Every day the demos are getting bigger, pickets become gigantic and merge into marches and rioting.
It’s not just a case of changing Prime Minister, half the government are implicated in mass bribery. If Rajoy goes others and the maybe the whole government will fall.
Then the ‘Troika’ program of closing all public services, schools, hospitals, pensions.. plus 500 mortgage evictions a day and general unemployment.. may grind to an halt.
According to a report released by the United Nations World Heath Organization (WHO), 35 percent
of women around the world experience some form of physical or sexual violence, whether by an intimate partner or stranger, and the problem is so widespread that it is now considered a global public health problem.
While legislative actions are commendable, to date these measures have not led to a world free from violence—women continue to be subject to it, the media continues to report it, activists continue to fight against it and we end up in a perpetuating cycle of institutional inertia.
Perhaps we need to look more closely at the history and present day use of Patriarchal Power…..
The book Gas Amazónico “Amazon Gas ” exposes those responsible for the violation of the Rights to Life of peoples living in voluntary isolation.
by Marc Gavaldà.- The oil companies that are to exploit the Camisea Fields are operating with highly favpourable terms with questionable practices that violate the rights of native communities. The inaccessibility and lack of witnesses, combined with misleading government complicity and corporate image and community relations campaigns, allow Repsol, Petrobras, Hunt and Pluspetrol , the operating companies of lots 56,57,58 and 88, to act with a comfortable margin of impunity.
The book Gas Amazónico, a study under the Environmental Governability Program-ENGOV-which was recently published by the Icaria Editorial, provides new evidence of the misdeeds of these companies on both banks of the Urubamba River, south of the Peruvian Amazon.
There, dozens of indigenous communities, peoples Matsiguenga, Yne yami, Ashaninka and Kakinte have been entrapped to carry out an unprecedented industrialization of their territory.

The ‘Troika’ are demanding ever more cuts in Spain, due to the collapse of the corrupt banks which are being ‘rescue’ by endless billions pf piblic money and loans
Amnesty International (AI) criticizes the health reforms have left 873,000 immigrants without health card in Spain “preventing or hindering” their access to health care, and “sometimes even putting their lives at risk.” The local rabid right have seized the moment to sell of the Madrid health sustem to their corrupt friends.
Amnesty death risk warning for immigrants without medical coverage
TONI MARTINEZ
Non health care for illegal immigrants is a “regressive and discriminatory” measure that is “prohibited by law and international human rights standards.”
Furthermore, this “health maze” could cause a chilling effect on some people who would choose not to attend health centers.
Amnesty International makes a number of recommendations to the Ministry of Health to prevent the occurrence of new cases like the Senegalese citizen. Among them, requesting that they “restore the universality of health rights, write a report assessing the impact of the Royal Decree that cut immigrants rights and that th government stop making speeches that stigmatize immigrants.”
These requests are made to be extended to the regions, requiring to inform medical personnel and “eliminate administrative irregularities that could lead to further exclusion of healthcare.”

Las reformas sanitarias han dejado sin tarjeta a
873.000 inmigrantes
por Kaos.
Amnistía Internacional (AI) critica que las reformas en materia de sanidad han dejado a 873.000 inmigrantes sin tarjeta sanitaria en España “impidiendo o dificultando” su acceso al sistema sanitario, e “incluso poniendo en ocasiones su vida en riesgo”.
Agencias
En una rueda de prensa, celebrada ayer jueves en Palma, el director de AI España, Esteban Beltrán, ha considerado esta medida “regresiva” y “discriminatoria” y ha pedido que se modifique el Real Decreto-Ley aprobado el uno de septiembre del año pasado, en el que, según AI, se “limita” el derecho a la salud de las personas inmigrantes, que tienen que pagar para recibir asistencia sanitaria, incluida la primaria.
La organización advierte de que la crisis económica no debería ser una excusa para recortar hasta el punto de “menoscabar la disponibilidad, accesibilidad y calidad de los servicios de atención sanitaria”. Por eso, Beltrán ha pedido un informe real sobre el “ahorro” que se habría conseguido hasta ahora.
No obstante, el problema básico, según Beltrán, es que la Constitución Española no recoge los derechos a la sanidad y a la vivienda como derechos fundamentales, de tal manera que son más susceptibles de ser modificados. Así, afirma que muchas personas quedan desprotegidas ante la ley y opina que deberían convertirse en derechos fundamentales.
Para denunciar la incidencia de estas medidas, que AI considera una violación a los derechos humanos, en Baleares, la organización ha elaborado un informe llamado “El laberinto de la exclusión sanitaria. Vulneraciones del derecho a la salud en las Islas Baleares”, que ha sido presentado en rueda de prensa esta mañana.
En ella, el autor del informe, Ignacio Jovtis, ha manifestado que sólo en el archipiélago, se han retirado 20.000 tarjetas sanitarias, alrededor del 2% de la población balear.
Jovtis también ha asegurado haber documentado casos de inmigrantes que, por “desinformación”, no han recibido un servicio al que por norma sí que tienen derecho, a parte de todos aquellos casos “invisibles” de personas sin papeles que renuncian a acudir al médico por miedo a que “les pillen” o porque no tienen cómo pagar el servicio y que no llegan a AI.
Por todo ello, el autor del informe ha pedido que la Consejería tome medidas y que se informe con exactitud al personal sanitario para que se eliminen las “irregularidades” que pueden “crear más exclusión”.

Military source claims that as many as 14 million could have mobilized across the country, which would constitute the largest protest in world history.
Egypt once more defied all expectations on Sunday, when Tahrir Square was re-occupied and millions took to the streets across the crisis-ridden country in an attempt to push President Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood from power and resume the revolutionary process that was kick-started with the spontaneous popular uprising that toppled Mubarak in January and February 2011. While the protests remained mostly peaceful, the health ministry has reported that at least 16 people have died and 781 have been injured in inter-factional clashes since Sunday.
