Cristina Mateo / most of the Spanish political class lacks knowledge of languages and has not adapted even to the use of social networks. The majority of politicians lacks work experience since accessing the match to finish the studies that away them from reality. If our politicians had to pass a test in all likelihood suspended two almost fundamental subjects to exercise their profession: languages and the use of new technologies to communicate with citizens. So do believe some experts, which, however, not considered to be essential to a university degree to be an excellent politician. Experts observe other deficiencies in most of the political class, as the lack of work experience – whatever your degree-prior to its entry into the public activity, and little interest in further training when they have reached a relevant post. By the same author: Connecticut Senator. Without languages as the Spaniards of his generation, a large majority of political leaders does not dominate others languages other than the mother nor, of course, English.
It is the case of the two main political leaders. Neither the Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, nor the maximum leader of the PP Mariano Rajoy, speak the language of Shakespeare, although they have knowledge of French. Therefore, the presence of a translator is common in the images of both in his meetings with foreign leaders, which is more difficult to discuss in informal meetings or in the hallways, where draught, such decisions are sometimes made and as subrayael Professor of relations international of the University of the country Basque Noah Cornago. Not the case with other politicians. Such exceptional cases include Senator and founding President of the PP, Manuel Fraga, who speaks seven languages; the former President of the Generalitat Jordi Pujol, who knows five, and the President of the community of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, who speaks fluent English and French. Anyway, some experts, such as Norma Bernard, Director of the Instituto Jaime Vera of the IDEAS Foundation, they say that when certain levels of responsibility are met, it is difficult to remain, also in languages.

Likes to draw attention, either by their outfits, by their actions or also their tinker with the buddies. The case is that the young man is ever wanted to make the graciosillo at the expense of a fast food restaurant workers. As you can see in the video the joke was more than planned.

He was driving a car, accompanied by a few friends who recorded the situation, when it reached a string of restaurants and asked for a chocolate milkshake. After drinking half, he went to the window of the Burger to tell the waiter that you back the money because his drink was not in good condition. With very good education, responsible for said to him that I was wrong, receiving a reply from Justin who said: the customer always He is right. Laughing young people left the scene. But it did not seem enough and they returned again. This time Justin asked two frozen by grabbing at the top, i.e., pringando whole and they left the scene without paying.

Spain placed 3.3 billion in bonds to the highest interest since 2008. The President of the European Commission (EC), Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, has admitted that the latest measures agreed by EU governments have failed the cto wanted in the markets and that the debt crisis is no longer confined to the periphery of the euro zone. Developments in the markets of sovereign bonds of Italy, Spain and other Member States of the euro area are cause for deep concern, Barroso noted in a letter addressed Wednesday to the leaders and made public on Thursday. In it, the President of the Executive EU advocates to find ways to improve the European’s financial stability facility (EFSF) in order to tackle the current contagion. Rescue to Greece Barroso urges Member States to finalize and approve all the details of the second rescue to Greece and the EFSF’s past month of July, avoiding introducing excessive constraints on the conditionality of loans from the Fund.
Js of State and Government of the eurozone agreed the past 21 July granting more powers to the EFSF, so that it can act to prevent, finance the recapitalization of banks through loans to Governments and intervene in the secondary markets in exceptional circumstances and in consultation with the European Central Bank. But at the same time, the President of the EC calls for a quick review of all the elements linked to the EFSF, to ensure that this mechanism and the permanent that replaced it in 2013 are equipped with the means to deal with the risks of contagion.

Karel de Gutch believes that Merkel and Sarkozy may not agree solo formulas to get Europe out of the crisis. To calm markets, the comisairo committed to dnder to the euro at all costs and bring order to the national budgets. The European Commissioner for trade Karel De Gucht believes that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy can not decide alone the formulas to get Europe out of the crisis. In an interview published Sunday in the online of the Flemish newspaper De Standaard Edition, former Belgian Foreign Minister believed that the meeting between Merkel and Sarkozy this week has not solved anything and it should be interpreted as a simple pooling their ideas in the face of proposals that will make the rest of European leaders. Merkel and Sarkozy have not decided anything this week, said De Gucht and stressed that the recipes of the Franco-German axis are not directly European proposals. De Gucht explained that the fact that France and Germany want to harmonize corporate tax or establish a true economic governance in the euro area is not enough to make these measures are approved, since they would require in addition profound adjustments in the treaties.
Sarkozy tries to perhaps give the impression that you want to think more about Europa, but does so in its own way, which is purely intergovernmental, argued and said that one of the main weaknesses of Europe at this time is that everyone is behaving as if he had decided something. De Gucht referred also to the declarations of this week of the first President of the European Commission and driving force behind the creation of the euro, Jacques Delors, who considered that the single European currency and the own community project run a serious risk of extinction if urgent measures are not taken. I understand that Delors is concerned, he noted and considered that very few of those who they know and observe Europe are not concerned. The Commissioner estimated that to calm the markets we need to spread the message that the EU dndera the euro at all costs and also put national budgets in order to avoid further spending above what you have.

Waste and contaminated soil Act was adopted on 6 June by the Congress, where will return to its ratification, after the vote on Wednesday, with 237 votes in favour, 0 against, and two abstentions of 239 senators present. During the debate, both the PP and CiU have expressed their unease by the fact that Bill has been processed by urgent procedure by its volume of amendments and have demanded changes in the system so that legislation of this magnitude and depth – as the popular Senator Jose Valin – can be counted with the negotiation process and enough with the aim of promoting reflection better laws. More than 400 million in the law machines has come down to where I could reach, ensures Domingo Jimenez Beltran, former Director of the European Environment Agency (EEA) and coordinator of the platform returns, supported, among others, by the Trade Union CCOO and the Confederation of consumers and users. It is not what we would have liked, but given resistances of the economic sector and the pressures that we have received, we believe that it is an important step. We must congratulate the legislator, he said. According to returns, the SDDR has been implanted successfully in countries such as Germany and bears on a significant increase in the management of beverage containers, whose annual marketing, about 51 million, according to its figures, only recycle 30%. The SDDR will end up implementing because the consumer wants it and because it provides common sense.
It rewards the responsible consumer, said Jimenez. Contrary to the draft platform, headed by Ecoembes, Ecovidrio, managers of waste in the GIS, the Spanish Federation of food industries and drinks and the Spanish Confederation of Commerce, denounces the additional cost of the system for trade and industry, which estimated at 465 billion euros. His approach also points to spending that every consumer contributes to the system for the advance payment of the returnable container. In countries in which already operates the SDDR used mechanized tanks delivered to the consumer a receipt by return containers, redeemable for money in establishments or as a credit on the next purchase. For the implementation of the callback and return system, the law dictates the degree of fulfilment of the minimum targets for reuse and recycling established by European directives shall be evaluated beforehand.
Ecoembes-Ecovidrio argue that Spain surpasses those objectives and that already in 2008, according to the latest data of the Ministry of the environment, is recycling the country 59% of containers, index which has increased year after year. Figures for 2008 from the Office of the EU, EUROSTAT, statistics on the treatment of municipal waste, brought to Spain, with 14% of waste recycled, below Germany (48), Belgium (35) and United Kingdom (23) and over Portugal (9) or Italy (11), among others.
