Recommendations before serious effects in the health for phenomenon of the mist (he gelds on Caracas)

This layer that is observed on Caracas from the middle of February of this year 2010 according to the experts is a product of the intense drought and of the forest fires. “Both effects have caused the concentration of the pendent particles cause this layer in the air”. And apart from the effects in the ambience it does ravages in the health of the such persons as: "ocular annoyance, nasal annoyance; it is capable of untying attacks of asthma and aggravations of Epoc (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Illness) in the capable patients and, additionally, it has been demonstrated that it has effects on the cardiovascular health, since it is capable of provoking alterations of the cardiac rhythm and events isquémicos”. Consequently it is important to take note of the recommendations.

The mist worsens respiratory and cardiac evil

The mist not only has effects in the ambience, also it generates problems of health like ocular annoyance, nasal annoyance; it is capable of untying attacks of asthma and aggravations of Epoc (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Illness) in the capable patients and, additionally, it has been demonstrated that it has effects on the cardiovascular health, since it is capable of provoking alterations of the cardiac rhythm and events isquémicos.

The affirmation is of the neumonólogo José Silva, on having been consulted on the effects that the mist has on the health, atmospheric phenomenon that is evident like species of steam stopper that retains the heat in the surface, making to show the city most contaminated from last February.

“There is a linear relation between the concentration of particles suspended in the air and the hospitalizations for infarction and for asthma and, then, yes it has an effect”, he affirmed.

He said that “it is difficult to give concrete numbers, because they are not available, they are difficult to manage, the official spokesmen do not show them, but the clinical impression that one has is that it is attended more patients in the consultations”.

He assured that the mist fond more of those who already have a predisposition some.

“He is not specific irritant, and he ends up by joining the damage that does the previous illness and is going to worsen it. The mist does not produce any illness, but aggravation, be of asthma, of Epoc, crisis of allergic rinitis. It talks each other it is to the illness, and it is not necessary to attribute the symptoms to which there is more particles quantity in the ambience. It is necessary to consult the doctor, who knows how to treat them appropriately”, he said.

Exhibition under roof. There stressed Dr. José Silva that it is not a question only of the external environmental contamination, but also it is necessary to speak about the environmental contamination intradomiciliaria or under roof, which constitutes it the exhibition to the tobacco smoke.

“The passive smokers incur losses to the health, it is clearly demonstrated and it is important to try to diminish this across dispositions that tend to the entire prohibition of smoking in public places, because the partial prohibitions do not produce any improvement of the situation of public health, because it is impossible to contain smoke only in the smokers' areas because it ends up by going on to the area of not smokers”, he affirmed.

It is a contamination that is present the whole year and undoubtedly it hurts more than it can cause the mist, that we hope that it should go away prompt, he added.

Recommendations

To avoid the effects of the mist, Dr. Silva advises not to be exhibited to her and to remain at home or not to come to the places where it concentrates more, how the center of the city or to nearby places where there is fire; to support the windows of the house closed in the day, when the concentration is major, and to open them in the night.

“In Mexico, there are electronic screens in the routes that they warn about the pollutants' quantity and alert the persons predisposed not to go out to the street the days of any more contamination. “If this information was free in our country, it would be of big utility for these persons”, he said.

1.500 persons took part in the activity
Personnel chained against the expropriation

The demonstrators occupied almost 500 meters in the avenue Liberator.

Regional Fedecámaras regretted the destruction of the employment

In spite of the intense rain in Barquisimeto from yesterday in the dawn, 1.500 persons approximately informed in the human chain organized by the workpeople of the companies affected by the expropriation of 21 sheds in the Industrial area 1.

The group concentrated on the facilities of the park Maltín Polar and shortly after 10:00 am the human chain was organized in the avenue Liberator, from the street 51 up to the obelisk, symbol of the city.

There were 500 meters approximately in which the workpeople and his relatives, members of professional unions, representatives of political parties, of communal councils, students and neighbors of the area joined his hands to claim the exit of the companies and the possible change of use of this industrial area to turn it into residential area.

Shortly before the activity, the president of Fedecámaras in Lara, Elías Bessi, and the director of the Chamber of Small and Medium Industrialists of the state, Eduardo Cabré, offered a press conference to express the position of the managerial sector as for the decree expressed by the Mayoralty of the municipality Iribarren to expropriate 21 plots of the Industrial area 1 and his decision to modify the Development plan Urbano Local to transform this area in residential.

On having pushed the measurement back, I will Fit it pointed out that in the municipality Iribarren more than 1.000 workpeople live with the fear of losing his employment.

“This is repudiable from any point of view because the employment is destroyed to execute housings and this is not the solution”, he stood out.

He considered how arbitrary the measurement taken the regional Executive and he told that with the expropriation it hurts him to the investments and to the new projects in the state. “One hurts in the short, medium and long term the society larense, that will affect his development and employment”.

He added that there are no guarantees of which the action will not recur against other plots and remembered that in Lara multiple housing projects exist in expectation of resources and political will for his execution.: “Why to take the areas of a company that is in the perfect production state and that generates employment?”, he asked.

Elías Bessi said that the decree has legal gaps because it is not possible to express a decision as that one without earlier modifying the PDUL. He added that with the intervention of the industrial areas, of Lara or of other entities, the new investments fall ill. “There are groups of businessmen who have retracted of his intention of investing in Lara until they are provided with the economic and legal guarantees that should allow them to work”, he said.

Bessi also criticized the measurement against the industrial area of Maracaibo: "This is a madness, it is not possible to stop to a country without work to do housings or to open new companies where at present there are others, as it is the case of Zulia”, he emphasized.

In the evening, a group of persons concentrated on the Square of the Justice to tackle a march to the square The Illustrious ones, summoned by the mayoress of Iribarren, Amalia Sáez, to endorse the president Hugo Chávez. Sáez said last Thursday that will demonstrate to him to the governor Henri Falcón, who also summoned to a concentration today in the Dome Bolivariano, that the people larense is chavista.

“Parliament of the communes” to displace the National Assembly (the Congress)

it always leaves his pesuña The alert thing, now when for many, especially for the leadership opponent seemed that there is no another interest topic, but seeing the way of achieving a curulito in the Congress, the true thing is that, as well as they mounted authorities and stopped without competences in the governors and elect mayors for popular voting, since for what one reckons is to displace it (to the National Assembly) for the “Communal Parliament” so that the called communes could approve the laws. On a little Chávez it walks under the insistence of what it would mean if the opposition was gaining most of deputies to the AN, because there would be finished the achievements of the revolution, which would be a "disaster". This is known as the information paves the way … On this attached, related and an article of very illustrative Luis Marin to understand the “Federal Council of Government”, when is known extensively the “rejection of the diet” to the division of the powers. Marcos Carrillo, also mentions that one has not given him the due importance.

The Assembly will be displaced by the “Communal Parliament”
The chavismo proposes communes and social groups to approve the laws

The AN will create a National Record of Social Organizations and will teach the people to legislate (Enio Perdomo)

* À la carte

While they all, chavistas and opponents, dream of a curul, a plan is in march to shake the National Assembly.

In his emulation to destroy the "bourgeois" system, the government party thinks about how to sit the bases of the “communal State”, which a “communal government” includes and now a “Communal Parliament”.

To relaunch the social street parlamentarismo, the AN planned a strategy that contemplates the establishment of the “Communal Parliament”, which defines this way: "Organizational platform that in accordance with the constitutional beginning its own community exercises the act of normar, proposes legislative initiatives and exercises social control of the public management”.

The attainment of this goal bears the creation of the National Record of Social Organizations and the installation of “community spaces for the parliamentary debate” in thousand 134 parishes of the country.

From the bases
At the head of this effort there is the first vice-president of the AN, Darío Vivas. “We are teaching the people to legislate with the intention of shaping the ‘Communal Parliament’, where the organizational base of the people, like the communal advices and the communes, they could prepare their own norms”, he tells Alive.

The deputy of the PSUV for Caracas points out that they cite as an example the raised for the president Hugo Chávez Frías, who has said that the communities must sanction his “communal letters”. “There are norms of coexistence that are created for the cooperation and the social, cultural, political and economic exchange”, sums up also coordinator of mobilization of the red tolda.

Will it displace the “Communal Parliament” to the AN? “He remembers that the sovereignty resides in the people, we are in a democracy participativa and of popular leading role. We cannot erect ourselves like the representatives of the popular sovereignty, simply we are spokesmen of this people”, he answers Alive.

The assemblyman supports that “the people has the responsibility of saying to us what thing they want that we pass. They will prepare in his communities, in his fronts of work, the proposals of laws that must come to the AN”.

Although there is no certain formula yet, Live he thinks that the “Communal Parliament” might “pass in the first instance” the texts that later would be considered by the Chamber. “Here we are going to work so that there is an instance of decision of the people preparing laws”, pronounces himself the leader of the PSUV.

Step by step
The social street parlamentarismo initiates this year submitting to consultation the Organic Law of Participation and Popular Power, the Law of Social Controller's office, Law of Social Property, Organic Law of Public Planning, the reform of the Law of Popular Economy and the Law for the Communes. With this instruments "block" they try to impel the “strengthening of the popular power”.

In the Organic Law of Participation and Popular Power, approved in the first discussion for the Chamber last December 16, they express that the commune “takes the biggest commitment of the citizens as an intention in the planning, making of the budget and the governance of the communities, allowing to the people to exercise the power in the form as direct as possible”.

In another document written by the AN and distributed on Wednesday in the frame of the social parlamentarismo of street, they aim that “the popular and socialistic communes are named to turn into the political-territorial new units to construct the new revolutionary social textile”.

In the state Portuguese, the governor Wilmar Castro Soteldo already tests a proposal of “the communal State”. The regional chief has constituted a hundred of “communal circuits”, species of groups of communal advices that design productive projects, they administer resources and realize political, ideological and electoral tasks. “The most iron opponents of this were the mayors and the members of the Legislative Council, all of the PSUV”, confessed Castro Soteldo on Wednesday, the 24th of February in the Commission of Civil Participation of the AN.

The legal scaffolding that the capitalist State allows to suppress to impose in his place the "communal" State still has not been raised. Nevertheless, the chavismo advances and for it he thinks to rest on the “Communal Parliament”.

Federal council of Government
For Luis Marín
Newspaper of America

The rejection of the diet is already public and well-known to the division of three public powers, which has been qualified like a weakening of the power of the executive; with this law of the Federal Council of Government and his Regulation politician is spurred against another form of (vertical) division of the power between regions - territorial autonomous, in favor of a centralism openly totalitarian.

The article 185 of the Constitution, of the CFG, establishes the decentralization and competitions transference “of the National Power to the States and Municipalities”; it does not even mention to the communal advices, communes or other forms of base organization of the “Popular Power”.

On the contrary, the Organic Law of the Federal Council of Government, but especially his Regulation, speech of decentralization and transference of competences of the States and Municipalities in the base organizations of the “Popular Power”. He even speaks about full "restitution" of the power to the “Sovereign People”, of being "return" gradually the government capacity to the village.

The minor analysis is not necessary to warn that the Law has not anything in common with what says the Constitution. The jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Justice would name it “a constitutional fraud”; but not the only one neither nor the most serious.

The law and his regulation establish a new territorial arrangement integrated by Strategic Axes of Development and Motive Districts of Development, to culminate in Communal Advices, communes and other forms of popular organization, which are not entities politician territorial, not even in the sense of those texts.

But the really alarming thing is that they attribute to the President of the Republic the competition to rectify or to restructure the territorial order of the Republic: for regulatory route!

What, in addition to being a car attribution of competitions, contradicts the arranged in the article 236 of the Constitution in which there are fixed the attributions of the President of the Republic, who does not contemplate that of rectifying or restructuring the territorial order. Or, that raises a conflict between the 5th article about a simple Regulation with the article 16 of the Constitution, which says what the division of the national territory is.

The decentralization can be: of the national power to the states and municipalities, which is the "territorial" call, to which there refers the above quoted article 185 of the Constitution; and the decentralization of services, which performs the central power towards decentralized entities, like the Autonomous Institutes.

But the said law and regulation re-defined the generally accepted concept of “decentralization“ to replace it with other the revolutionary taste. According to the new definition, it consists of transferring competences of the territorial entities in not territorial entities called Communal Advices, communes or other base organizations of the “Popular Power”.

DEFINITIONS. A regulation of for himself exorbitant, it penetrates into the big topics of constitutional theory to make sat, beyond any discussion, what is what must be understood by each of them, manu militari, with control voice.
This way “federalism“ is not a form of organization of the territorial political power, invented in the United States of North America and then adopted as almost the whole Latin America, from Mexico to the Patagonia, happening for Brazil and even Venezuela, but slightly much sui generis.

Instead of administrative region of the power, this new federalism is based on the beginning of territorial, economic and political integrity of the Nation, on the cooperation, solidarity, concourse and joint responsibility between institutions of the State and sovereign people, for: the construction of the socialistic society!

The new federalism will achieve this laudable intention “by means of the leading participation of the people organized in the functions of government and in the administration of the factors and a half of production of goods and services of social property, like guarantee of the full exercise of the popular sovereignty opposite to any attempt of the national and regional oligarchies of concentrating, of centralizing and of monopolizing the political and economic power of the Nation and of the regions” (sic).

Also “decentralization“ is not the mentioned concept up supra, in his territorial forms and of services, but one treats the Sovereign People as the “full restitution of the power”, by means of the gradual transference of competitions and services from the institutions towards the organized communities. It consists of reaching the authentic democracy “returning the government capacities to the village”.

“Transference of competitions” is a process by means of which “the territorial entities return the Sovereign People, the competitions in the matters established in the law, in congruity with the article 184 of the Constitution”.

The small detail is that the article 184 refers to the decentralization of “services“ in the municipal ambience, he does not speak for anything of transferring “competitions“. His ambience is the Municipality, not the Federal Council of Government, regulated in the article 185, which refers to the territorial decentralization, not to the transference of services about which he speaks 184 or about competences to which the law refers.

But the most grand thing is that between these “entities politician territorial” that must return competences in the Sovereign People, the Republic is not in accordance with the same definition that does the regulation.

In the entities definition politician territorial mentions the States, Municipalities and the Metropolitan District; but not to the Republic, so the Central Power does not transfer anything to anybody, by means of a coarse writing device.

SOCIALISM. The Organic Law of the CFG plans like mission to strengthen the popular power “for the sake of facilitating the transition towards the socialism”. So that it must not surprise that the regulation repeats 9 times the same expression and even tries a definition of what debit to be understood by similar thing.

“The socialism is a way of social relations of production centred on the united coexistence and the satisfaction of the material and intangible needs of the whole society, who takes as a fundamental base the recovery of the value of the work as producer of goods and services to satisfy the human needs and to manage Supreme Felicidad Social.” Likewise, with capital letters.

To achieve this marvel “there is necessary the development of the social property on the basic and strategic factors and a half of production”.

Surely it turns out to be superfluous to begin to wonder porqué a simple regulation of a law begins to pass between philosophical-political concepts so full debatable; but the fact is that this is not the simple regulation of a law, it is a political manifesto ideological and like that it must be interpreted.

He is not also worth while analyzing the internal consistency of this definition, especially in how it gears the “united coexistence” into the classes struggle; if the "intangible" needs have something to do with the religion, which is the opium of the people; or if the supreme social happiness has something to do with the satisfaction of the individuals, who are the only ones capable of being happy, because the "social" happiness is something that does not manage to be seen; or if “the full use of his economic, social, political and cultural rights” includes also to the "bourgeoisie"; but this would be to take the question too seriously.

Better let's try to see in what this can be translated in practical terms, what also it makes superfluous to shelter any illusion as for survival of the private ownership and of individual rights in the proposed scheme.

It forces itself the states and municipalities to present in the first fifteen days of every year his proposals of decentralization and transference of competitions to the base organizations of “Popular Power”. This emptying joined the development of projects and distribution of resources across strategic axes and motive districts of development, he drives in practice to the elimination of the Federal State, to replace it with a completely centralized absolute diet, without administrative region of the power.

The systems of constitutional control of the power are: the horizontal control panel, which it is the division in executive, legislative and judicial; and the vertical control panel, which it is the division in Republic, the States and Municipalities.

The rejection of the diet is already public and well-known to the division of three public powers, which has been qualified like a weakening of the power of the executive; with this law of the Federal Council of Government and his Regulation politician is spurred against another form of (vertical) division of the power between regions - territorial autonomous, in favor of a centralism openly totalitarian.

CUBANISMS. At this point it turns out to be completely anecdotal to emphasize that the regulation foresees the designation of the “Only Authority Distrital”, in the headquarters of every Motive District of Development; as well as that his functions will be assigned to them by the President of the Republic in the Decree of creation of the respective District, with what it is not excluded that each one could have theirs particular, in opinion of the Commander in Chief.

The same would be to remember that the base organizations of the “Popular Power” are not also chosen by anybody, but they are validated by the Department “with competition in civil participation”, without being said which should be clearly, therefore in practice it might be any.

It turns out to be completely obvious that the system of legitimization of the power by means of the popular vote is completely abolished in this system. On the other hand, the planning continues an ascending order, from the local advices, to the policemen, estadales, regionally and finally nationals, bearing in mind to that all these plans “attend to the vision of country and to the strategic course contained in the Economic and Social Development plan of the Nation”, that is the plan directed to the socialism.

East is, to the tracing, the system of the reigning Soviet State for seventy years in the USSR and that today only survives in Cuba. Not in vain the literal translation from Russian to Spanish of the word "soviet" is “an advice“, as well as “commune“ is the root of the word “communism“.

Finally, like so that doubts do not stay of what is the philosophy that is in the background of this regulation, it could not allow having his militaristic trace and demencial, for what it is enough an example. It is established that the President will be able “in Revolutionary Council of the Ministers”, to create, to modify, to suppress one or several Motive Districts of Development, which limits “will be able to coincide or not with the territorial limits of the states, municipalities or federal dependencies; in his defect (sic) will be established by them in accordance with the system of geographical coordinates or Universal Cross street of Mercator (U.T.M). or considering geographical criteria associated with the watersheds and levels that represent significant changes of earring that give place to units of different scenery”. Understand it the one who could!

It is possible to spend the rest of the life wondering where from this "Revolutionary" Council of the Ministers went out, and porqué here it is like that and in all the other cases not; or to relax with that one “in his defect” that is not known about what; but what yes curls the curl is the U.T.M. that, there say those who know of that, it is a system of geographical coordinates created by the engineers' body of the army of the United States, universalizado to the armed forces allied in 1940, during the Second World war, to overcome the problems of cartographic calculation (on flat maps) of troops opened on ground and sea (it spread lightly I curl).

What carajo does this do here?

The Devil, they say those who know of that, it always leaves the trace of his hoof, where less it is waited.

Chávez and the pitfalls to the parliamentary elections
Marcos R. Cheek P.

Chávez and his servers are known lost in the elections of September 26 (26S), there is no doubt. Also the results go to irrespetar. This is another certainty than any democratic debit to warn. The supervision realized by such a Ramiro Valdez, pretor of the Cuban empire, and the attitude driven to despair of his principal card in Venezuela (and president, for the time being) there are enough signs of the fear of the democracy that there have the totalitaristas that today govern the country. But, in addition to these attitudes, also they have happened to realize concrete actions to begin, from already, to damage the result of the parliamentary elections.

Last Sunday there was published news to which one has not given him the due transcendency. The information realized of that the AN would be displaced by a so called “communal parliament”. The instance would be shaped by groups registered in a so called “National Record of Social Organizations” and would work in community spaces for the parliamentary debate (?). His function would be that of legislating and approving in the first instance the texts that would surrender to the AN. In other words, the work of the National Parliament, it would be subordinated to the orders of the above mentioned organizations.

Almost in parallel, in one of the most miserable attitudes of that news it has had in our history, the magistrates of the TSJ proceeded to grant themselves a retirement in mass that, according to experts laboralistas, can come to totals of several million dollars for services concept, more his respective monthly pensioncita of more of Bs. 50.000 - total that would serve to give a pension to more than fifty persons. Does How plow you Fidel?

Beyond the rude implicit demagogy in the first situation and of the shamelessness of the second one, it must make notice an obvious strategy to empty of any action capacity the future AN, as one has come doing with the Biggest Mayoralty and the governments of Elevated place, Táchira and Zulia. In effect, the fundamental end of these two movements is of eliminating, in fact, the AN. With the invention of the communal parliament one will submit the AN to the plans of supposed social organizations which existence only would be possible as they are registered - and subordinates, skylight is - to an organ of the government. We repeat, the legislative work of the future parliamentarians would be determined by the decisions of not elect groups democratically, but created and defined by the Executive and submitted to his caprices.

On the other hand, since the appointment of the magistrates of the TSJ is a competence reserved constitutionally in the AN, what will happen, as a result of the resolution of the retirement in mass, it will be that the magistrates will take refuge in his pensions, or the current Parliament will remove them, before the parliamentary elections. This way there will be disabled to the future Assembly to name respectable and independent magistrates that could put brake to the abuses of the government and will be guaranteed to Chávez, until the year 2022, an even more wretched and submissive TSJ than the current one. This way of easy.

The chavismo recovers in health: if his electoral office, the CNE, cannot do the finished favor to him, of that time the necessary measures are already taken so that the AN is an empty shell from his renewal, since there will be able neither to legislate nor name to the magistrates of the TSJ. In other words, two principal powers will not be able to control the National Executive.

Chávez is a dictator and he is not going to play with the rules of the democracy. It is a duty of all the democrats in general and of the political leadership in particular to begin from already to plan how the mockery will face the democracy after the elections. The first thing that it will be necessary to do will be to vote massively in favor of the freedom. Also it has given results to go out to the step for him on time to this type of abuses. The same way, it will be necessary to keep on being employed at the consensuses creation about the protection of the democracy.

There is still time, but it is necessary to read the meaning that sublies after the facts to be able to foresee the steps that follow for the definitive abolition of the democracy, of way of being able to organize strategies for his defense.

Expropriation arranged by Chávez in place of the Polar one in Lara would finish with 4.500 direct work places

Expropriation order on the part of Hugo Chávez is fulfilled at once, it is as well as Amalia Sáez, the mayoress of a municipality of the central city of Barquisimeto, been Lara, decreed on Thursday, the 11th of this March the expropriation of a few areas where a few commercial agencies were working. The measurement against these stores of the local group Company Polar, gives itself almost to the month that Hugo Chávez will arrange (“Be Expropriated”) the eviction to raise there a few housings (supestamente). The true thing is that the legal adviser of the company expressed that the expropriation was done “without respecting the current juridical frame”, and in consecuenia they qualify it of “unconstitutional and arbitrary”. The Polar company will oppose the decree before the TSJ, although we already know what happens when Chávez orders.“ The State would have to pay for the companies of the industrial area 1 of Barquisimeto 326 million strong bolivars” (namely so that it has an idea, one multiply this quantity by 1000). On the other hand, the workpeople push back the average that affects them, and as they affirmed “it would finish with 4.500 direct work places and more than indirect 5.000”.

The State would have to pay for the companies of the industrial area 1 of Barquisimeto Bs 326 millions

Companies Polar it will introduce before the Supreme Court of Justice a nullity resource against the decree of expropriation dictated by the Mayoralty of the Municipality Iribarren of the State Lara and of the agreement of the Legislative Council of this entity of declaration of public utility, which 1 of Barquisimeto affects the areas of the industrial area.

Guillermo Bolinaga, the director of Legal Matters of the company, affirmed that the expropriation measurement against the commercial agencies of Polar Brewery and Pepsi-Cola of Venezuela, was done without respecting the current juridical frame.

He told that the declaration of public utility of the areas has vices of unconstitutionality and illegality, since this one should be had realized by means of a law and not in an agreement. Also, it questions that one declares of utility specific goods and you do not act or activities in general as the law establishes it.

The same way it refuted the action of expropriation because also it violates the constitutional beginning.

He told that to construct housings the measurement should be had applied in other areas of residential areas and not in industrial zones that need changes in the use and in the Town-planning Development plan, in addition to a public consultation.

He said that together with the nullity resource they will ask for a precautionary measure that should suspend the effects of the expropriation and should protect the goods.

The company pointed out that it is not reasonable that the authorities expropriate these areas, given that they have informed themselves that at least 16 projects exist for the construction of more than 4.000 housings for that they wait for the resources.

“It is more reasonable to invest in these projects in residential areas, which to destine resources of the State in the expropriations of the industrial areas, with the additional costs of redeployment that demands the law”, there raised Gustavo Hernández, the director of Polar Brewery.

It detailed that the measurement of the Government against the sheds of the Polar Brewery and of PepsiCola will cost to the State his 144 million bolivars, including demolition expenses.

Adding the companies of Polar and the rest of the affected lots, the Executive would have to pay for bienhechurías, demolition and other expenses 326 million bolivars.

“It is a question of an arbitrary, unnecessary and unjust measurement.

The expropriation and the eviction of the area manages 1 will cost to the State four times more that to construct housings in other areas”, he warned.

He thinks that there are other less costly alternatives and of rapid execution to solve the problem of the deficit of housing, calculated in 2 million units in the country.

He repeated the offering to the Government for the sale of an area that is in a residential area of Barquisimeto that would cost only 15 millions of bolivars.

Pernicious consequences. The Polar expropriation of the sheds of companies puts in risk the employment of more than 3.200 persons. From the agency of refreshments they attend to 9.500 clients and in the brewery to 7.600.

“It is not a question of empty sheds, there is an important flow of economic activity and thousands of work places”, indicated Hernández.

He said that the company will stay operative in this area and they hope that the TSJ should be pronounced and should re-spill the measurement.

“We will do all the possible to keep on operating in the Barquisimeto facilities”. It indicated that in case the average should materialize it would be difficult to invest again in the Municipality Iribarren if there does not exist the guarantee of which in the future a similar situation could happen. Some councilmen indicated that so much Polar as other companies would have five years for desaloja

I govern concrete expropriation of Polar
The truth
web@laverdad.com – AP – Caracas – 3/12/2010 00:01 12
The mayoress of a municipality of the central city of Barquisimeto, Amalia Sáez, decreed yesterday on Thursday the expropriation of a lot of areas of this locality where there work a few stores of the local group Company Polar, the biggest producer of food of the country. The Polar corporative group did not express at the moment comments.

The decision of expropriation of the areas happens two days later that a group of councilmen of the municipality Iribarren de Barquisimeto approved in the declaration of “public and social utility” of the grounds.

Sáez said to the state Venezuelan of Television (VTV) that “today we are signing the expropriation decree” of a few areas in the Industrial area of Barquisimeto, which affects the facilities of approximately 23 companies, between which the Companies are included Polar.

The mayoress of the municipality Iribarren justified the measurement pointing out that Barquisimeto “needs spaces for town-planning developments (that) it has been a worry of our president Hugo Chávez”. The official added that the measurement will develop for phases, and that the first stage will include approximately seven hectares.

Some councilmen pushed back in eve the capture of the areas on the part of the Mayoralty oficialista of Iribarren, and denounced that the measurement will affect the workpeople of 23 companies. The expropriation measurement happens almost one month later that Chávez arranged the Companies Polar to evict a few areas of the Industrial area of Barquisimeto, in been Lara, to raise there a few housings.

The announcement of the chief generated his frictions with the governor of been Lara, Henri Falcón, who some time after Close Socialist of Venezuela (PSUV) resigned the Divided oficialista alleging lacking in dialogue in the organization.

Falcon objected recently the action of Chávez against the areas of the group Polar in Barquisimeto, and said that the measurement was damaging the law.

Losses

Incalculable and irreversible losses already begin to glimpse the commercial and industrial sectors of been Lara, after the recent decision to declare of public utility the Industrial area I of Barquisimeto, and that it sharpened with the signature of the decree of expropriation of the areas of the Polar one in the place.

Eduardo Cabré, president Ejecutivo de la Cámara of Industrialists, indicated to The Universal one that the decision of public declaration already did an incalculable damage, because one of the most sensitive matters is the investment.

He is afraid of an investors' stampede.: “Who is going to invest a cent to you in an industrial area like that. At least in this year it is not going to happen. Care they go away of the city and if not of the country”.

For Cabré, there is no way of justifying what happens in the industrial areas. “To justify on the base of a microscopic area, when there are dozens of places in the better city located to construct housings, it is impossible, unless one resorts to the ideological political decision”.

In the Industrial area they overcome 200 companies. Today the mayoress of the municipality Iribarren of been Lara, Amalia Sáez, signed the decree of expropriation of the areas that the Polar company occupies in the center of Barquisimeto, for the housing construction. We are fulfilling the order of the President and of the people of Lara needed from housing”, he emphasized VTV.

He added that they are employed at a strategy with the different unions and the civil society to face the measurement of legal form and with actions of street.

In an assembly that was carried out today in the Engineers' School of Lara, workpeople of the Industrial area expressed his worry because they do not know what his situation will be once the Government decides to expropriate the whole area.

They express that the measurement of public utility gives the go-ahead to the Government to tackle new expropriations, beyond the areas of the Polar one, what constitutes a not only one threat for the managerial sector, but for the labor stability that they had per years and that of his families.

“POLITICAL TANTRUM OF HUGO CHÁVEZ”
Venezuela retains 50 Spanish police officers that delinquents were repatriating
Fifty Spanish national police officers are retained in Venezuelan military facilities after they were refusing the permission of flight to them. Spanish common criminals had come to Venezuela in a military plane to repatriate. The agents speak about “political tantrum” of Chávez.

DIGITAL FREEDOM

The Venezuelan authorities have retained the flight in which there had to return to Spain 36 national police officers who were guarding the repatriation of Spanish delinquents. As Libertad Digital could have known, they had to go out in a military flight that had all the permissions in rule.

Nevertheless, in the moment in which the Spanish pílotos were going to tackle the flight, in accordance with the established plan, Venezuela refused the authorization alleging a series of technical reasons. The Spanish Confederacy of Police officer, which is in contact with the retained agents, has confirmed to this newspaper that the police officers belonging to the Judicial Police and to the unit of antidisturbances, were moved to a few military facilities where they hope in a few barracks that it should be allowed to return to Spain. It seems that this permission might happen at 14:00, according to the national schedule.

In this sense, the police officers are very annoying with this situation and think that this decision has taken place due to “a political tantrum” of the Government of Hugo Chávez before the car of the National Hearing who accuses to Venezuela of collaborating with ETA and the FARC. This way, they believe that under the pretext of the technical problems they try to make his annoyance clear for the criticism of Venezula. Although they affirm that they are well, they have his movements restricted on having been in military facilities.

Sources of Location consulted for esRadio said that it is one more “provocation of Caracas and points at a deterioration of the relations between Spain and Venezuela”.

In this moment, the phones of the police officers are extinguished by what the worry spends because or they are having problems for comuncarse or because they could be sleeping, since now it is got in ahead in Venezuela. For it, from the CEP they have asked the Executive whom it should operate with the “maxim that it deals” to solve the situation. Also, they add that the incident is more worrying due to the few ones “juridical guarantees” that, according to the CEP, exist in Venezuela.

Lula is been reluctant to criticize clerical Iran's and political leaders

Excellent the articles about the portal of news of Bloomberg. The fact that I have taken for example, Brazil Economy Drives Lula Bid to Ease Iran Tensions, Iuri Dantas as Peter S. Green and, refers to Luiz Inácio Lula gives Miscellany, and his confused foreign policy that is following the trajectory marked by Chávez, who is done of many ally you of opposition to the United States, an opinion that it salts to re-show of Karen Hooper, an analyst of Latin America in Stratfor, consultant of political risks with head office in Austin, Texas. There turns out to be unpleasant the comparison that Lula of the declarations does against the theft of the elections in Iran with the disturbances between fans of the clubs of soccer of the Basque of Scale and the Flamengo. In general, there is mentioned the stone of cudgel that his administration has meant to move forward actions that dissuade to Ahmadinejad from persisting in developing atomic bombs. recommended, it is in English with translation of Google.

Brazil Economy Drives Lula Bid to Ease Iran Tensions

March 15 (Bloomberg)-When Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula gives Miscellany defends Iran's right to to nuclear program and makes plans to visit Tehran in May, is is following the path of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The similarities only go so far.

Chavez, who is visited Iran eight steal, is supporting the Persian Gulf nation and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because is views the Iranian leader grasp to fellow “gladiator of the anti - imperialist battle” against the U.S.

Lulás motivation is less ideological than strategic, say analysts in Brazil and the U.S. His policy is aimed at converting global Brazil's economic muscle into clout by pushing "south-south" trade and political ties with developing countries, they say. Iran's 74 million consumers make it an attractive market, and Lulás resistance to Iran sanctions helps safeguard nuclear Brazil's civilian program from outside interference.

“It's not about embracing Iran,” said Matias Spektor, to Brazilian foreign policy expert and visiting fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. “Lula believes that international agreements like the nuclear Odd number - proliferation Treaty cannot be used selectively by great powers to punish weaker countries.”

Whatever his motivate, Lulás outreach is raised concern in Washington and in Israel, where is arrived yesterday on to tour that includes to visit to the Palestinian territories and Jordan.

Israeli View

“It is important for us to show that Iran is really trying to get nuclear weapons and not just develop to nuclear program,” Dorit Shavit, deputy general manager for Latin America at Israel's Foreign Ministry, said in an interview. “Until now, unfortunately, Brazil believes that if only we explain to Iran and engage them, they will be convinced.”

The first Brazilian president to make an official visit to Israel, Lula said today in Jerusalem that I have hopes is dog serve expert to peacemaker in the region.

“We came here to talk about peace, but we also came here to strengthen our ties with Israel,” is said at to welcoming ceremony in the Israeli Jerusalem residence of President Shimon Peres. “We plows interested in pushing forward the peace process because, expert Brazilians, we plow lovers of peace.”

Brazil, where exports equaled 9 percent of gross domestic product last year, is seen annual trade with Iran Lula arises 40 percent to $ 2 billion since took office in 2003. Rio de Janeiro-based Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Brazil's state-controlled company, won in 2003 to bid to explores for oil in Iranian toilets of the Gulf. Accompanying Ahmadinejad on his visit to Brazil last year were 200 Iranian business leaders.

Jewish Community

Brazil's 100,000-strong Jewish community staged protests during Ahmadinejad's November visit. Lula says have is told the Iranian leader I have needs to end his anti-Semitic rhetoric.

“I told President Ahmadinejad that it's inconceivable to deny the Holocaust,” Lula said in an interview March 9 with Israel's Haaretz newspaper. “It's to fact that is encrusted in the mind of humanity, and the fact that you have differences with Israel should not lead you to deny or not recognize history.”

Real Brazil's was the fifth best-performing currency in the past year among the 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg, rising 30 percent against the dollar. Chavez in January devaluate the bolivar by 50 percent, although have continue to subsidize the purchase of food, medicine and essential imports from oil profits that comprise half of government spending.

Reluctant to Criticize

Lula, who was briefly jailed for defying Brazil's 1964-1983 dictatorship, is been reluctant to criticize clerical Iran's and political leaders.

Is compared the crushing of street protests in Tehran by police following Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election last year to to fight between fans of rival Rio de Janeiro soccer clubs Flamengo and Vasco da Gama.

Lula will be only the sixth head of state or government to visit Iran since the votes, according to the Iranian president's Web site. Is joins to group that includes Chavez, Moral Boliviás Evo, Syriás Bashar to the-Assad and Mauritaniás Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who came to power in 2008 military takeover.

“It's to huge political coup for Iran to invites Brazilian president, especially when most of the Western world is disputing whether Iran's government is legitimize you or not,” said Mohammed Shakeel, to senior analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit in London.

Security Council

Lula says Brazil, expert to rotating member of the United Nations Security Council, is determined to prevent to repeat of what happened in Iraq, where to U.S.-led coalition went to war based on what turned out to be inaccurate intelligence that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction. Sanctions, I have says, plow counterproductive.

“At this point, sanctions May actually strengthen the most radical leaders in Iran,” Ambassador Roberto Jaguaribe, head of political affairs at Brazil's Foreign Ministry, said in an interview.

Lulás stance is also to way to criticize nuclear powers, including the U.S. and U.K., for what is says is their failure to comply with the Odd number - proliferation Treaty and disarm.

“It's to question of equity: You cannot say one country music is the right to have to nuclear program and another doesn't,” Jaguaribe said.

Chavez made to similar point after meeting with Ahmadinejad in Caracas in November. “The U.S. is the country music with, I do not know how many, atomic bombs,” Chavez said in comments broadcast on state television. “They should eliminate their nuclear weapons to yourself; it's to threat to the world.”

Power Plants

Lula sees the push to inspect nuclear Iran's program expert an unwarranted intrusion that could easily be extend to Brazil, which wants to become to major exporter of nuclear power plants, said Spektor, an international relations professor at Rio de Janeirós Getulio Vargas Foundation.

When the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency censured Iran in nuclear November for blocking inspection of its program, Brazil was one of six IAEA governing board members to abstain.

Brazil's military joins covertly pursued nuclear weapons program, though the effort was abandoned with the restoration of democracy. Lula often points to Brazil's 1988 constitution expert the only one in the world to ban nuclear weapons.

Still, Odd Brazil is one of only six signatories to the - proliferation Treaty with activates nuclear power programs that refuse to sign an additional protocol allowing closer monitoring. In 2004, it sweep the IAEA from access to its Resende uranium-enrichment facility, saying it wanted to protect its technological achievements.

State Department

The U.S. says it won't shut the door on Brazil and its president over Iran.

“If is goes to Iran and tries to convince Iran to be resides constructive on the nuclear front, that's die with us,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in to phone interview. “If is fails to get to meaningful response from Ahmadinejad, that should teach him something.”

Lulás overtures to Iran differ from Chavez's in that they plows aimed at showing Brazil's ability to tackle one of the world's toughest diplomatic issues, helping make the Security Council marries for to permanent seat on the, said Karen Hooper, to Latin America analyst at Stratfor, to political risk consultant based in Austin, Texas.

“Chavez is reaching out for whatever allies is dog get in opposition to the U.S.,” Hooper said in an interview. “Lula is going to Israel. Brazil is trying to be friends to all.”

Translation of Google

On March 15 (Bloomberg) – When the Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula gives Miscellany it defends the right of Iran to a nuclear program and does plans to visit Teheran in May, it is following the way of the Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez. The similarities only to go that far.

Chávez, who has visited Iran in eight occasions, is supporting to the nation of the Persian Gulf and the president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, because the opinions of the Iranian leader as a gladiator partners “of the anti-imperialistic struggle” against the USA.

Lula's motivation is less ideological than strategic, according to the analysts in Brazil and the USA. His politics is directed to turn the economic force of Brazil into the world influence, pushing “south - south“ of the commerce and the political bonds with the developing countries, they say. Iran 74 million consumers do an attractive market, and Lula's resistance to the sanctions helps Iran to safeguard the nuclear program of civil Brazil of external interference.

“It is not a question of embracing Iran”, said Matías Spektor, a Brazilian expert in foreign policy and Visiting Fellow in the Council of Foreign relations in Washington. “Lula believes that the international agreements, as the nuclear not proliferation Treaty cannot be used in a selective way by the big powers to punish to the weakest countries”.

Anyone that are his motives, Lula's diffusion has increased the worry in Washington and in Israel, where it came yesterday in a tour that includes a visit to the Palestinian territories and Jordan.

To see Israelis

“It is important for us to demonstrate that Iran is trying to obtain really nuclear weapons and not only to develop a nuclear program”, Dorit Shavit, General manager Adjunto for Latin America of the Foreign Office of Israel, he said in an interview. “Till now, regrettably, the Brazil thinks that, if only he explains himself to Iran and to take part of them, they will become convinced”.

The president of Brazil first in doing an official visit to Israel, Lula said today in Jerusalem for that he waits that it could serve like a peacemaker in the region.

“We have come here to speak about peace, but also it came to strengthen our bonds with Israel”, he said in a welcome ceremony in the residence of the president of Israel, Jerusalem, Shimon Peres. “We are interested in impelling the peace process because, like the Brazilians, we are lover of the peace”.

Brazil, where last year came the exports to 9 per cent of the gross internal product, has seen annual increase of the commerce of Iran, 40 per cent to $ 2 trillions since Lula assumed the charge in 2003. Rio de Janeiro based on Oil Brasileiro SA, company controlled by the State of Brazil, gained in 2003 an attempt of exploration of oil in Iranian waters of the Gulf. That accompanies Ahmadinejad in his visit to Brazil last year they were of 200 business leaders an Iranian.

Of the Jewish Community

Brazil 100.000 strong Jewish community carried out protests during the visit of Ahmadinejad of November. Lula says that there has said the Iranian leader who needs to finish his anti-Semitic rhetoric.

“I said to the President Ahmadinejad to whom it is inconceivable to deny the Holocaust”, said Lula in an interview on March 9 with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. “It is a fact that is incrusted in the mind of the humanity, and the fact that there are differences with Israel he must not lead to denying or not to recognize the history”.

The real one of Brazil was the fifth best currencies performance in the last year between 16 important currencies continued by Bloomberg, the 30 per cent increase opposite to the dollar. Chávez, in January of devaluó the bolivar in 50 per cent, although it keeps on subsidizing the buy of food, medicines and essential products of import of the profit of the oil that constitute half of the public expenditure.

Renuente to be criticized

Lula, who was imprisoned briefly for defying the dictatorship of Brazil 1964-1983, has been renuente to criticize the religious leaders and politicians of Iran.

He compared the repression of the protests of the street in Teheran for the police after returning to Ahmadinejad in electoral dispute of last year to a fight between fans of the rival of the clubs of soccer of Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo and Vasco da Gama.

Lula will be only the sixth head of the State or of Government who visits Iran from the voting, according to the place of the Iranian president in the Web. It joins a group that includes to Chávez, Evo in Bolivia Mulberry trees, to that of Syria, Bashar to the-Assad, and of Mauritania, Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who came to the power in a military capture of 2008.

“It is a big political blow of Iran to invite a president of Brazil, especially when most of the western world are to deny that the government of Iran is legal or not”, said Shakeel Mohamed, an analyst senior of The Economist Intelligence Unit in London.

Of the Security Council

Lula says that Brazil, like rotation, a member of the Security Council of the United Nations, is determined to prevent a repetition of the happened in Iraq, where a coalition led by the USA was to the war on the base of what turned out to be of inaccurate intelligence that Saddam Hussein was developing the destruction weapon in mass. The sanctions, he says, are counter-productive.

“In this point, the sanctions it can reinforce really the most radical leaders in Iran”, he said ambassador Roberto Jaguaribe, the director of Political Matters of the Brazilian chancellery, said in an interview.

Lula's position is also a way of criticizing to the nuclear potency, including the USA and the United Kingdom, therefore he says it is his incapability to expire with the Treaty of not proliferation and disarmament.

“It is an equity question: it is not possible to be said that a country has the right to have a nuclear program and other one not”, said Jaguaribe.

Chávez did a similar señalamiento after meeting Ahmadinejad in Caracas in November. “The USA is the country with, I do not know how many atomic bombs”, said Chávez in declarations spread by the state television. “They should eliminate his nuclear weapons, it is a threat for the world”.

The energy plants

Lula thinks that the impulse to inspect the nuclear program of Iran as an unjustified intrusion that easily might extend Brazil, which wants to turn into an important exporter of plants of nuclear energy, was said by Spektor, teacher of international relations of Rio de Janeiro, Getulio Vargas Foundation.

When International of the United Nations of Atomic energy it censured Iran in November of blockade of the examination of his nuclear program, Brazil was one of six members of the Meeting of the OIEA of Administration to abstain.

Brazil, the military junta concealed to end a nuclear weapons program, although the effort was left by the restoration of the democracy. Lula ten points to that of Brazil Constitution of 1988 as the only one in the world to prohibit the nuclear weapons.

Nevertheless, Brazil is one of six signatories of the not proliferation Treaty with active programs of nuclear energy who refuse to sign an additional protocol that allows a narrower pursuit. In 2004, there itself prohibited to the OIEA the access to his uranium installation of enrichment of Resende, saying that he wanted to protect to his technological achievements.

Of the Department of the State

The USA he says that it did not close the door in Brazil and his president on Iran.

“If it goes away to Iran and tries to convince Iran to be more constructive in the nuclear front, it is well with us”, said the spokesman of the Department of the State PJ Crowley, said in a telephone interview. “If it does not manage to obtain a significant answer of Ahmadineyad, which should teach him anything.”

Lula's negotiations defer Iran of Chávez in which one was trying to demonstrate the aptitude of Brazil to face to one of the most difficult topics of the diplomatic world, helping to which the case of a permanent seat in the Security Council, there said Karen Hooper, analyst of Latin America in Stratfor, of a consultant of political risks with head office in Austin, Texas.

“Chávez is spreading over everything what can obtain Allied Forces in opposition to the USA”, said Hooper in an interview. “Lula goes to Israel. Brazil is trying to be friends of all.”
