Qualsevol d'aquestes operate sound igualment perverses i predators i there is of trobar the frontal nostra oposició i determined.

4. - Per to nosaltres tota gestió realment public dins the system has to guarantee the absolute transparence i control democràtic of the direcció i objectius, there is d'estar provadament desproveïda of lucre managerial tot i pel damunt there is of mesurar els resultats i rendiments in paràmetres socials i of salut i not pas in termes of prioritat economic. Not complir aquests condicionants Cas the servei not és públic (it faces that atengui "públic") i not és concertable, not externalitzable.

5. - Com veiem doncs, tot a panorama!! In full macro-crisi, veiem com creixen they desigualtats or inequitats, per motiu of gènere, of classe, d'origen, of discapacitat … Constatem com s'aprimen they atencions i qualitat in salut labor, com the mental salut segueix pendent of the full seva redenció i integració dins the system, mentre s'incrementen they malalties, conductes addicctives i patiments mentals, or fins i tot the els suïcidis. Veiem com l'atenció to the dependency i the remedy dels i of them més weak is Veiem finalment stays sense resources per to be able to supply amb sufficiency i rapidesa they mateixes previsions legals … com in són of determinants per the salut cause them socials (cause cause of them) i més enllà cause they polítiques (cause cause of them cause of them in expressió of Joan Benach).

6. - Tot aix ò explains l’ interès i the necessitat of surrounding aliances socials i polítiques per to shape an ampla front of anti-neoliberal resistance i of defense of the character-nítidament - públic of the salut, donant to més alternatives i discurs, com this one fent l'entitat "Dempeus per Salut Pública" in the seva tans per ò intense life associativa.

To Europe, so diverse, so plural, so rich in particularitats of tot tipus, afirmem that els enemics of the public salut són arreu els mateixos. Els mateixos that operate to global scale i planetary the servei of the mercat i of the capital. The mateixos protagonistes polític, i corporatius, amb els mateixos inconfusibles objectius mercantils depredadors … faces that amb models ad hoc per to every lloc, moment i situació individual. Per tant is tracta of respondre amb amples defenses, give d'un acord globally i multinational, to European scale, per ò amb concrecions arreu, respostes locals i nacionals, i that to més haurà d'abastar you are afraid of the major interdisciplinarietat, the transversalitat dels i determinants.

7. - Com diu the WHO “posant the salut in totes they polítiques” i com diem here «posant the salut in tots els polítics … i they seves agendes»...

Jornades BCN-Salut - Interconquered Dempeus per Salut Pública

Algunes notice give from “Dempeus per Salut Pública” to the Day on Salut i Determinants Socials to Europe:

Agraint that the nostra organització hagi estat invited to aquestes Jornades, voldria començar exposant you join hipòtesi that to aquestes alçades of the Day, desprès of feeling they intervencions of them you present yourself convidades of them delegacions internacionals (i especially of Greece, Alemanya i França) crec that ja podríem gosar-ne dir FETS. Uns fets plens d'interrogants i that ens deixen molts deures per fer, per ò that in síntesi podrien to sum up in els següents punts:

1. - The precarització of the public salut global és, is not he limits to the sun country, European affects to tota the civilització (és a pernicious conseqüència in salut of the GLOBALITZACIÓ) Lime an anàlisi of dimensió, i desprès of veure that hem of fer per nosaltres, estendre també the solidaritat in salut per combatre, between altres objectius més globals, the desigualtat, the desnutrició i they malalties to the món. What fer i podem fer hem do you give of l'UE? Com podem cabbage • to work to a united globalització i in positiu in salut?

2. - The salut is she places in a dels epicenters of the lluita between economy i political, between them instruccions of the neoliberalisme (sense cap visió conspiratorial) i els drets i necessitats of them present yourself. (Lime endegar doncs, a lluita ciutadana that acompanyi i sigui part integrant of the political lluita)

3. - Qualsevol atac to the salut represents an atac paral • lel to l'autonomia of them present yourself i to the qualitat of the democracy of the country of reference. I és that nosaltres entenem SALUT I AUTONOMY, to més from com to drets, com to necessitats bàsiques, universals, that polítiques econòmiques, to tots els nivells, exist d'atendre.

4. - The privatització situació, externalització i one-handed person d'equitat dels serveis is correspon amb you join polítiques neoliberals that lime aturar in bé mateix of the humanitat. To take control in aquest camp és també of one crunches civilitzadora, one crunches that permet that the humanitat avanci in the progrés ben entities, per a way of human viure més i més deigns.

5. The CE, a territori on they desigualtats s'incrementen, és one of them diffusers, promoters i "sponsors" of them polítiques neoliberals. I lime that passi to be of nou a driving i garant of drets of ciutadania i conquestes obreres aconseguides. (In the millor sentit of the paraula, hem of plantejar - us the retorn to l'EUROPA partisan of the democracy, of the paraula returns the power i to the ciutadania).

6. - The salut not és a merchandise. Lime to denounce els negocis rough i gairebé delictius that he is a fan per to try to turn it into a consum bé in lloc of the dret that és i has to continue sent. (the dret to the salut, com l'Estat del Benestar that is cap goes to Europe aconseguir, és a dret aconseguir in lluites doloroses, not és regal d'un capitalisme magnànim).

If acceptem to consider i acceptar com to treball material in aquesta Day els punts anteriors, i desprès of the seva anàlisi, segurament s'obriran you nonsee crunch specify to discussing, of divers nivell, per ò totes elles importants: regulacions, nacionalitzacions (if lime), impuls dels genèrics, assegurar the tota coverage the European població in temes of salut, visibilitzar pels drets i the equitat malalties that is volen amagades, assegurar they mateixes prestacions i drets to them present yourself immigrades... Potser, també, propostes of directives. Per ò, that I hope that it is vegi amb tota claredat és the necessitat of the CANVI OF ECONOMIC POLICY in temes sanitaris i of salut, perquè els treballadors i treballadores d'Europa not in surtin més perdedors d'aquesta crisi, i in a terreny so especialment sensitively.

If hypothesis són mínimament ajustades to the realitat, quines serien you crunch to them that podem fer you give of the ciutadania? D'entrada, potser not ens lime to invent nou animal, sols to remember érem com, com i per what lluitàvem in altres moments that they classes populars, the European ciutadania, was showing the initiative. A civil societat that you give of finals of the IIGM fins gairebé the començament dels 80 goes aconseguir uns nivells d'igualtat i of benestar inèdits in the procés civilitzador.

Com sabem, Estats Units i Europe does not supply of the IInd GM in igualtat of condicions. Els EUA juguen in solitari the vencedors ignorant paper the contribució to the allied victory of the Soviet Unió i combatent a model econòmic alternative that in GM s'estén i guanya adeptes finishes the IInd to Europe. Els països europeus tenen the veïnatge immediat d'una possible alternative, i the capital europeu not pot to choose-amb governs of coalició i in molts països amb alts percentatges of vot als Partits Comunistes - per polítiques centrades únicament in els seus interessos, com yes that is prunes permetre als Estats Units. Així, fins als anys 70, in the majoria of països d'Europa i fruit of the correlació of forces (sindicats forts, moviment obrer organitzat) s'opta per polítiques of full ocupació i serveis públics universals, between ells els sanitaris, in an out-standing way, mentre that els Estats Units does not advance més enllà of them conquestes of Seguretat Social of l'any 35 i that they form part of New Deal of Roosvelt. Sols lime veure com Obama s'estavella a vegada rere l'altra per aconseguir a Pla de Salut that goes to form part of the electoral program that the va to carry to the victory, per ò that s'està fent estelles. In the terreny econòmic i financer, els USA són it faces l'imperi that és to the vegada the big world deutor gràcies als privilegis of the dollar, per ò that deuen the seu paper hegemònic to l'explotació of the working seva classe i that of the subtraction of països amb els that mantenen relacions comercials, or of simple dominació i to be the cau of rapinya of the big capital financer internationally.

A mica abans d’ Obama, per ò, in els anys 80, the globalització ja is going començar to bring near models amb els governs of R. Reagan i M. Thatcher, the industrial reconversió, els primers atacs importants to Europe against els sindicats i they conquestes obreres, i finalment, l'enfonsament of the USSR i the majoria of països that is reclamaven "socialisme really".

1989 not és només l'any of the caiguda of the mur that separava the RDA of the RFA, sinó the caiguda dels murs that frenaven they bandes d'expansió that the capitalisme necessitava. Com a delegate goes dir to the Conference of them Gifts of Beijing (1995), the mur of Berlin goes caure on them gifts, perquè to them polítiques neoliberals s'intensifica the biaix of classe i of gènere. Per ò crec that podem to affirm, plows també, that the mur goes caure on the dret to the salut i on the salut majoria dels determinants to Europe. The official baptisme of nongoes situació there is celebrates amb the Consens of Washington (1990) amb l'acord tant of Partit Demòcrata com of the Republic, i l'aplaudiment dels principals dirigents polítics i econòmics of tot the món. The Consens of Washington marks they directrius per aprofitar they vies obertes of it nongoes mundialització, i perquè prosperin they polítiques of desregulació, privatitzadores, of reducció of the public despesa. . És to dir, the neoliberal somni of them polítiques necessàries per assegurar the creixement sense turn of the capitalisme... the qual sews implicarà to the seu torn the retorn dels seus inevitable crisi, quan in the període 45-73 semblaven haver desaparegut, i marcarà també l'enfocament ultraliberal in the construcció of the European Unió.

Podríem to donate a symbolic byline to the triomf of the neoliberalisme amb the l'abolició of Glass-Steagal Act (Llei de Regulació of the Banking of Roosvelt) feta per Clinton in 1999. The resultat not pot to be pitjor: s'obre one distances every big vegada més between l'economia really (that, marge of the technological revolució enormous i els productivitat increments, not pot to produce els beneficis that the capital expects pels baixos salaris i pèssimes condicions from life of the majoria of the població) i l'economia financera that, com més avança, més you nonsee vies d'expansió necessita, They is practised by you parasitàries of the capital financer fins contaminate the industrial capital to the punt that és difficult knowledge on comença one i finishes l'altre. (Bona part of them penúries i dificultats that travessa actualment the població grega i that ens exists explicat aquest matí in the seva interconquered the company Dimitri Adamopoylos tea the seva explicació to the seu of Goldman Sachs) I d'aquesta ore of construcció impossible of so difficult delimitació does not escape in absolut the sector of the salut. Com crec that there would say the professor Joan Benach, that m'ha precedit in l'ús of the paraula, tots els determinants of salut empitjoren.

World L'ofensiva against els serveis públics of protecció social s'origina amb they polítiques neoliberals dels anys 80 i the difonen they institucions supranacionals (OMC, IMF, BM), that promouen the privatització or reducció dels sectors that they represent conquestes obreres or of ciutadania, posant com to condició per to ajudes econòmiques or fins i tot the proper qualitat of membre, the reducció of the public despesa, the "aprimament" of l'Estat (especially, they polítiques of benestar i "amigues of them gifts") i obrir així you nonsee vies of creixement the benefici privat from the privatització or "colonització" dels serveis més necessaris (i per tant, potencialment més rendibles) of the sector públic. Així is construeix l'assalt globalitzat to the salut i system to the system públic of pensions (i on it falls sick not s'aconsegueix, he is they go renovant in a periodic way threaten them of frustrated with the system públic, to set off d'estudis finançats pels més interessats (they patronals sanitàries i els grans bancs i caixes).

Offensive international per the privatització

In 1999, l' Acord General of Eating ç i Serveis de l'OMC goes imposar importants limitacions als Estats in polítiques ecològiques, serveis municipals, sanejament i gestió of residus, i it goes to force els Estats membre to menors regulacions i to repeal normes that limit the llicència d'obertura d'hospitals or serveis sanitaris privats If an Estat not compleix, l'OMC pot to expel l'estat rebel condemnant to l'aïllament econòmic. Aquesta limitació dels Estats represents the political sobirania grans beneficis per to them empreses privades. To més, com denounce diverse autors, the mercantilització dels serveis públics makes difficult to donate a resposta adequada to them crisis sanitàries, perquè fins i tot in them seves fórmules més suaus in what the public seva titularitat is a conserve nominativament i the gratuïtat, tendeixen after com endures segons the mercat i tracten logic to them poblacions to consumidors, sense altres drets.

In aquests 20 últims anys d'hegemonia neoliberal - i especially els darrers 10 anys you give dels Acords of the Ministerial Conference of the OMC to Seattle - give of them institucions econòmiques internacionals it is recomanen diferents estratègies per rendibilitzar els center sanitaris amb seen to the later seva privatització consistents in:

1) To debilitate i to fragment the sector públic.

2) To escape of the comptes rendiment democràtic, introducció of procediments gens transparents i to donate every vegada més pes to empreses privades.

3) To deprive a part important of the població dels drets laborals i of ciutadania aconseguits (joves i precarietat labor, malalties emergents, amenaça of noves inclusions of patologies mentals...)

In aquest sentit, the sector of the serious salut sols an exemple més to be dyed in compte, perquè és tota the societat that pateix a painful revinclada in the way of viure, the culture, i you join jerarquies assumides i compartides that són menys desiguals that they that vindran, i s'empobreixen uns valors of coexistence per uns altres that sols work if it is mantenen they velles solidaritats of base (that vol dir treball gratuït or to molt bon preu, especially of joves i of gifts).

The Ist aquesta és, in síntesi, the politics that European Joined in formació fa seva. A thought-out politics i structured give d'uns Estats Units that mai varen conèixer the salut com a dret: l'atenció sanitary of qualitat there is estat considered a merchandise, i l'atenció sanitary paid sense assegurances, sense pagament or copagament, a caritat.

If miréssim sense not even nostalgia the passat of which venim, of them esplèndides lluites ciutadanes europees d'abans of the Tractat of Maastrich i of them estúpides normes of Pacte d'Estabilitat i Creixement Europeu-és to dir, abans from the traducció to the European politics of the Consens of Washington convertit in the Brussel politics • they, fins i tot knave l'amenaça of coaccions i sancions - trobaríem they claus of the one that this one passant plows també. Sols that plows ens enfrontem to més-i també in the camp of the salut - amb trenta thousand miralls deformants per fer - us perdre, i a diners esmerçats quantitat ingent in the construcció d'una ideology feta to mida per mercenaris that boicotegen diàriament i sistemàticament els valors of the públic, of the cabbage • lectiu.

Com podem, give of the ciutadania, to donate the volta to the situació i to claim the public salut i l'autonomia of them present yourself, i the satisfacció of them seves necessitats bàsiques com the natural way i human of viure?

Lime fer a sumatori potent of them reivindicacions "parcials" of the temporary públic i transcendint l'horitzó d'algunes reivindicacions that s'esgoten massa ràpid in the temps i l'espai if it is not they link amb lluites germanes, per ò that is volen interessadament separades.

Dempeus per the public salut, entén the salut in a sentit positiu, not the contraposem to the malaltia concepte. Entenem that the Salut és a way of autonomous viure, joiosa, full, united i harmonica amb one or one mateixa, amb the subtraction of them you present yourself, amb the terra i tot l'entorn. Nosaltres ens guiem per three objectius fonamentals:

1. - The defense of the character PÚBLIC of the national system of salut. In argued form give of the rigor científic i d'interès cabbage • lectiu, the social bondat, the political justícia i l'oportunitat of the moment, defensant the universalitat i the qualitat of the system públic of salut.

2. - Social Participació, "empoderament" i co-decisió, incorporant the big ventall of potencialitat of the xarxa of civil societat organitzada, they associacions that lluiten per a life millor i els grups d'ajuda. The salut, naturalment public per essència i concepció, sols ho pot to be if it incorporates aquests agents socials sense preconceptes, not sectarismes.

3. - Qualitat Enfocament interdisciplinari i of them you nonsee patologies emergents, moltes d'elles relacionades amb the chemical violentació of the nature i the psychological violació ingenious viure d'una in societat that emmalalteix to them you present yourself. They mateixes cause that they provoke the canvi climàtic i fan emmalaltir els camps i enverinen they aigües, create també you nonsee form of malalties.

The camí segueix essent of trencar barreres, that of the social Mobilització i the political Mobilització. I, in fer-ho, enfortir the social transversalitat i to demonstrate that not hi there is cap Xina's wall between the defense of that sembrem i that produïm, the fact that investiguem i the fact that ensenyem, the salut, the democracy, l'economia to the servei of them you present yourself i the politics in the noble sentit més of the paraula: the respecte to the terra i to which ens envolta, i the bona gestió - the bon govern - of that és of tots, per part of tots i in interès of the immensa majoria of the població, gifts, homes i infants, sense exclusions, in igualtat. If em permeteu, aquesta és l'autèntica ecology that Europe necessita. Not hi pot haver an ecological gestió i sustainable of the compatible medi amb l'explotació of the pagesia, of them treballadores i els treballadors, amb double i triple explotació of them gifts, amb l'enverinament dels nostres cossos i of the nostre angers, amb l'apropiació indeguda (the piracy quotidiana) of that és of totes i of tots.

Pel that fa to the thematic transversalitat hi is camp per córrer i per to donate us suport mútuament amb els sindicats, amb they associacions of veïns, amb totes they ONG, organitzacions d'ajuda mútua i associacions cíviques that is claims d'una altra social culture, d'una altre ingenious d'entendre the life.

The system s'ha especialitzat in frustrating the construcció of maneres of viure alternatives to l'afany of lucre d'uns quants, i the seu to be able d'argumentació is manifesta i resumeix in expressions so cruels com ben escollides com they that ens it goes to explain a magnífic economist who goes to be to form part també of them Brigades Internacionals of defense of the Republic Espanyola. Em refereixo, naturalment, to Albert Hirschman i els advertiments that ens goes fer, fa uns quants anys in against dels arguments més utilitzats pels portaveus of the capitalisme per desmerèixer they nostres raons:

The futilitat: To deny the gravetat of the necessitat i the seva mateixa demonstrates, per to fer - us creure that the lluita not tea sentit, i not s'ho val.
L'efecte pervers that might provoke the fet of posing - hi remei: try to convince-i massa sovint ho aconsegueixen - that és pitjor the remei that the malaltia (salut i pensions públiques = increment untenable of the deficit públic, per exemple).
The risc, amb the tots els mals llarga i aterridora enumeració that ens podrien caure to on if acabés per triomfar that reivindiquem, és to dir, that the públic s'imposi on the privat. (One-handed person d'eficiència, caiguda of the producció, ningú would not investigate … etc.)

Lime trobar the way of donating the volta to aquests arguments every vegada that se'ns posin per davant per to brake the nostra raó, i to know desemmascarar tots they maneres you nonsee that s'inventen per to "empassar -" uns quans powerful that és of tots. Lime fer pedagogics of which it is pot, i acollir sense sectarismes to totes they present yourself that tenen you win of informing i to place dempeus per defensar an ingenious viure altra, of thinking i of deciding … finally, that hi has molta gent that, if troba els instruments, s'apunta to viure l'autèntica it crunches it humanizes d'empoderar - i to determine the seu futur i the dels seus fills.

Like conclusió: you join alternatives give of the ciutadania...

Segurament podríem treure moltes conclusions, per ò in an esfor ç of concreció, destaquem:

1) To nivell global, lime reconèixer the dret to the salut com to dret humà bàsic, i that lime that Parlament i they institucions europees així ho reconeguin. The salut és a dret i not a merchandise i, s'ha d'exigir give of totes they instàncies europees on tinguem accés the universalització of the dret to l'atenció primary, to l'atenció sanitary, i l'eliminació of qualsevol economic barrier (co-pagaments, re-pagaments, etc.)

2) It falls sick it stays molt per fer in the salut desenvolupament dels serveis públics that assegurin atenció sanitary of qualitat i amb tracte the població deigns to tota, amb a clear separació of the servei públic i the private sanitat that asseguri amb the participació i control of l'Administració i of the ciutadania, which els impostos financen the tots i sanitat is not is turned away by them cap to l'enriquiment privat d'una minority.

3) To tota Europe s’ hauria of promoting to l'alça (i not to the baixa, com succeeix in algunes comunitats) l'anivellament of l'atenció, formació, reclose i tracte deign in salut, amb special atenció als condicionants i desigualtats in salut of every classe comunitat i sense biaix, edat, ethnic group or generate.

4) Give of the participació compromesa, haurien d'introduir - i to apply mecanismes of control i rendiment of comptes realment democràtics.

5) I finalment, per ò not per aix ò menys important, lime l'empoderament of them gifts, especialment afectades per they retallades i precarització dels serveis of salut juntament amb the dels treballadors i treballadores in the seu conjunt i in totes they facetes of the seva life, i els cabbage • lectius d'ajuda mútua.

The repte plantejat és of creating a societat in which augmenti the capacitat d'autonomia i decisió of them gifts i you they present yourself that pertanyen als cabbage • lectius més weak, i to construct a societat més participativa, amb an exercici més democràtic of them responsabilitats polítiques i a control més efectiu on them mateixes.

Amigues i amics, companyes i companys, if hi there is a lliçó to aprendre to Europe in aquests moments és that to Europe, també, som that lluitem if ens ho creiem, i if lluitem dempeus.

També to Dempeus per Salut Pública

Cap presents himself pot to be il.legal

Perquè estic d'acord that cap presents himself és il • legally, aquest pad vol fer visible the reivindicació that ahir goes cabbage is summoned per diferents • lectius i associacions d'immigrants, i that respon to a coordinated acció amb altres països com Greece, Italy i França, on també is varen to celebrate actes reivindicatius.

The European Union, Estevez Araújo and the transgénicos

Today there spreads the news about that the European Union has accepted the introduction of the cultivation in Europe of a type of potato transgénica, called AMFLORA, of the German group BASF. At first it will be assined, they say, to the animal feeding and his starch it will be used, they say also, for industrial uses. But the thing has not stayed here; the commercialization of three corn varieties has been accepted also transgénico of the company Monsanto, which although they will not be able to be cultivated, yes they will have free route in the commercial circuits. All these decisions have been provided with the support of the minister of Spain corresponding and denounced by the organization "Som what Sembrem".

José A. Estévez Araújo comments in the magazine Meanwhile, the risks of the products transgénicos, multiplied after the refutation of the "dogma of the genetics" done by Barry Commoner and in "Punts of Sight" we spread it, for his undoubted interest and actuality, from the version of "Dempeus per Salut Pública" and because the work of the author of the article - the teacher and friend Estévez Araujo - the maximum diffusion deserves.

The refutation of the "dogma of the genetics"

Barry Commoner, to his more than eighty years, keeps on writing interesting things. Last year Molecular Genetics published a titled article “: An Example of Faulty Communication Between Science an the Public” (“molecular Genetics: an example of frustrated communication between the science and the public”, appeared in the magazine Organization Environment, 22, 1, pp. 19-33). In this article, Barry Commoner gives concluded the "dogma" that has presided at the genetic investigation from the discovery of the double helix more than fifty years ago. The above mentioned dogma establishes that each of the genes that is part of the ADN codifies the production of a protein, which, in turn, is responsible for the generation of a certain hereditary feature. In accordance with this, a specific gene would be the one that would give the "order" to prepare the protein that does that our eyes are of a certain color. The same would happen with the rest of our hereditary features. Each one would be a product of a protein synthesized in accordance with the program contained in a gene. A causal relation would exist, this way, unilineal inherited gene - proteína-rasgo. Every inherited feature would be programmed in the only gene and every gene would programme the only protein and the only feature. As there said the author of the "dogma", James Watson (one of two scientists who discovered the structure of the DNA), the formula is so simple, elegant and adds that it cannot but to be real. Nevertheless, some recent discoveries have put it seriously in question.

The first one was the culmination of the project Genome which target was to identify the genes that integrate the DNA of the human being. The scientists were hoping to find several hundreds of thousands of genes. Nevertheless, they met that the DNA humanized only it was containing 21.000. More or less the same ones that that of a fly. That was implying a severe disparity between the number of genes and the number of proteins that the human being synthesizes. These can reach the 400.000, while those scarcely overcome the twenties thousand. The idea of the mail gene - protein was remaining this way seriously raised doubts. There was appearing the problem of how it was possible that the proteins of the human being were twenty times more numerous than his genes.

The results of the project ENCODE, to which Commoner refers in detail in his article, constitute the first approach the desvelamiento of the mystery. ENCODE is a project of international genetic investigation in which more than 35 laboratories take part. To understand the meaning of his discoveries it is necessary to study in depth a little how there works the chemistry of the genetic heredity (a more detailed analysis, which cannot be reproduced here for space reasons, can be in the article of Commoner).

The genes are done of cuatros chemical substances, the nucleótidos, which are represented by means of four capital letters A, T, C and G. The gene is composed by a sequence of these basic components in a certain order. These sequences consist of several hundreds of nucleótidos. The nucleótidos sequences determine the sequences of amino acids that constitute a protein. To a certain sequence of A, T, C, and G there "corresponds" a specific sequence of twenty different amino acids that form every protein. This way the relation is established between the genes and the inherited features, since every protein is responsible for one of these.

Now then, the information contained in the DNA does not transmit straight to the mechanisms responsible for the synthesis of the proteins, but the communication is realized by means of a messenger, the RNA. The RNA would re-duplicate in his interior the sequences of nucleótidos of the genes, although replacing the T (tiamina) with an U (uracil). It is in this process of transmission of the genetic information necessary for the synthesis of proteins where there are located the most important discoveries of the project ENCODE. We will allude to two of them that are those that more clearly they put in question the "dogma" of the genetics. The first one is that in the process of transmission of the information the nucleótidos can recombinarse. That is to say that the sequence contained in the DNA can give place to multitude of different sequences in the RNA, resultant from the new combinations of his elements. Making use of an analogy that the proper Commoner suggests, it is as if the elements (letters) of the word were re-combining LOVE in the process of his transmission and the words could form ROME, BRANCH, or MULBERRY before coming to the recipient. If we think about words consisted of hundreds of letters (like the sequences of the genes) we will understand that the combinatorial possibilities are immense. This “alternative assembly” as Commoner names it (for opposition to the normal assembly in which the nucleótidos sequence does not falter in the process of transmission of the information), it makes possible that only one gene could be responsible for the generation of multitude of different proteins. Every "transmission" can give to a sequence different from nucleótidos and, therefore, to the assembly of a chain different from amino acids. This way, for example, the gene that forms our “musical ear” is responsible for the synthesis of more than 500 different proteins in the snail placed in our internal ear.

The alternative assembly is not an extravagant or unusual phenomenon, but it is possible to produce at least in 60 % of our genes. This phenomenon would have had to ruin himself to the dogma of the genetics. There is already no causal relation unilineal between inherited gene - proteína-rasgo, but the same gene, in the same organism he can programme the synthesis of multiple proteins (and, therefore, multiple features) different.

But the discoveries of the project ENCODE do not remain only there. Also they revealed the existence of phenomena of genetic merger: in the process of transmission of the information two genes can combine his components sequences and give place, this way, to proteins different from those who would stem from the sequence of one or from other. The genes merger also a protein throws for ground the dogma of a gene a feature.

Commoner wonders why these discoveries have had resonance so small in the means, including the scientific publications. What is the reason to that has not made public to himself the refutation of the dogma of the genetics? Apart from the reasons at that Commoner aims, although in narrow relation with them, it is necessary to indicate the enormous interests that make a detour to the genetic investigation. The scientists who are employed at this field know long ago that the dogma does not work. They have verified it in multitude of experiments and frustrated projects. But it is very possible that it is convenient that the public opinion (and perhaps also the politicians who subsidize the research projects) are supported in the inopia.

The genetics is a big business nowadays. And the question of the "dogma" can make be in danger his benefits. Some practical consequences of these discoveries, which Commoner indicates, reveal it. For example, the illusory character of the gene therapies (that seem, on the other hand, to have showed extensively his defeat), or the inability to establish firm causality relations between certain genetic characteristics and certain hereditary illnesses. But here we are interested in especially those who refer to the transgénicos or genetically modified organisms.

The transgénicos are a product of the genetic engineering, which began developing in the seventies of last century. By means of more or less sophisticated operations of “it cuts away and sticks”, the genetic engineering allows to assemble genes of a being belonging to a species to the DNA of a being of a different species. Thus they can be generated in second being proper characteristics of the first one. For example, there has been used the gene responsible for the luminosity of the fireflies to obtain phosphorescent flowers.

In the last decades the products of the genetic engineering have turned into a very important income source. This is especially true in case of the seeds transgénicas designed, patent and commercialized for companies like sadly famous Monsanto.

The cultivation transgénicos has generated suspicion reactions, especially in Europe. Really already there have been discovered concrete damages that they can cause both to the health and to the environment. Jeremy Rifkin has spoken even about the possibility of a "Chernobil Genético" if this type of cultivation proliferates. In any case, the putting concerning the genetic dogma raises added suspense and makes to foresee new dangers.

The companies that commercialize the OGMs say to us that his products are absolutely sure. They affirm that the gene traspuesto to the DNA of his seeds will only realize the function for which it has been foreseen. This way, for example, the corn transgénico that is cultivated profusely in our country contains the gene of a bacterium that produces a species of natural insecticide. This way, the corn transgénico can “to defend itself” himself opposite to certain plagues that the asolan without need for insecticides. There have already been indicated some potential dangers that this corn can have transgénico: to contribute the generation of "super-bugs" resistant to insecticide, to increase the resistance of the "weeds" as a result of phenomena of crossed pollination, to contaminate corn plantations not transgénico, to provoke allergic reactions in those who complete it … But now, one is added to all these dangers more that it derives from the indecisiveness of the effects that can provoke this gene. If as a result of the “alternative assembly” only one gene can generate multitude of proteins (and, for extension, of features) different: who assures to us that the effects of the “insecticide gene” in the corn transgénico it should not produce effects different from the due ones? What guarantee do we have of that the action of the gene does not turn to the corn in anything poisonous, for example? How can we know the effects that will produce this gene in another plant in whose DNA gets for effect of the crossed pollination?

Before these shaded perspectives there is imposed the application of the beginning of precaution. East consists in that when there are reasons científicamente founded to foresee that the use of a certain technology or product can suppose a danger, it is not necessary to hope that a relation of firm causality should be established between the product or technology and the effects harmful to prohibit it or to withdraw it. The burden of proof is invested. It is to the interested company in his commercialization to which it is up to prove his harmlessness. Only when it is demonstrated that the product or technology in question cannot produce the damages that were afraid his use or commercialization will be able to be authorized.

The Catalan parliamentarians who pushed last summer the Popular Legislative Initiative back to prohibit the transgénicos without at least nor to discuss it should take good note of the warnings that stem from the article of Commoner. The refutation of the "dogma" of the genetics helps to raise doubts moreover about the harmlessness of the products transgénicos. And the danger is the sufficiently founded from the scientific point of view as not to hesitate to apply as soon as possible the beginning of precaution.

Amb Marina Albiol

Per ò com s'atreveix, senyor Fabra!

In the previous video, the coordinating committee d' EUPV, Marga Sanz, dóna suport to deputy Marina Albiol in relació to l'atac prepotent i desvergonyit of the president of Diputació de Castelló, Carlos Fabra. The Top Court of Justice there is obert deal with Marina Albiol per INJÚRIES I SLANDER, ja that there is prosperat the Fabra denúncia.

Ingenious D'aquesta, Esquerra Unida might be judged per AIXECAR THE VEU against the personatge polític amb més denúncies per corrupció of the Country Valencia, i imputat per força delictes in els tribunals of justícia.

Reprodueixo of some wikipedia of them facècies amb they that s'explica qui és aquest desvergonyit Fabra:

"Between other things, his public position is accused of simultanear with an advice business across the company Camarcas S.L. dedicated to consultancy and consultancy between 2000 and 2004. In the Treasury Department papers it was revealed that Fabra, the only manager of Camarcas, charged of at least seven different companies, some of them with awarded contracts of the public administration of Castellón, to the value of 841.021 euros. Vicente Vilar, associate of the president castellonense, was the businessman who denounced to have paid to Fabra millionaire commissions for his political negotiations at the time of benefiting the approval of phytosanitary products across the said company. The companies managed by Vilar, Naranjax and TV/radio commercial of Chemical industries Arcavi S.L. paid to Camarcas S.L. more than 150.000 euros between 2000 and 2001.

The investigations centred on other companies in addition to the managed ones by Vilar. Between the companies that realized income to the company of Fabra they were, between others, Cattocer S.L, linked to the businessman Fernando Roig, president of the well-known ceramic industry Pamesa, that deposited more than 200.000 euros between 2000 and 2003 to Camarcas; and Orange blossom Window box and Irrigations S.A. was a beneficiary of authorizations of parks and gardens of the city castellonense."

Com diu també Marga Sanz, the món the other way round: the fact that hauria of being subjecte of totes you they complain, li accepta that it is querelli against an honest deputy i responsible. Qui concerns the democracy there is carried als tribunals per qui not fa altra thing to be looked pels seus interessos personals.

In the blog of Marina Albiol podem llegir that, sortosament, aquesta denúncia “not even the més mínim goes to fer - us canviar in the daily nostra lluita against the corrupció, but tot the contrari, is going to donate us més força it faces per to continue amb the criticism i the public denúncia of which Fabra there are d'estar fora of qualsevol càrrec públic pels nombrosos cases of pressumpta corrupció in els what this one imputat”.

Not és the only ocasió in that one membre d'Esquerra Unida és portat als tribunals “per personatges als quals nosaltres hem denunciat i criticat públicament. Lime to remember to l'alcalde of Seseña, Manuel Fuentes, qui there is estat denunciat per The Well-digger, també per injúries i slander. És the món the other way round, qui denunciem the corrupció acabem als jutjats mentre els pressumptes corruptes continues untouchable”.

One day or altre the president of the diputació of Castelló deixarà of "the seva dominance, the seva gosadia i dye sort to the Lottery" i haurà of respondre per the respecte absolut per one-handed person the ciutadania.

Mentrestant, tot the suport per Marina Albiol!

Seguint the compliment of the Resolució 203/VIII

He informs Regio.7 that the Centre Sanitari del Solsonès disposa, you should give d'ahir, of the first public unitat d'atenció the fibromiàlgia of the central Catalunya. The nou servei també és the first one of tot Catalunya that dóna resposta to three malalties relacionades: the fibromiàlgia, the chronic fatigue i the chemical sensibilitat. The unitat, coordinated pel doctor Toni Fernández, inclourà, to més, an infermera i a psychologist. The tractar aquestes patologies necessitat there is estat one of them principals demand of the delegació of the Solsonès of l' Associació Catalana d'Afectats de Fibromiàlgia (ACAF).

The fet that the unitat d'atenció to the fibromiàlgia sigui the first one of the central Catalunya "tea molt mèrit, per ò hi there is the problem that not podem anar to veure com works to Vic or to Manresa perquè not existeix", goes to tell Toni Fernández, the coordinator of the nou servei, that it is goes to show molt satisfet of being able to inaugurate it. Aquest fet fa that sigui "tot one creeps that the societat solsonina hem d'acceptar i that nosaltres acceptem perquè ho volem fer amb excel · lència". The doctor Toni Fernández és the coordinator d'Espanya of the recentment creat grup europeu d'estudi per the syndrome of the chronic fatigue. Així, "to the Solsonès tenim connexions directes amb tot Europe i they farem to serve". The metge goes voler agrair to them present yourself i entitats that ho exist fet possible, between them quals the delegació of l' ACAF, of qui it goes dir "us 100 % congratulated i aix ò d'avui és a victory atribuïble to l'associació". The coordinating committee of l'entitat, Rosa Vilar, it goes to emphasize that "tant to nivell polític com professional sempre hem tingut suport" i the creació goes agrair "d'aquesta unitat per the qual tant hem lluitat give of l'associació". The president executiu of Centre Sanitari, Albert Muntada, is he goes to show "orgullós" i goes to explain that "not és an unitat tancada to three professionals" but "mirarem d'ampliar -".

Doncs magnífic that s'ampliï i that altres ciutats preguin exemple, perquè it faces that sembli estrany, that s'ha aconseguit to Solsona, of moment not existeix neither to Manresa nor to Berga. Per ò aquest és the camí, i convé that between totes i tots seguim empenyent perquè they necessitats expressades to the Resolució 203/VIII is satisfacin.

In aquest sentit, també ho fa Síndic de Greuges of Catalunya, segons podem llegir també in the pad of Dempeus per Salut Pública. The notícia és that the Síndic there is presentat to the Parlament the formless seu corresponent to l'any 2009 i val the sorrow fer a special esment of the següent pàragraf dedicat to the seguiment of the Resolució 203/VIII:

"Algunes (of them activitats of the Síndic) també it is refereixen to qüestions that ja have estat exposades in reports anuals anteriors. Aquest és clarament the cas of the seguiment of l'aprovació, per part of Parlament de Catalunya, of Resolució 203/VIII, of 21 of maig of 2008, on l'atenció to the fibromiàlgia i the syndrome of chronic fatigue. Aquesta resolució represents a fet rellevant in the millora of the complex problems that a cop transcorregut affects aquests malalts, motiu pel qual, the termini fixat in the Resolució per to l'adopció of them mesures establertes, the Síndic goes obrir an actuació d'ofici i goes demanar to Departament de Salut informació on them actuacions dutes to terme i you predress in aquest àmbit, com is plowed by the implantació d'un protocol d'atenció, the creació d'unitats especialitzades or the control of them llistes d'espera. The month d'octubre the Síndic goes rebre an escrit d'aquest departament, per ò, com that not donava resposta als suggeriments of the institució, the month of desembre the Síndic s'hi it goes to return to adreçar i this one pendent of resposta."

DESCARREGAR THE DOCUMENT COMPLET

Tot aix ò vol dir that hem of following lluitant per aconseguir they millores that you they should present yourself malaltes of Fibromiàlgia, the Syndrome of the Chronic Fatigue i Multiple Sensibilitat Química necessiten i mereixen, i hem of Comissió de Seguiment of Resolució i continues donant suport to to the Cause that podeu trobar to http://apps.facebook.com/causes/441874?m=199a9a58. Demaneu als vostres amics i familiars that signin... It plows ja tenim 878 signatures registrades, per ò podem to dye - ne moltes més, i val the sorrow that fem l'esfor ç perquè the real suport és i lime, to més, that the Conselleria assumeixi plows the compromís of creating they comissions paritàries on the terreny per to verify the grau of compliment of the Resolució 203/VIII to tot Catalunya.

Per ò that dius? Miranius!

Counsellor d'Innovació, Universitats i Company, Josep Huguet, parlant to títol personnel, it is descartat to re-edit the tripartit in the next term i there is defensat a govern "of concentració" between CiU, PSC i ERC in the Generalitat, deixant fora ICV-EUiA. I preguntat on aquesta opinió the passat dimarts, quan feia of portaveu of the Govern, there is dit that not li tocava "neither to ratify - ho, to rectify - ho"

In declaracions Barcelona - Chain SER, Huguet goes to Radio dir that in aquesta big coalició haurien of taking part "they forces centrals of l'àmbit parlamentari català", fet that exclou ICV-EUiA, which durant els set anys of governs d'esquerres exists mantingut obertes polèmiques amb els republicans. Aquest big consens broth that Huguet proposa, hauria d'abordar els grans problemes of Catalunya, i fer "modificacions profundes" in them relacions between Catalunya i l'Estat, to més d'una reform of Catalan public l'administració.

Doncs if the senyor Huguet is pensa that aquests són els grans problemes of the Catalan societat, I cannot about what li serveix be to the Govern perquè not n'entera of what the pel.licula goes. I if it is pensa that hi there is solució to uns problemes econòmics, socials i of valors - d'abast sistèmic i international - fent a big partits aplec in the Catalunya govern, és that it falls sick there are no entities the deep saviesa d'aquella cançó that diu: "the meu country és so petit that quan the sun se'n is going to sleep, mai this one segur d'haver - the vist..."

Doncs what hi farem! The country és petit per the magnitut dels problemes that s'han of resoldre, i the senyor Huguet (to jutjar per they seves declaracions) there stays per knave of the regulatory size...
