Iceland's Prime Minister has overcome the IMF advice

without comments

Archived - Report on Operations Under the Bretton Woods and ...

Icelandic Prime Minister David Gunnlaugsson Sigmundr warned Monday that help overcome the advice of the International Monetary Fund, critical of his plans to reduce the mortgage debt of households. "We will not let us say that an international institution can do to households in Iceland at the same time it reminds us of the importance of reaching a settlement of the economic crisis there," has he said in a speech on the occasion of the national holiday. Mr. Gunnlaugsson seemed to refer to a statement released Friday by the IMF at the end of a mission in Iceland. The institution of Washington had warned the government that there was "little room in the budget level for additional debt relief for households." The party of Mr. Gunnlaugsson, winner of the end of April elections, campaigned for reducing this burden via a drain on foreign creditors of the Icelandic banks. Many Icelanders are repaying housing loans indexed to inflation, the only ones that were available to them before the financial crisis of 2008, much higher than the current value of their home value. Detailed government to solve this problem plan must be made public during the summer. For its part, the IMF called for the use of existing relief programs debt, affecting relatively few households because of their administrative complexity. Via http://fashionaddictshop.co.uk

M5S in the afternoon “process” to Gambaro live streaming

without comments

The time X is today at 17. The joint meeting of senators and deputies of the 5 Star Movement on the case of Adele Gambaro, the senator who criticized Beppe Grillo for the negative results for the movement in the past administration, will be streaming. That restricted in the Senate, that "anticipates" the process is not.

DOCUMENT – Hours are troubled those who live in these days in the 5 Stars. Between interviews and denials in turn is a welter of statements between "hawks" and "doves" of the movement. Among those who want to "process" the Gambaro and leave it to the vote of the Network and the fate of Senator among those who do not want to vote what they call a right of criticism and freedom of speech and do not give the possibility to the network of "hunt" the 'heretical. Meanwhile, on the site of Beppe Grillo under the title "The press sucks," is the clarification of some 15 senators who threaten lawsuits: "The senators and senators M5S personally and categorically deny what is stated in the article in La Stampa" The fifteen senators M5S the verge of splitting. " Signed: Baptist, Bencini, Blundo, Bulgarelli, Bell, Casaletto, De Pietro De Pin, Fucksia, Giarrusso, Lezzi, Montevecchi, Simeoni. In other words: we are critical but we are certainly not those "MPs decided to go away … 'to which the media. And in unison denounce the '' obvious media campaign in place aimed at undermining the foundations of the Movement to which only leaves room for sterile polemics rather than informing about the good work done in Parliament. " The document concludes with the 15 of "reserve legal action in the event that the news will not be denied."

THE PD – So a few hours before the vote on Gambaro, Beppe Grillo also abandons the tone dell'invettiva (internal). The goal back on the "enemies" of journalists: this time, guilty of giving voice to dissidents and venting. The second "enemy" are those "people outside M5S" that the leader of the House, Richard Nuti, Friday responsible for an operation called 'sale moral and political. " In internal discussions there are the names: the former Giovanni Favia, Sonia Alfano, Luigi de Magistris, the former prosecutor Antonio Ingroia (the latter openly invites "the dissident group together to do"). And just Ingroia Grillo reserve a tweet poisonous, "Go into politics? There we will have a reason. " All names have a common root: the left and, in the case of Alfano and Ingroia, Sicily. The 'five-star' fear an onslaught of Democratic senators and Sel dissidents. In fact, the vice president of the Chamber Luigi Di Maio, speaking at Agora, on Rai Tre, attacks the so-called "sappers of the Democratic Party:" trade? There is a suspicion that there is. The leader of the Movement 5 Stars in the House, Richard Nuti, spoke with awareness, I have the same concern. It has also been criticized by the Democratic Party. I do not know if these people have a guilty conscience, or if you are called into question when we feel we've never done. "

SEL – 5 Star But fear not only the Democratic Party. It should be emphasized, for example, that the Senate has not Sel own group but has nine MPs in the Mixed. In addition, M5S and Sel leading political battles in common: the rejection of the Tav (the last event in Val Susa marched together) and not to the F35 fighter (they have been working on a joint motion).

THE CHAMBER – Different music in the House, where among other allegations of scouting would not make sense because the Democratic Party has the majority. The deputies are not going to "forgive" the dissidents. The "dissident", on the contrary holding firm and try to increase the number of accessions with the intention to create a new group for which they have almost completed the statute. From Sicily, meanwhile, is affected by the expelled Antonio Venturino: "Do not go with the Democratic Party – is his appeal to the" rebels "- Join my movement." During the day she will know more Tuesday and then you will see how many MPs will support the base which meets before the House to support Beppe Grillo.

"WE ARE AT WAR" – And there is, who has already declared his intentions within. Currò Thomas, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, said: "I hope that no one is expelled." And then he added. "I do not like the tone and methods that some of us have used to vilify those who express criticism." With regard to the items on the exit from the movement and construction of an autonomous group in the Senate, Currò concludes by saying that "there is no group, but for sure there is turmoil. Here no one wants to share, but we want to implement projects with civilized methods. " Each scenario therefore remains open. And if many see in today's vote a referendum on the political line of Cricket, Senator Buccarella on Facebook writes: "It is not the integrity of Cricket at stake, but the loyalty of behavior and sharing the knowledge that we are at war and that glides generally open huge gashes in the trenches where we are holed up.

Pensions: forget the public-private debate

without comments

San Diego Spearheads Pension Reform | CalWatchDog

If she had been inspired by a blue fear of conflict, the speed at which the government has given to harmonize pensions of public and private could have passed for a tactical skill. Even before Yannick Moreau submit a report on the future of pensions in which it recommends calculating the pension of state employees on an average of the best years of their careers, many ministers and Socialist deputies had already striven to reassure the public service unions. The way is not honorable, but the cause is defensible. Because, contrary to the wishes of a majority of employees, seeking private equity and public pensions face is a bad fight. First, because it was largely supplied with the progressive alignment of retirement ages, rates and insurance terms. Secondly, because this powerful factor of social dissent is the surest way to derail reform. Especially at least a Copernican shift towards a single scheme our pension systems differ in nature. Financed by contributions on labor income, they all reflect different worlds in which the durations of careers, wages, protection against the hazards have little in common. If the average civil service pension is higher than that of private sector employees, it is first that careers are more regular, higher qualifications. The differences between the schemes under different activities make comparisons futile. Is it so much just to calculate the Superannuation on their best decade, including bonuses, rather than on their last six months, as recommended in the report Moreau? This is desirable because it would make them more contributory and put an end to abusive promotions retirement. But this reform would penalize those whose trajectories are late bottom, sometimes as a reward of merit, or those, such as teachers, who receive little or no premium. The public-public equity is a goal that is sufficient in itself. It should lead to look closely bribes officials parties to retire overseas sun. It carries enough reforms, although heavy enough to lead to a government that deals with the first hint of pension reform from the left. And it should never lose sight of a duty of fairness outweighs all others: it is, vis-à-vis the younger generations, to quickly stop funding our pensions by more debt, or by higher taxes.

Skinheads, GUD, JNR: extreme right politics in fists

French student dies after attack by skinheads in Paris - Breaking ...

His successor, New Order, was not he, in June 1973, after a pitched battle against the Communist League (Trotskyist) to the output of a rally against "uncontrolled immigration" in Mutuality. More recently, it is the existence of radical unit which was removed by decree in July 2002 in the aftermath of the attack Maxime Brunerie against Jacques Chirac. Each time, it's the same cause, violence, again and again, the result of a specific action or collective product of an individual drift, which was behind the ban.

As for skinheads, fans racist attacks or homophobic attacks, more and more frequent over the last five or six years, they recruit among young dormant from a proletarian environment and downgraded. But whatever the form, violence is consubstantial with the extreme right. It is a means to advocate, it is even the most prestigious of all, the highest form of commitment to "prepare for the advent of the New Order," according to the precepts of François Duprat, former number two of the FN , died in a bombing in 1978.

Three decades later, Fabrice Robert, leader of the Bloc identity, leases turn in his review "ID magazine" "political violence" as "a just and urgent need (…), one of the methods more efficient which offers political minorities to hear their message. "

For twenty years, the public expression of violence, however, changed in nature. "In the 1960s and 1970s until the late 1980s, we witnessed in Paris in pitched battles, prepared almost framed between rival organizations, fascists against leftists, says Philippe Lamy, a political scientist. Aujourd 'Today, there are more small autonomous groups. "" We went from a collective political violence to individual acts of common law, "says Nicolas Lebourg.

Electoral violence that showcase the extreme right rejects forcefully. Yet for thirty years, the ratio of these small groups the National Front remains ambivalent. As written by Jean-Yves Camus and Stephane Francois (4), on the one hand, the rise of the FN "channels the violent impulses and symbolically turns to activism and vote," the other "inscription within the democratic framework, rejected by a minority, generates micro-parties that are radical splits the FN ".

Le Pen party has frequently drawn new blood into the skinhead movement, especially to ensure its security service. Before excluding these fanatics became politically – and in the media – annoying. In short, the history of relations of the National Front and skinheads, it's "I love you, me neither." Founder of the Department of Protection Safety (DPS), the stewards of the FN, the former para Roger Holeindre had rejected a first time in the mid 1980s. But they were quick to return.

While the FN did not hesitate to denounce the police during violent incidents, as was the case on 1 May 1993, during its annual parade in honor of Joan of Arc, and especially two years later at the death by drowning of young Moroccan Brahim Bouarram, pushed into the Seine by a group of skins. And yet, in 2009, 2010 and again in 2011, a few dozen skinheads always marched behind Frontists elected on May 1. Continue reading fashionaddictshop.co.uk

On behalf of the cultural exception, this sector (film, radio, television, music) has never been included in trade negotiations and has no reason to enter, she said again argued. "You want to undermine a fundamental principle of the draft European constitution, the cultural exception-and you chose to do the partner who leads the world in terms of audiovisual production, with the excesses and temptations that come with power The news reminds us unfortunately. "

While increasing safeguards, the EU Trade Commissioner Karel de Gucht wanted to include audiovisual its mandate for tactical reasons not exclude anything from the outset to achieve ultimately the most ambitious trade agreement possible and does not give an excuse for Americans on the protection of another of their favorite area.

The composure of the French president would finally convinced everyone to move forward, it was better to turn faster this issue of the cultural exception. "Audiovisual services will not be covered by the agreement," and sets out the mandate. In Article 43, it adds the ability for the European Commission to reapply at any time an additional mandate, it must obtain unanimity. Europe remains free to define its policy of quotas and subsidies to the film, television, music and radio, and find how to protect its culture against soaring scattering vectors, that 'Whether it giant net (Google, YouTube, Netflix ..) or the multiplication of individual screens.
