“It is difficult to me to forget you so much” – Meccano

Meccano is part of the sound-track of my life. Many of his songs are recorded in my memory. “It is difficult to me to forget you so much” she is one of the nicest:


“In defense of the fundamental rights of Internet”, ALWAYS

The government has approved the Law of Sustainable Economy. I think exactly the same that I wrote in December, when I was only a draft and there was a massive protest in the network. All the Net users we defend the same, independently of our ideology. The network is an ideology in itself. It is a fundamental right. Our right.

The government goes to cross-current, defends the interests of a few powerful ones and harms most of that we are in the network. A recent legal decision has established clearly that the P2P, or, the exchange of files and information between Net users, it is legal. With the Law approved today, how does Antonio Cambronero express in his blog, “For magic art it turns into crime what up to today it was not”

I copy the Manifesto again for the defense of the fundamental rights in Internet:

Before the inclusion in the Draft of Law of sustainable Economy of legislative modifications that they affect to the free exercise of the freedoms of expression, information and the right of access to the culture across Internet, the journalists, bloggers, users, professionals and Internet creators we show our firm opposition to the project, and declare that:

  1. The copyright cannot be located over the fundamental rights of the citizens, like the right to the privacy, to the safety, to the presumption of innocence, to the effective judicial tutelage and to the freedom of expression.
  2. The suspension of fundamental rights is and it must keep on being an exclusive competition of the judicial power. Not even a closing without judgment. This draft, against the established in the article 20.5 of the Constitution, puts in hands of not judicial organ - an organism dependent on the department of Culture - the power to the access to any web page prevent the Spanish citizens.
  3. The new legislation will create juridical insecurity in the whole Spanish technological sector, harming one of few fields of development and future of our economy, obstructing the business undertaking, introducing hobbles to the free competition and slowing down his international projection.
  4. The new proposed legislation threatens the new creators and obstructs the cultural creation. With Internet and the successive technological advances there has been democratized extraordinarily the creation and emission of contents of all kinds, which do not come already prevalentemente from the traditional cultural industries, but from multitude of different sources.
  5. The authors, like all the workers, have right to live of his work with new creative ideas, business models and activities associated with his creations. To try to support with legislative changes to an obsolete industry that he cannot adapt himself to this new environment is neither just nor realistic. If his business model was basing on the control of the copies of the works and in Internet it is not possible without damaging fundamental rights, they should look for another model.
  6. We think that the cultural industries need to survive modern, effective, believable and accessible alternatives and that are adapted to the new social uses, instead of limitations as disproportionate as ineffective for the end that they say to chase.
  7. Internet must work of free form and without political interferences protected by sectors that obsolete business models try to perpetuate and disable that the human knowledge keeps on being free.
  8. We demand that the Government should guarantee for law the neutrality of the Network in Spain, before any pressure that could take place, like frame for the development of a sustainable and realistic economy facing the future.
  9. We propose a real reform of the right of intellectual property faced to his end: to return to the society the knowledge, to promote the public domain and to limit the abuses of the managing entities.
  10. In democracy the laws and his modifications must be approved after the opportune public debate and having consulted previously to all the implied parts. It is not of receipt that there are realized legislative changes that they affect to fundamental rights in not organic law and that it turns on another matter.

Dignity before the death, for law

The Andalusian Parliament approved yesterday of unanimous form the Law of rights and guarantees of the dignity of the person before the process of the death. The persons who want to die without pain and shorten his final agony they will be able to do it freely, protected by the law. We all know that the sedation realizes incurable patients long ago, although they devote themselves to criminalize some of hypocritical form to those who practise it, as there is the case of the doctor Luis Montes of the Hospital Severo Ochoa, whom the government of Hope Aguirre accused of bad praxis, although later the provincial Hearing of Madrid made well clear that there had been no aberration in his dealing to the patients. It is a question of Humanity, we are human beings and we have right to die of worthy form. The approval of this law simply puts in writing something that is already realized in all the hospitals of habitual form. Thanks to this law, in Andalusia we will be able to save ourselves sultry spectacles more proper of the Inquisition than of a constitutional state.


For the freedom in Cuba

Thanks to a post in the blog of Jose Luis Orihuela I find the blog Orlando Zapata Tamayo: I accuse the Cuban government. Also I accuse the Cuban government. The recent death of Orlando Zapata has not done any more that to reveal the situation that one lives in the island. There is no freedom of expression not of movement for those who think about form different from the government castrista. They are chased and silenced. Yesterday we had an example: the defenders of the dictatorship castrista burst the pacific march of the checkers of target, which were requesting the release from prison of the political prisoners in Cuba.

The Cuban journalist Guillermo Fariñas began a hunger strike after the death of Orlando Zapata. 4 years ago also he surrendered to a hunger strike as protest for the repression and the absence of freedom in his country.

Every time there are more the voices that rise against the attitude of the Cuban government, even some that in the past they supported the diet castrista. Several Spanish intelligentsia has added to the manifesto Por the freedom of the Cuban political prisoners, asking for his immediate release from prison:

For the freedom of the Cuban political prisoners

For the immediate and unconditional release from prison of all the political prisoners in the Cuban jails; for the respect to the exercise, the promotion and the defense of the human rights in any part of the world; for the decorum and the value of Orlando Zapata Tamayo, unjustly imprisoned and brutally tortured in the prisons castristas, dead person in hunger strike denouncing these crimes and the absence of rights and democracy in his country; for the respect to the life of those who run the risk of dying like him to prevent the government of Fidel and Raúl Castro from keeping on eliminating physically his critics and pacific opponents, condemning them to sorrow of up to 28 years of jail for “crimes“ of opinion; for the respect to the physical and moral integrity of every person; we sign this letter, and exhort to sign it to all those who have chosen to defend his freedom and the freedom of others.

The administrations cannot yield to the blackmail

The “platform of stopped of Sherry” has taken the Town hall to demand an employment from the mayoress. Unfortunately it is not a Berlanga movie, it is something real that happens in our city. There are approximately 50 (0,15 % of stopped of the city). The mayoress, Pilar Sánchez, has declared “the whole world has right in this city to be evident. Today (per yesterday) I cannot receive them because I have the very tight agenda but tomorrow (per today) yes it is possible, there is no problem. And I will receive them all the times that it is necessary to have to explain to them everything what it should be necessary to have.” It seems correct to me that receives them, they are civil natives of Jerez de la Frontera and they have right to that his mayoress attends. But hence to demand an employment as if the Town hall was the office of the INEM …

The situation for which they are crossing many Spanish families (and Sherry is not an exception), it is really hard. The crisis is affecting all of us in major or minor measurement. I am in favor of that help measurements are encouraged for those who are spending it worse, but the administrations cannot yield to the blackmail of anybody because we would enter a very dangerous spiral. Whenever someone should need something it would go to be asked Dad that Town hall … is not serious. We are immersed in a dangerous dynamics where the "paguitas" and the subsidies are gaining area to the initiative and the individual responsibility.

To all this, the hypocrisy of the PP is model, as always. The speech of the PP in Sherry says that the unemployment is a fault of the mayoress, nevertheless, to 30 km of distance, in Cadiz, the popular mayoress Teófila Martínez says that the unemployment in his city is a fault of the Meeting of Andalusia and of the Central government. What do they have in common the mayoress of Sherry, the Meeting of Andalusia and the Central government? That are socialistic …

Pepe good-looking Griñán for Internet

This interview is the first one that there granted the president of the Meeting of Andalusia, Pepe Griñán, after being elected a General Secretary of the Andalusian Spanish socialist party. It did it to itself @Bomarzo, that was one of the numerous blogueros that came to tuitear and to narrate a Congress in which the social networks have been protagonists.

The support to Griñán was entire, it assumed the general secretariat with 99,8 % of the votes, while the new regional executive has obtained a support of 97,3 %. The only discordant note put it Paco González Hut, which he wanted to include too much and after being annoy the partridge ended up by giving the "espantá".

A clear example of the Internet importance in the new regional Griñán executive is the creation of the Secretariat of social networks and electoral action that there will direct Miguel Ángel Vázquez, who previously was taking charge of the Communication. The politics cannot already exist to the margin of the network and the new General Secretary of the SPANISH SOCIALIST PARTY seems to understand that to the perfection TO.
