Político-ladrones provincianos que roban al Tercer Mundo.

Se dice por ahí que la Comunidad Valenciana es “la Comunidad Autónoma Bananera de Spainistán”. Nosotras pensamos que no sería justo para ninguna República Bananera compararlas con lo que ocurre en esta región corrupta, chulesca y rancia de España.

El ejemplo más reciente lo constituye el escándalo por el saqueo de fondos destinados a la Cooperación Internacional. 27 personas han sido imputadas, si bien sólo una permanece en la cárcel, el empresario Sr. Augusto César Tauroni. Más de 6 millones de Euros cuyo destino principal eran países necesitados de Centroamérica fueron ilegalmente desviados y realmente utilizados para la adjudicación “a dedo” de obras y para la compra de varias decenas de inmuebles (casas y oficinas) en el centro de Valencia. En todos estos casos estuvo directamente implicado el Sr. Rafael Blasco, Conseller de Solidaridad y Ciudadanía entre 2008 y 2010 y ahora nada menos que Portavoz del Grupo Popular en las Cortes Valencianas. El pasado 12 de junio se iniciaron los trámites para imputar a este personaje; al estar aforado, el caso ha pasado al Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunidad Valenciana.

Todo este sucio y lamentable asunto ha sido destapado por Mireia Mollà, Diputada de Compromís, que impulsó una Comisión de Investigación en el Parlamento Valenciano. Este fin de semana, varios medios españoles publicaban una conversación interceptada entre el Sr. Tauroni y su abogado que reproducimos a continuación:

Tauroni: “Y luego habrá que meditar qué hacemos con la Mireia, si la denunciamos o qué hacemos con ella”

Gómez Tejedor (su abogado): “La violamos o cualquier barbaridad de esta (sic), ¿no?

Tauroni: “Sí, lo que sea, pero...”.

Gómez Tejedor: “Más quisiera la pobre, en fin”.

Thieves-politicians steeling to the Third World

Somebody recently said that the Comunidad Valenciana (the paella’s region in Spain) could be considered the “the Banana Republic of Spainistán”, considering its lack of gobernance, the levels of corruption, the media manipulation, the use of force vs demonstrators, etc. Ok, we do really think that this statement wouldn’t be fair at all for the Banana Republics: comparing them with what’s going on in this corrupted, tacky-pimp and rancid part of Spainistan would just be an insult to their dignity.

The most recent example is the scandal around the plundering of funds assigned to International Cooperation (basically, charity). 27 people have been impeached, although just only one still remains in jail, the Valencian businessman Mr. Augusto César Tauroni. According to the information published so far, more than 6 million Euros originally assigned to charity mainly in Centralamerica, were actually used in order to arbitrarly allocate constructions (to enterprises closed to him) and to directly buying real state (houses and offices) in the middle of Valencia City. This was possible with the support of Mr. Rafael Blasco, Regional Councelor of Solidarity and Citizenship and currently Spokesperson of the PP in the Regional Congress of Valencia.

All of this dirty and pathetic issue was discovered, among others, by Ms. Mireia Mollà, MP of Compromís, a minor independent political party; she pushed already in 2010 for the opening of an Inquiring Commission at the Valencian Parliament. This weekend, ElPais revealed an intercepted conversation between Mr. Tauroni and his lawyer, that we literally quote hereinafter:

Tauroni: “… and now we must meditate about what we do with “the Mireia”, whether we denounce her or what we do with her”

Lawyer (Gómez Tejedor): “We can rape her or doing her any other barbaric thing, what do you think?”

Tauroni: “Yes, whatever, but…”

Lawyer: “She’d like it so much, poor her, ok…”

¡Goooool... de Europa a Rajoy! Sobre el rescate que no existe

Miren al Sr. Rajoy celebrando el primer gol de Spainistán un día después del RESCATE. En estos días que he tenido el Blog parado he estado dando una vuelta por París, Londres y Hamburgo; sinceramente, vengo deprimida al comprobar cómo la Europa de primera se ríe de nosotros. Desde los guiñoles de Canal+ France a las portadas de los periódicos alemanes, la burla siempre va por el mismo camino: el Sr. Rajoy y su esbirro Guindos se niegan a hablar de "rescate" tras la inyección de 100.000 millones de Euros. De hecho, lo mismo que le ocurrió a Zapatero con el término "crisis", increíble.

Al mismo tiempo, tenemos el escándalo Dívar; para mis queridos amigos extranjeros: el presidente del Consejo General del Poder Judicial se ha dedicado en los últimos 4 años a hacer 31 viajes a hoteles de lujo en el sur de España. Con un coste (estimado) de 70.000 Euros gastados del erario público, y mientras él clama que el coste no es alto porque los hoteles "eran sólo de cuatro estrellas", una señora de 80 años ha tenido que pagar más de 400 Euros de taxi para poder dar testimonio en la Audiencia Nacional de Madrid dentro del proceso de recuperación de la Memoria Histórica de las víctimas republicanas asesinadas por Franco.

Finalmente, en Spainistán todo el mundo traga con esta mierda. ¿Por qué?, ¡muy sencillo!, porque la selección española, "La Roja", está jugando la Eurocopa. Eso es lo que importa, junto con Nadal en el tenis o Alonso en la F1.

Spainistán es un Estado intervenido, gobernado por un partido ultra-liberal de derechas, provinciano en su pensamiento, que no habla idiomas ni tiene peso en Europa, que recorta Sanidad, Educación y Pensiones mientras entrega decenas de miles de millones de Euros a bancos gestionados por ellos mismos y que ahora quiebran... Pero Spainistán les vota.

Panem et Circenses, Pan y Circo. Spainistán tiene lo que se merece. Este país no merece la pena, Europa no se lo merece. Mirad al Sr. Rajoy celebrando el primer gol de Spainistán un día después de la intervención. Antes Grecia que Spainistán!.

The celebration of the goal and of the bailout that doesn’t exist

See Mr. Rajoy's picture celebrating the Spain's goal one day after the intervention. These days I’ve had the Blog abandoned, I’ve been around in Paris, London and Hamburg. Honestly, I came back depressed to see how Europe is making fun at us. From the Puppets of Canal+ in France (Gignoles), to the front-pages of German newspapers, fun is always going the same direction: Mr. Rajoy and his little servant Guindos (the Minister of Economy) deny speaking of “bailout” after the 100.000 milion Euros injection done past Saturday. Actually, exactly the same that happened to Mr. Zapatero, former President of Spainistán, with the word “crisis” when it was starting and he systematically rejected it; amazing!.

At the same time, we have the Dívar scandal; the President of the CGPJ, the main Judiciary Power institution, has for the last 4 years been traveling to the South of Spain to the most luxury hotels, 31 times, with an estimated cost of 70.000+ Euros. He’s been unable to justify the expenses. At the same time that he was arguing that the cost was not so high “as the hotels were only 4 stars”, a 80 y.o. lady has had to pay more than 400 Euros of the taxi she had to use in order to give witness in Madrid of the killing of her husband by the fascist Franco regime during the Spanish Civil War…

Yet, in Spainistan everybody swallows this shit up!. Why?, very easy!, because the Spanistan Football (Soccer) team, “La Roja”, “The Reds”, is playing the Eurocup!. This is the most important right now, together with Nadal in Tennis or Fernando Alonso for F1.

Spainistán is a de facto intervened State. It is governed by an ultra-liberal right party, with a provincial mindset, that doesn’t speak languages and doesn’t have any weight in Europ; a State that cuts drastically on Health, Education and Pensions whilst at the same time gives dozens of thousands of millions of Euros to banks managed and bankrupted by themselves… But Spainistanies vote them.

Panem et Circenses. Spainistán has what it deserves. This country is not worth, Europe does not merits this load. See Mr. Rajoy's picture celebrating the Spain's goal one day after the intervention. Better Greece than Spainistán!.

Making fun of Spainistan

The end of the "Toro" brand?

 Not so long time ago, during Zapateros’ mandate (the former socialist Spainistan President), the Partido Popular (PP) and its more ultra-fascist line decided to critizise the lack of defense of the Spanish identity by its government. This was theoretically based on his weakness (they called him “bambi”) in several key issues: an excessive position for dialogue in foreign policy; a too opened management of the Catalan and Basc nationalisms, or his isolation within the Europe starting the financial crisis. The conclusion by the more Castellan-Spanish Extreme Right was always the same: Bambi-Zapatero has diminished all what is related to the grandious concept of “Spain” and of “being Spanish”.

It is absolutely amanzing to see now how in less than 6 months in power, Spain has never before been so directly and viscerally attached, till the point of ridiculing both internally and specially internationally, in many aspects, events and fronts. We are going just to focus our attention in those more histrionic, presenting them the more to the less serious:

Foreign policy. During the recently done French elections’ Campaign, Mr. Sarkozy dedicated a sustainedand systematic aggressive narrative against the “Spainof the socialists”, trying in this way to attack its rival, the Frenchsocialist Holland. Sarko had no mercy with Spainistan unemployment rates, corruption and the Economical Apocalypsis, not precisely helping the government of Rajoy (also liberal) to improve their public image for the financial markets. No news from Rajoy.

Economy. Latin America rose up in front of the megalomaniac Spanishness of the PP’s ultra-right. First, Argentina, with the public nationalization of the Spanish monster gas company Repsol-YPF; Bolivia afterwards, with the nationalization of the Spanish electricity company Red Eléctrica Española. Both gave us two direct punches not only to the Economy, but also to the Spainistani Foreign Policy. No news from García-Margallo (the Spainistan Foreign Policy Minister) and some pathetic news from José Manuel Soria (the Spainistan Minister of Industry).

National policy. As we already said in our previus POST, the ultra-right Esperanza Aguirre tried to politicize a sportive event when she attacked directly the identity of the Basc and Catalan nationalisms, besides counting with the complicity of the Spanish TV, that tried to manipulate the reality in order to hidden the whistling against the Spanish Hymn. The final ended up with the senyera and ikurriña (Catalan and Basc flags) tied up together in brotherhood against the most rancid and aggressive imperialist Spanish nationalism. No news from Esperanza Aguirre.

Finally, in sports, and again with our French friends, a campaign was done with the puppets of Canal+ (guiñoles in Spanish), attacking and questioning the successes of Spanistan Sport (in soccer, tennis, cycling…), suggesting in a sharp and direct way the use of illegal drugs by Spainistan sportsmen (SEE VIDEOS BELOW). Also, in society events, last weekend took place Eurovision, in which Spainistan was once again object of fun by our English and Dutch colleagues; they suggested that given the Spanish economical situation, our representative was kindly asked not to win the competition as, in case this may happen, Spainistan would not count with money enough in order to organize Eurovision next year…

Curiously enough, these two last events DID genrate a reaction from the government of Spanistan!. The question of the puppets became a question of national interest, with the Ministers of Interior and Foreign Affairs doing public statements about it, aggressively saying that a letter would be sent to the French Government (whilst nothing was done related to the shameful statements of Sarkozy!!!). For Eurovision, the reactions by some Spainistan Television shows affiliated to the PP have gone beyond xenophobic violence in their speeches…

It is impossible for us to add something else. This is the level of politicians, identity and representation of Spainistan.

A group of hurt former Spaniards.

Ultra-fascism, soccer, monarchy and politics

This is just another post whereby you realize till which extent all the elements mentioned in the title are actually linked up in Spainistan and feedback each other till the more absolute stupidity.

The polemic is installed in Spainistan some days since, focused in the statement done by Ms. Esperanza Aguirre (“Esperanza” in Spanish means “hope”) on the soccer final of the Kings’ Cup, with Barcelona team Vs. Bilbao, a Vasc team. Yes, yes, you are not dreaming: in Spainistan is perfectly possible that the President of the Madrid Regional State makes statements about soccer!. Ms. “Hope” said that if the fans of Barcelona and Bilbao make fun again during the national Spainistani hymn, by whistling or any other means, the camp should be immediately closed, fans expelled and the match if so, be played “closed doors”, as making fun of the National Spainistani Hymn is indeed an offence punished by criminal law.

My foreign readers should know that during the 2008-09 Kings’ Cup final, that was also played by Barça and Bilbao, it came to happen that at the beginning of the match and during the national hymn, both fans and supporters (around 80.000 people!) started to whistle with a loud crash and showed clearly against the monarchy as an institution (the King, his son and other members of the Spainistani monarchy symbolically “chair” this match, as it was also done for decades by Franco, the Spanish dictator). The commotion in Spainistan was even greater when TVE (the Spanish TV) censored these images (this reality!), and it could only be seen through the Catalan and Basc Country TVs. You can see all of this in these videos:

A more detailed video can be found here.

Political reactions, including some of the same party of Ms. Esperanza Aguirre (the PP), took place immediately, qualifying them as “unacceptables” and of “politizising a sportive event”, but the key thing isn’t here. What Mr. Hope actually was trying to do was to divert attention from a political news that came to light some days before: it was publicly known that the Madrid Regional State (that she is the President of) had doubled its deficit, jumping from the announced 1.1% to the 2.2%. This is particularly shameful in Spainistan at the moment because (1) the PP had repeated that the deficit in Spainistan was the only responsibility (and heritage) of Mr. Zapatero, the former socialist president; and (2) that the Region of Madrid, together with Valencia and Castilla La Mancha, where the perfect, good models of excellence as they all are managed by the PP (all of the 3 regions account for almost 35% of Spainistan deficit!!!).

Conclusion: in Spainistan we have politicians able of (trying to) transform a sport event in a ultra-liberal fascist manipulation of a political scandal of corruption and mismanagement, making it up of an act of support to an institution heir of a dictatorship as it is the Spainistani current monarchy.

The explosive Spainistan’s Minister of Defense (*)

This post is based on Jordi’s Calvo post with the same title

Although Spain has a “Ministry of Defense”, in Spainistan we rightly call it the “Minister of War”, which is exactly his final aim and raison d’etre. Five months ago, the Partido Popular took government in Spain; the Government Cabinet was nominated soon and with no few surprises, that we will also elaborate in future posts.

Probably one of the most stricking surprises was the nomination of the Spainistani Minister of War. His name is Pedro Morenés (see picture) and, what was our surprise when we discovered that this guy has been regularly linked to the production and selling of some of the most socially controversial and rejected weapons existing!!!. We are talking here serious business: nuclear weapons and cluster bombs.

Mr. (Mr.?) Morenés was the President of MBDA Spain. MBDA is a multinational enterprise that builds ASMP-A missiles, nuclear-type missiles. Actually, MBDA is owned by three of the enterprises that de facto produce nuclear weapons: EADS, BAE Systems and Finmeccanica. The last one is participated in a 2.01% by the Lybian Investment Authority (LIA) under the former Gadafi Govnerment which, by the way, did very lucrative busniness with this dictator.

In fact, this is not the last link between the Minister of War Mr. Morenés and Gadafi: to our surprise, Morenés was advisor to Instalaza, a Spainistan company producing and selling cluster bombs just before it was forbidden by law. This company sold bombs to Gadafi, and they were used against the civil population in Libia, as shown by Human Rights Watch.

The conclusion is straightforward: Spainistan has a Minister of War that directly contributed to the production and selling of nuclear weapons and cluster bombs, and that indirectly, yet with a strong cause-effect relationship, contributed to the killing of civilians in Libya via his friend Gadafi. Finally, difficult to see how this monster will keep his impartiality and neutrality versus the Spainistani Military-Industrial conglomerate...

Shame on Spainistan,

A hurt former Spaniard
