Good news and bad news

I.                   Good news: US–Iran Agreement

immediately repudiated by Republicans, incited by Netanyahu.

Obama, increasingly renowned every day,  has managed to pass from the "axis of evil” to consensus.

Netanyahu, is increasingly discredited. The country that he represents, has done everything possible, like the Republican Party of the United States, in order that Iran followed the Iraq steps. Being stubborn and pretentious, they have weakened the United Nations System, promoted the relocation of production at worldwide level and, through neoliberal globalization, have substituted the ethical values ​​by stock markets and have increased social inequalities. Their influence in Europe, with the German leadership, has led to an EU lacking democratic principles, with money as the only reference.

It is excellent news, therefore, the radical change of policy -from the raised hand to the outstretch hand- President Obama has achieved in the Middle East.

II. Bad news: the markets ignore the outcry of the Greek people.
Neoliberalism imposed by Germany to an insignificant european monetary Union has led again to Greece and many other countries of the region to be obedient and submissive. Against the opinion and proceeding of President Obama and the important opinions of Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz, Joaquín Estefania ...  only the German voice has been imposed, which is quite alarming. What has done the European social democracy?

 We live in times that require, due to the potential irreversibility of many social and environmental processes, fast and imaginative actions.

A quick turnaround is urgent not to be responsible towards the future generations that are coming one step away from ours.

It is expected that European democrats will show another attitude concerning the treatment given to Greece. Otherwise the European Union as a whole could be affected by a progressive popular thoughtlessness.

The worst thing is that patience can become infinite" (José Saramago)

When we call the number of "Customer Service" and we always hear, with good background music, the monotonous litany of "our operators are busy. Please do not hang up ... Our operators are still busy. Please wait ... Our operators are busy.... "

And two, three, five, eight ... minutes go by until the diligent operator answers and listens with delight ... if the patience of the person concerned has almost been infinite and has not decided irritably to cancel the service.

We have too much patience with the customer services that are more inefficient every day.

Listen to Vox populi!

Finally, "We, the peoples ...” can express freely as the Charter of the United Nations starts. United Nations or those who regret now the result of the referendum in Greece, because they marginalized and substituted a democratic multilateralism by oligarchic groups and colosal mercantile consortia. It is great that democracy, unsubordinated, has prevailed over plutocracy!

The “peoples” have won because by now have voice in the digital era. Because now participation is guaranteed and formal democracies will become genuine.

It is time to be, to learn to be. That people rule themselves! And countries also leave their dependence of this immense faceless power. And so rebellious, we will be designing the new world that corresponds to the digital era and the anthropocene.

Inertia is the great enemy. The solution –like nature- is evolution. But, as I have repeated for many years, if there is no evolution there will be revolution. The difference is the "r" of responsibility.  When the "new beginning" foreseen and enshrined in the Earth Charter, can be a reality, the powerful must listen the voice of the people. The evolution, conciliatory and innovative, is better.

We all should listen to the people's voice.
