Under the title, "Spain is broken?", The regional coordinator of the training magenta, Rafael Sanchez, and Council spokespeople UPyD in several municipalities in the region of Murcia, Ruben Juan Serna, Miguel Sanchez, embodies Hernandez and José Luis Ros Medina, spoke during the afternoon yesterday on nationalism, corruption, democratic regeneration, Europe and employment, among other topics.
The first presentation was made by councilor and spokesman UPyD in the city of Murcia, Ruben Juan Serna, who spoke about nationalism and how they arise in the nineteenth century, with a vision not from the current political viewpoint, but from the historical point of view.
This made a distinction between nationalism that emerged early in the nineteenth century, as an ideological movement and current nationalism in Catalonia and the Basque Country.
Ruben Juan Serna said the birth of nationalism in the nineteenth century surge "against a political system" which in the Middle Ages and the Old Regime "was a state run by a King and the Church."
But in the wake of the French Revolution, a movement born in different countries of Europe that "in many cases appeal to the common, such as language, race and history as a people", against an enemy or person oppressed, in this case the King, the Church or a Dictator.
And this, Serna, is what differentiates the current nationalism, "as the current tries to reverse that idiomatic character, common path of people attached to traditions", but at the end of the "what they conceal political intentions and intentions are economic as well as cover a corruption intrinsic to try makeup, especially in times of crisis, compared to the rest of Spain ".
Ruben Serna went on to express that the old nationalism "has nothing to do with the current divisive and unifying."
"We have traced the fallacy of Catalan nationalism that appeals to a victim against a State".
In relation to the question breaks Spain?, Magenta spokesman in the city of Murcia said he thinks no, "but certainly if not unchecked, or not properly educate the new generations, these movements are increasingly to be stronger and run the risk of having a conflict within our own country, which makes it difficult and much more complicated to make our evolution as a state. "
Meanwhile, in the second round of speeches, Miguel Sanchez, UPyD councilor and spokesman in the city of Caravaca, focused on talking about the crisis in Spain, where he distinguished between the economic and financial crisis, institutional crisis, political and "If you press me moral", which deepened more extensively to determine that "we are in the company of rogue" where there are obviously corrupt politicians, with political parties to "pop the corrupt", "look does not happen in UPyD , which includes measures to avoid this, as it is the case that the accused can not be in electoral lists ".
Also, Miguel Sanchez focused on the judiciary, noting that "the judges in Spain have been repartiéndoselos both the PP and the PSOE for democracy", but yet UPyD determines that "judges must be independent".
Spokesman also training in Caravaca magenta noted that one of the measures to tackle the crisis would be the political term limits, "so that politicians could only be eight years in positions of responsibility."
Finally, Sanchez addressed the attendees, asking them to "not vote for a political party that has in its ranks corrupt and criminals", and therefore "UPyD wants to be different and want to change things hard with a hindrance and firewall system that makes it quite difficult for a corrupt military can in this game. "
Then the spokesman and UPyD Councilman Molina de Segura, embodies Hernandez, spoke about the future of our country as "irretrievably linked to the future of the European Union".
Thus, Hernandez insisted that this sense of belonging to the country, the existence of a strong collective identity, dense, "is something that is supposed to nation state and the European Union, the macrostate we want to build not ".
Thus, magenta Councilwoman raised a very important issue, and if you can break Europe following this economic and political crisis.
Hernandez made it clear that the European project was mainly based on results in achieving instrumental support of citizens (economic bonanza), but all this "has broken with the crisis, and Europe and has no results to sell, not a strong European identity behind why Europeans feel that we have a common destiny and common problems. "
Evidently, he added Hernandez, "European integration has not lived up to these expectations: incomplete political and economic integration, lack of democratic legitimacy of decisions made between states outside the European Parliament, slow and ineffective response, and Prismless social problems. "
On the other hand, embodies Hernandez recalled that European elections are approaching key that we face on a fundamental idea: "Europe will only be what we expect of it" with more Europe, with less prominence to the navel, with more integration with more transfer of sovereignty to be effective when we face the problems together, with more participation, and of course with a "more democratic decision-making, which would put the European Parliament as the center of the popular will European citizens ".
And in this regard, he expressed concern that "Europe is full of politicians who do not believe in Europe and working to destroy it", citing the information that the National Front, the far-right and anti-European party of Marine Le Pen would win the European elections in France, according to polls.
For Hernandez, "this is the big mistake of the European elections," political parties "have not been able to make campaigns that explain their idea of ​​Europe", and now, these parties "used opportunistically anti-Europeanism going to get cut. "
To conclude his speech, the spokesman UPyD in Molina de Segura, said that a divided Europe "will be insignificant in the world", with nation states, obsolete, unable to cope with the economic and political challenges of this century.
"We need a strong Spain, but we will not be nothing without a strong Europe also, and more united".
The next part was Councilman UPyD spokesman in San Pedro del Pinatar, José Luis Ros Medina, whose intervention focused on the "disease that is political corruption" and "medicine that is democratic regeneration" and what that "we have stated that we can end this situation of absolute political decline that we have today."
José Luis Ros mentioned that political corruption has developed most notably in recent years, "they are being detected more cases of corruption."
And gave examples "bleeding" like Rafael Blasco, until recently PP spokesman in the Assembly Valencia, also counselor Cooperation, "when granting subsidies for members to build a hospital in Haiti, endowed his friends and endowed himself to buy flats in Valencia. "
Councilman magenta in San Pedro del Pinatar spoke of the corruption of "a more subtle" or acts "are corruption" and the law does not reflect who they are, "as the plugs".
In this direction, he said "are very difficult to detect," and exhibited two examples: the first of them the former president of Andalusia, Manuel Chaves who "has three brothers working in the Andalusian".
The second one, the president of the council and the PP in Ourense José Luis Baltar, that when he left to become president "put his son to inherit the presidency of the council" and that "the attorney accused of hiring 95 people, including relatives and members are People's Party ".
All this shows "a complete lack of respect for the citizenry."
Similarly, José Luis Ros also mentioned "another subtle form" of corruption, "the purchase of his chair" and recalled two socialist exministras one hand Bibiana Aido with work in his Ministry on the "development of a map of innervation and sexual arousal clitoris and labia minora genitoplasty application ", which cost a whopping 1,445,000 euros to the Spanish, and Leire Pajín other," that we all know too well, sociologist and deputy with 23 years more young of Spain ".
Both exministras, one of Equality and the other of Health, "worked to buy a chair", and thanks to the subsidies given you were ministers, are now currently working in New York, one as a special advisor to the UN Women (Bibiana Aido) and the other as a consultant in the Pan American Health Organization (Leire Pajín).
"Neither proved to be big ministers to achieve then the positions they hold, earning more than 10,000 euros, free of dust and straw, a month."
Another form of corruption that has indicated Ros is "a lie", as cases of Zapatero and Rajoy, with themes of economic crisis, rescue and VAT hike.
So as lying in the CV, "very handy for some".
But it is also political corruption continues José Luis Ros, "savings banks that have cost 40.000 million euros Spanish", "public enterprises, which have 55,000 million euros of debt", "the councils cost us 6,000 million euros a year "and" advisers ".
José Luis Ros mentioned some of the proposals that UPyD has to avoid all these forms of corruption, as "the independence of the judiciary and the independence of the savings banks."
Finally, Ros Medina clarified that thinks Spain is broken if "we do not get all this crap we have in political institutions," and encouraged everyone to "try to do things to not break Spain and try to change the situation politics ".
The last person to speak was UPyD coordinator, Rafael Sanchez, who stressed that the Spain of Autonomous important and has been a great achievement, "but we can not stop watching the dysfunctions that its development is generating" especially "following the breakdown of consensus which represented the third generation statutes from 2006 Catalan Statute. "
In this regard, Sanchez said that the State of Autonomies is the result of a continuous improvisation.
"It is a hybrid model and undefined features decentralized state with federal, confederal and even centrist".
The consequence, Sanchez continues, is that "Spain supports many of the drawbacks of a federal state as territorial administrative complexity and legal disparities", without any of the many advantages of the various models applicable U.S. federal, Canada, Australia , Germany, Switzerland, Austria and other countries.
"Federalism well developed provides a more efficient public administration and decentralization of political power in line with democratic principles."
The magenta training coordinator said a federal symmetric model "is the most appropriate for the complexity and heterogeneity of Spain", a country still Sánchez, "long tradition of decentralized and relevant territorial differences of all kinds, from linguistic-cultural and historical to purely economic and geographies. "
Finally, Rafael Sanchez said the proposal is a strong state UPyD "exclusive competence, autonomous decentralized with the same capacity and equal legislative powers with the same funding system, based on fiscal responsibility."
