Blueprint For Building Guineapig Hutch

We need to promote social progress: The solution to the crisis under the Lisbon Strategy.

the same line on other occasions , I insist that the only solution to the crisis will be on the left, from the left and progressive measures. There is another possibility, and in this sense that we have to work. This output is the only and at the same time ensure the adaptation of social democracy in this society of constant change and power relations in network geometry variable.

At the same time, reflecting on the causes, history and context of the present crisis, I thought of the Lisbon Strategy of 2000, which sought, and still looking " making the EU 'the most competitive knowledge economy and dynamic, by 2010, capable of sustainable economic growth accompanied by quantitative and qualitative improvement of employment and greater social cohesion. "

It follows that although the Lisbon strategy marked ambitious but achievable, goals not be met, despite the relevance of them and their importance, unless, immediately is a change of direction to European level, a change of course that seeks to develop social policies necessary to overcome this crisis:

A knowledge economy must reject financial speculation, to bet competitive development of I + D + I mainly. The basis of dynamism can not be based on mere speculation unrealistic values. The financial market can not take precedence over the value added of knowledge.

sustainable economic growth is synonymous with sustainable economic growth, or whatever it is, a growth that advances in today's society committed to develop future generations.

To ensure the improvement of employment must, in addition to the above, building on reforms that seek the protection of social rights over economic freedoms. Defend and advance the protection of social rights is the key to safeguard social cohesion and territorial. Any measure must be aimed in that direction.

In short, the Lisbon Strategy ahead bases out of this crisis-and could have been a defense mechanism against it! -. Its validity is absolute, but the implementation needs a strong progressive majority, ready to carry out structural reforms and not just reconductoras measures of the situation.

No voice, no vote. The campaign "Who is your candidate?" Toward the next election European Parliament. CANDIDATES

In this post I'll give him Sabela Fdez Mendoza (Secretary JEF-Madrid), who asked me to light from this blog to their opinions, which I share.
Without voice, no vote. The campaign "Who is your candidate?" Toward the next European Parliament elections .
Who can be president of the Commission, the governing body of community affairs? This is, of course, an issue that hits very close to every European citizen but, today, completely escapes their control. Citizens do not know their candidates, but not their fault. I do not know because they simply do not exist.

The campaign "Who is your candidate?" Intends to raise this question to the main European political groups, to encourage them to nominate a candidate capable of carrying out the program advocated in their campaigns and, therefore, give him a voice to citizens who, by vote, decided to adhere to their ideas and want to be represented. So far, the campaign has been the question "Who is your candidate? the Socialists (PES) in Madrid, the Greens in Brussels and, more recently, the Liberals (ELDR), on 15 April. The answer, unsurprisingly, has not given names, but has raised consciousness and received a very positive reception, the main leaders and many members of Parliament have recognized the need to seriously consider this issue. It is not a request from the young federalists nor a utopian idea, but a demand shared by many who want to see how it fits in the EU a truly democratic government, and gives voice to European citizenship.

The reason that inspired the campaign is in search of a more democratic and transparent Commission, firstly because it is most desirable for the Europe we want to build (since, by and for all citizens). And second, because without a proposed candidate to be president of the Union's executive body, our vote loses strength. It is known that most citizens do not vote in parliamentary elections Europeo no lo hacen porque sienten “que no sirve para nada”.

Desde las instituciones europeas se ha fomentado una y otra vez la creación de grupos políticos a nivel europeo, que funcionen como verdaderos partidos representativos de las diversas tendencias existentes a nivel comunitario. La formación y el funcionamiento de grupos políticos europeos, con una visión de conjunto sobre los asuntos comunitarios, es deseable para que el ciudadano pueda sentirse representado en las instituciones y pueda expresar, a través de su voto, qué quiere para Europa. Ejercer el derecho al voto (a un voto eficaz, con voz) es, por tanto, un pilar imprescindible si queremos construir una Europa de los ciudadanos, de los pueblos, regions and States, and not a Europe of institutions, of senior officials or meetings.

Without its own candidate to head the Commission, as an alternative to the current President Barroso, which many complain, "the parties show a lack of courage to not be able to put a face to your program. But what is worse, betray the trust of the electorate: if a party manages to be the most votes in parliamentary elections, this does not mean that will lead to government decisions implemented by the Commission. "We envision this to national or local level? How would we react if the largest party after elections were not the ruling party if most people could not choose his vote for president? Probably, we would go to vote and to abandon the policy in the hands of bureaucrats. That's what happens in Europe (and do not forget that Europe decides on many occasions about national policies). One by one, European political parties lose their capacity to act. And, together, they lose to the Commission democratic legitimacy and transparency.

And you can not complain about the low rates of participation in European Parliament elections, nor can encourage citizens to exercise their right to vote when he has not been recognized throughout the voice it deserves. Sabela

Lack Cervical Mucus Early Pregnancy

Days Charged

loaded
Days that just happened: G-20 (odd!), NATO, European Union meeting - USA in Prague, the Alliance of Civilizations (and the national pre-crisis and Autonomous Government!). The world, or a part thereof, together with aspirations to make positive new changes. All these appointments seek re-foundation, or rethinking of the current international scene in all its fields. Revision proposal, reaffirmation of principles and a long list of etceteras.

The "world", despite being on the brink of an abyss-economic and environmental issues, primarily, have tried all this to give a sign of optimism. A sign of confidence and mark the beginning of a change. The message of multilateralism as the main flag of this change, and share national intentions as a tool for this. However, despite everything, I wonder, are they going to change all these big international meetings reigning chaos, "that is, all these peaks will they be able to represent the beginning of a new, more just and humane? The answer is unclear at this time, although it may entail some positivity in the future.

Nevertheless, I think, we should welcome, because although we had a winter full of bad news-and worst! - Spring comes with a large dose of hope. The change in the White House was the beginning of a new phase, still tenemos que ver como se completa, y para lo que es necesario, entre otras cosas, de una mayoría progresista al otro lado del Atlántico en aras de mantener una mejor capacidad política de cooperación.

Second Hand Treadmill Bangalore

Today London, tomorrow Europe.

El sistema mundial necesita una reforma integral, una reforma que dignifique la vida humana y no sobreponga al mercado por encima de todas las cosas. El mundo tiene que cambiar, y Europa tiene que ser uno de los elementos centrales de dicho cambio. Tenemos que aspirar, a un desarrollo sostenible, es decir, a un desarrollo que responda a las necesidades del presente sin comprometer la capacidad de las generaciones futuras a la hora de satisfacer sus propias necesidades. Un desarrollo sostenible no ya solo ecological, but in economic-financial and social.

can bet on another development model, we have two appointments in a short time in which we play a lot:

1 .- London meeting of the G20, although involving only States, there are changes that derivatives can involve changes that affect us all. The Heads of State and Government to participate will be responsible for, or continue with the current world system obsolete, or regulate the financial and currency markets, not just out of this crisis-financial, economic and food- but to establish a more just and more sustainable.

2 .- European elections on 7 June 2009, where we can choose what color is Europe. A Europe that, with its 500 million citizens is presented as a major player in a world order based on multilateralism. We choose, therefore, between a Europe asocial and selfish, or a social Europe with a vocation for service beyond its borders.

are two moments in a little we can decide, but much is decided. In the other, we can all vote, so we can all decide.
