dictator Chavez visits Spain. Why?

Should one forgive his enemies? Christian charity says yes. But it's nice putting a minimum condition, only if they show their true repentance. The meeting between the Venezuelan petro-dictators and the King of Spain has not been preceded by any apology from the mindless dictator Hugo Chavez. Not only insulting to all English offending our ex-president of Government, José María Aznar, but for having delved into the wound with his answers, provocations and insults to the already famous, but forgotten, "Why do not you shut up" to our King.

Even a few days before landfall in Spain, the dictator Chavez was attacking the representative of the English Crown. But that has not imported anything like a socialist and republican government, nor to a Royal House that seems mesmerized by the siren songs of English socialism. There are photos in Marivent to bequeath to posterity that the King receives Chavez as if none of its malicious abuse had ever occurred, and see that their words and rudeness to Venezuelan dictator was a thing of kids. But it was not. The words on that of Hector Chavez exceeded the tolerable. His stubborn streak and repeated on the pathological.

quickly the government and related media have justified the friendly meeting between the King and the Venezuelan what came of it, that Chavez is lower the price of 10,000 barrels of oil by 30%. If that was the price to be forgiven, King should have thought twice. Years ago, when Americans donated $ 400 million the Socialist government of Felipe Gonzales for the use of military bases, then president English decided to neglect this gift on the grounds that a sovereign nation should not be subjected to such gifts. And he was right. Another more recent case. The former Labour London mayor, Ken Livingstone, known as the red, also benefited from the gifts of Chavez, who contributed to the coffers of the mayor of London with cheap energy for their buses. His successor, Conservative Boris Johnson, has chosen to cut their losses this agreement will only inspire revulsion and Chavez has denied any gift whatsoever. There are vendors with which they might not join.

English King is used to going to the aid of the English economy and its energy sector. He did in the mid 70's to alleviate their contacts in the Gulf oil rising after the oil shock led by the Arab defeat in the Yom Kippur War. In other operations which do not always his image has benefited, as these strange KIO loans at the end of the 80 that were revealed by the 1991 Gulf war. Should know to stay away from unsavory characters like the current dictator of Caracas. While we leave most expensive barrel of oil.

Those who sympathized with the monarch to the histrionic grievances sustained Hugo Chavez will no doubt be questions of complicity after the crossing has been given in Marivent. It is a disgrace but what should the government do not always convenient for the Royal Household.

Interview Suit Juniors

The denial of the obvious. Ana Belen

Zapatero has been stubbornly denying the reality of an economic crisis begins to manifest itself in all its harshness. Have you tried a deliberate deception to the English or is a problem of incompetence of the Government to prevent the evolution of our economy?.

Personally I lean toward the first option, but whatever the answer you choose, nothing relieves the Socialist government of its enormous responsibility for not having foreseen this crisis and failing to take timely steps to counter the most damaging effects on our economy. The current crisis is largely a result of lack of foresight and inability to confront this government.

Although Zapatero's obstinacy to deny reality, few English now have doubts about the true extent of the economic crisis that we suffer. Inflation above five percent means that every day is more expensive to fill the basket or the tank car. To make matters worse, the mortgage, which for many families is half of their income grows inexorably having nearly doubled the monthly fee in the past four years. All this means that an increasing number of families living distressed to make ends meet.

Spain The economic slowdown has curbed its growth-dry is most undesirable effect of causing a dramatic increase in unemployment. There are now nearly 2.5 million unemployed in our country, 200,000 more than he inherited Zapatero, and each day three thousand more are added to the list of desperation. The minister's own estimates suggest that job here a year in Spain could have a million more unemployed. No more anti-social policy than that which destroys jobs.

Zapatero, who for too long has been trying to deceive the English denying evidence of this crisis, now adds two new lies to his vast repertoire to point out that the blame is solely on external factors such as rising oil prices or interest rates, and that Spain is, thanks to him, better prepared than any other country to address this crisis. Comparative data with the main European economies expose this double lie.

The reality is that Spain has happened with the Socialist government to stay ahead of growth in Europe to be in the queue. Germany rose by 1.5 percent in the first half of this year, France 0.6 percent, but Spain did so only 0.3. In addition, our rate Unemployment increased in recent months than any other European country. English female unemployment is twice that of the European Union average. And the inflation differential with the euro area has grown to more than one point apart.

The price of oil has grown the same for all European countries and interest rates are the same for everyone, but some countries thanks to the economic policies of their governments are aware cushion the effects of the crisis. Zapatero, however, has become its lack of foresight, with their lies and their failure to take the necessary measures, the main risk factor for our economy.

Once the crisis has erupted in all its rawness is more difficult to counteract its effects. In any case, the recipes are just the opposite applied to those who Zapatero is proposing. We must reduce taxes rather than increasing the tax burden must be reduced spending rather than creating new ministries to serve the frivolity of a "member" of the government, we must encourage lending to businesses, we must fight against inflation instead of punishing the families even as did the Minister Sebastian with the latest rise in electricity tariffs, and we must regain the confidence of economic actors is in tatters. In any case, it difficult for us to get out of this crisis while Zapatero previously out of La Moncloa.
