The ones in Barcelona will have to go because of the Barça-M.United final. The Spanish ones are camping illegally -in Spain you have to request permission for a demonstration for security reasons- but the police+government are not doing anything despite the increasing protests from the local businesses (70% in losses, damage to private+public property, etc). They will sue them and whoever is liable if they're still there on Monday.marox79https://www.blogger.com/profile/09088891057789088514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993049536759138200.post-22577590871831569222011-05-25T13:24:54.781+02:002011-05-25T13:24:54.781+02:00Haha, yes :D

Come on, people, he's being charged with attempted rape: when a woman says no, it means NO. And it's against the law, it's not a case of his private life interfering with his public life or the media meddling in it. It's a question of telling right from wrong.<br />Kind of like Clinton: Ok, you may cheat on your wife (that's your private life) but when you lie under oath about it that's punishable again.<br /><br />I don't know to what extent the people in Lorca will get aid: they will probably be relocated to other houses for a limited time, but after that they'll have to manage on their own. At least, that's usually the case in a situation like this. There was a fund raising campaign organised by a TV station recently.<br /><br />Politicians are sick worldwide, I guess. Over her, left is weak and make too appealing proposals impossible to fulfill. Right make the right proposals, necessary but impopular. Their everyday passtime is hurling accusations and/or insults to each other. Latins are passionate people, you know. ;)marox79https://www.blogger.com/profile/09088891057789088514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993049536759138200.post-86044664142657318312011-05-22T15:09:20.104+02:002011-05-22T15:09:20.104+02:00Yes, but at least DSK resigned from his role (even...Yes, but at least DSK resigned from his role (even if I think he's not completely innocent, given that it's the second time he's accused of such a crime, he musn't be a so called "gentlemen" with women...).<br /><br />Anyway, yes: eartquakes (and Italy is a well-known seismic country!) need <b>long-term</b> decisions and policies; instead, in our case, Berlusconi built expensive (yet of a bad quality) houses, put citizens in them outside L'Aquila and that's it; recostruction, after 2 years, hasn't started yet, and people will die in those ugly houses without seeing any change.<br />Not so many people realized this situation, many of them are happy because they have again a house, crazy, eh?<br /><br />We still have survivors to other eartquakes and natural disasters which happened 20, 30 years ago in the South of Italy who are currently living in trailers.<br />My family fortunately just lost the house :><br /><br />Here in Italy right-wing politicians only want votes, so they just try to captivate them with unrealistics promises; I don't know why so many people (normal people!) believe them so easy, must be a mix of ignorance, mental laziness, old age (yes, we 're getting older so fast)...<br /><br />Left-wing politicians are weak, and they don't offer appealing solutions, so we're in trouble.<br />In general, politicians bounce responsabilites each other.<br /><br />Sorry for the rant, but I hope your country will give you better solutions for Lorca, and that your politicians aren't as sick as ours :^/Smaltoitalianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138387006672694141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993049536759138200.post-56212621295848932442011-05-21T16:34:46.724+02:002011-05-21T16:34:46.724+02:00@Smalto: People tend to forget about these tragedi...@Smalto: People tend to forget about these tragedies over time, and though immediate aid is essential, it will take L'Aquilla and Lorca a long time to recover.<br />I'm sorry to hear your family was involved in the earthquake. I hope they just lost their homes and not their lives.<br />I heard Berlusconi owns like half of Italy and lots of companies there and is so powerful people are afraid of what would happen if they don't support him. Many men will probably envy him and his wild parties, though I think he's not doing Italy (and its reputation) any favour.<br />The French are having their share of scandal these days with DSK.marox79https://www.blogger.com/profile/09088891057789088514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993049536759138200.post-26856004003477197382011-05-21T13:40:38.721+02:002011-05-21T13:40:38.721+02:00Oh, my family (my mother's side) is directly i...Oh, my family (my mother's side) is directly involved in that earthquake, so I know well how things are going there...<br /><br />Berlusconi keeps saying that his international reputation is good... He's just a pathological liar, plus is so rich and he has so many power in his hands that it's easy for him to have followers everywhere and in every circumstance, ready to support all his bullsh*its.<br /><br />:^/Smaltoitalianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138387006672694141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993049536759138200.post-81218131729914174402011-05-16T14:23:05.603+02:002011-05-16T14:23:05.603+02:00@Gadirroja: Espero que Lorca se recupere pronto.

Pero como me toquen las narices...<br />@Smaltoitaliano: Thank you, my dear. It's frustrating how politicians twist the truth when it suits them. I remember the not very fortunate words of your PM Berlusconi after the earthquake in Italy. If you don't have anything nice to say, then a keep quiet policy is best.marox79https://www.blogger.com/profile/09088891057789088514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993049536759138200.post-61467886621904289712011-05-16T13:51:40.757+02:002011-05-16T13:51:40.757+02:00I'm sorry for this situation and I understand ...I'm sorry for this situation and I understand your feelings, here in Italy we're used to such shameful behaviours.Smaltoitalianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138387006672694141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993049536759138200.post-42955261651236004112011-05-15T14:56:03.140+02:002011-05-15T14:56:03.140+02:00Qué quieres que te diga!
