• Haiti: The
earthquake took place more than five years ago. The aids promised, a serious evidence
of the current lack of solidarity, have been only reached partially.
• Nepal: how quickly the immense tragedy occurred in Nepal only two months ago has been forgotten!
As proof, an example is sufficient. In this case, the two examples indicated above. But it is obvious that it is absolutely essential to have an efficient democratic multilateralism, proceeding urgently to refound the United Nations in order that they could represent really “We, the peoples ...”. It is urgent to convene an Extraordinary General Assembly to deal with the major issues that should be solved quickly, with the presence of all the countries throughout the world, and representatives of civil society (it is all studied: composition of the General Assembly; to add Socioeconomic and Environmental Councils to the current Security Council...).
·
Urgently strengthen the international
cooperation and development aid: the issue of immigrants is an absolute
injustice. Again, Europe looks the other way! The Mediterranean Sea bloodstained
... and the only thing that comes to their mind is to put border fences to
those persons who are leaving their countries of origin! Since the beginning of
the activities of the United Nations System, it was clear that the key word was
"com-partir" (to share) with
others, to help the endogenous and integral development, so that all countries could
benefit from the use of its natural resources. Gradually the aids became loans granted
under draconian conditions, cooperation was substituted by exploitation ... and
the United Nations by oligarchic groups (G-7, G-8...G-20) that constitute a
real affront to the whole of humanity: they envisage that a few rich countries
have in their hands the common destiny of 193!
It is urgently
necessary to replace the "market values” by the "democratic principles".
A few days
ago -June 19, 2015- the press announced ("El País”, June 19) that "wars force the
displacement of 42,500 persons
a day." Take note of these figures, especially those who invaded Iraq in 2003 and
who, instead of helping the development, have currently allowed that
thousands of persons starve daily while 3
billion dollars are invested in weapons
and military expenditures. I never tire
of repeating that only in this way it will be possible to face this terrible tragedy that the
UN High Commissioner for Refugees denounces.
II.
To
demand an explanation on:
·
What really represents to assess a 'consumption growth, "which is positioned at 0.3%.
·
The same can be said on the “recover of population
growth”, when it represents 0.1%!
·
To know what it means the news that
the number of millionaires in Spain is increasing 40% (this is a percentage!).
·
To consider the relevance of the news that universities lose 55,000 students this year. It is a worrying reflection of the current situation. It is attributed in part to another equally worrying factor which is the progressive
reduction of the population, due
to the "exile" of more
than 60,000 persons in 2014.
III. Look very closely what happens -so that rapid amendments are
accomplished- in the future Court on Gürtel case, recalling the need to comply with
the full independence of the Judicial Power
as established by
Montesquieu.
• To
follow, as well with perseverance, the current
energy policy in order to be revised
immediately or as soon as the
government changes. To take care of the environment is an essential intergenerational responsibility.
Then, "Spain moves further away from the renewable target for 2020," entitles a full information
published in press on 17 June. It is morally imperative that we take seriously what
can happen, reaching points of no return, if there are not taken from now on all
over the world -again
it is necessary the refoundation of the United Nations- a series of measures
leading to reduce the emission of
greenhouse gases, and very specifically, CO2.
IV. Worldwide outcry demanded to force the
Republican Party of the United States to redress the core issues for peace and
security in today's world: it cannot be possible that the Convention on the
Rights of the Child 1989, or the right to food have not been signed... always
due to the attitude of the Republican Party of the United States opposing to the
United Nations System. Thus, in 1992 the World Trade Organization was
established directly outside the scope of the United Nations. They have
continued opposing President Obama to sign the Convention on the Rights of the
Child and to belong to the International Criminal Court. However, only a few
days ago, in the column "Opinion" of “El País" (June 16) was
published that "South Africa makes fun of justice" for refusing to
hand over the President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir. The one that laughs at
justice at international level is the Republican Party of the United States who
refused to sign this great covenant. A few days ago, in excellent testimonies,
Karel Armstrong said that "the West must learn to share the planet with
equal and not with subordinates." Above all, the current West must regroup
quickly to become, in the case of Europe, from a monetary union to a political
and economic union, and defend the "democratic principles", as lucidly
enshrined in the UNESCO Constitution, that should "guide humanity".
To figure that
there are still those who continue to defend the "confederates" and
apartheid symbols! To think that in 34 States, most of them Republicans, the
death penalty and executions still abide!
***
You see: we cannot remain as passive spectators.
We must use all means
at our disposal -today we can all express freely- to start with urgency a redress process, to re-channel many
current wrong directions.
