Open front against immigration in Spain: 6 xenophobic measures.



    The fiscal offensive launched by the government is so aggressive that it focuses all the attention and masks another tragedy, open struggle against immigrants.
I think << previous government had "excessively loose" interpretation of standards on family reunification and rootedness. >> Fatima Bañez, Minister for Employment and Social Security. 7/2/2012
    Six  are the most striking xenophobic measures, not the only, that has taken or will take in short this right-wing government against the immigrant community for pride of the far right:
    1 - Removal of foreign health insurance card to the unregulated documentation, effective from Sept. 1, 700.000 affected.
    2 - Will be an offense give jobs to undocumented workers, without be registered in Social Security or without having obtained proper work authorization. Included domestic workers without a contract, around 190.000 women affected.
    3 - Modificaionen of assumptions in rootedness.
    4 - The Express Deportation . Practiced illegally for years, a bill is announced to normalize, streamlining of procedures and quick expulsion of unregularized or criminal recorded foreigners.
    5 - It is anticipated the reform and hardening of the Organic Foreinger Act before the end of the year.
    6 - Payment in kind, housing in exchange for the mortgage balance. Regulated in the "Ten Commandments of Good Practice" for banks.-Unlike in USA, whe you buy a house with a mortage, banks give you money. If you can't pay banks calculate the real prize of your property. If is less tham the mortage you have to pay still the diference-. Burdened by debt, pushed by unemployment, foreign workers choose to return to their places of origin. In these cases the banks, seeing that the debt collection can be extended in time accept as payment the property itself. The plunder perpetrated confirms the spoliation and ruin of foreing worker. The government did not opt ​​for other many measures, just take their propertis, often unique heritage.

   Fascism has been installed in Spain and nobody can stop it.
    The government sees problems where previously seen only benefits: foreign workers, considered slave labor hand, with no rights or benefits, submissive, now out of work, just consume public resources. Solution: expel all, divide their assets and transform the remaining population into the new slaves, prisoners in the country, put down by government Armed Forces.
    Social forces are unable to cope with this wave of repression taken on all fronts. Years of alienation have been asleep barely awaken consciences. Repression is total: political, economic and social.
    In those settings nor the indigenous or migrant community are able to oppose sufficient resistance. A society in shock that not yet assimilated the changes occurring around them. A real tragedy.

   Call for organization
    Comrades, do not flee from this territore that have helped to build and is as much yours as anyone living in it. Do not let these fascists get their way. We can cope them, once was made and other will be made again. The struggle is hard but it has its rewards.

Comrades, Organize and fight! Together we can beat them!
Tear down the borders! Fall down the flags!

Hunting a King: Spanish Monarchy in spotlight


 

In the midst of the worst crisis in the last 60 years the Jucan Carlos I de Borbon, King of Spain, takes a few days off, as if it were an common public official to hunt elephants, a protected species, in Bostwana. There he brokes his hip and needed surgical intervention. For more banter the King is President of WWF-Adena, an recognized NGO dedicated to the conservation of nature and lucre of its managers. After surgery doctors said his greatest wish is return to work.

Biography
The work of king is know as stressful: galas and banquets in Viena, yachts in Caribbean and embassies in Arabia, hunts in africa. Let's take a brief overviewat his career:
-Born in 1938 in Rome, the grandson of Alfonso XIII of Spain expelled by the Second Republic in 1931 (see here an interesting article in spanish). Son of Juan de Borbon, not crowned and accused by his father Alfonso XIII of attempted usurpation of the crown. Due to disagreements between Franco and Juan de Borbon, Juan is skipped in the line of succession in favor of his son Juan Carlos, with the created by the dictator title of Prince of Spain; and emerging issue with the legitimate owner of the succesor tittle, the count of Barcelona, ​​his own father Juan.
- In 1939 Francisco Franco, mainly supported by Hitler, Mussolini and Salazar, wins the Civil War in Spain. He is proclaimed Caudillo and installs a dictatorship [franquismo]. He becomes the new King in functions, no one man has never had such power in Spain. Absolute military control.
- In 1948 Juan Carlos Arrives in Spain for the first time.
- In 1955 his father Juan comes to terms with Franco to give Juan Carlos education in Spain, receiving military training for 10 years in the three corps: Navy, Air, and Infantry.
- In 1956, August 29th Juan Carlos murdered his younger brother Alfonso, 12yo, with a revolver, on Estoril, Portugal. The fact was filed as an accident by authorities, but was denounced years later by his uncle Jaime de Borbón [in 1931 caiming hereditary deafness], after repent and retract his resignation to the crown rights. Requested an investigation was not carried out.
- In 1962 he get double marriege with Sophia in Spain and Greece, catholic and orthodox rites [maybe to exiliate to grece if spanish enterprise was failed].
- In 1969 is appointed as the successor of the Dictator as Head of State.
- In 1975 Franco deaths and Juan Carlos was proclaimed King and held since them the rank of Head of State. The 20th november swears to abide by the principles of the National Movement [fascist proclaim], which does not preclude support democratic reform [la transición]. This day is appointed as Captain General of the three bodies of the armed forces, the highest grade. Two days later crowed king.
- In 1977, in May, his father Juan renounces his dynastic rights. In November his son Felipe is designated as the Prince of Asturias, legitimate Royal Succesor tittle above his senior sisters, based on the "Pragmatic Sanction", law of 1830 in which the male has priority over the sisters.
- In 1981, February 23 [know in Spain as 23-F] disallows the military coup, wich reported him the popularity and aceptation he needed to pertetuate his reing. Witness insist that it was a maneuver to strengthen democracy and the royal household.
- In January 1989 acused of kill and beheaded Alfonso de Borbón y Dampierre, cousin of the King, Duke of Cadiz, who married the granddaughter of Franco in 1972 and therefore possible pretender to the throne. Facts happened in Aspen, USA, where he was skiing. His death raises again the controversy and questions about royal intervention in the events.
- In 2011, unleashed the crisis amid the scandal Urdangarín. His son in law was officialy charged in corruption by exploiting his position and influence to divert millions of euros. The facts splash the crown.

Conclusions
 -The Franco regime and the monarchy.
 As seen, the Franco regime did not affect the oligarchies, real masters of the country, which continued to rule more strongly driven by the Franco regime helped by militars. The demands and restrictions fell on the people. Franco ruled as a monarch. The return of the monarchy was inevitable.

-Juan Carlos and politics.
  The actual royal activity for institutional maintenance has not been politically oriented, it means that it is based on the survival and maintenance, above the political regime. During Franco's dictatorship Juan Carlos conformed to its conditions. When the social pressure became unbearable dictatorship and Juan Carlos adapted to democracy in the transiction "La transición". Since them he performed as ambassador and trader. This activity was driven by politicians and businessmen, soldiers and priests. The oligarchy.
   The activity of Juan Carlos as occupant of the throne has been to control and punish the other family members possible rivals to the throne. Brother, cousin, father. The crown requires sacrifices.

-Democracy and monarchy.
   The king and the crown is angrily defended as a symbol of the rulers and their values. As Rubicon is the emblem of the oligarchy, repression and force that this policial and military state can have. No one can critic the crown unther the worst punish, prision and torture. Oligarchy imposes a king "because they can".
   The king is representative of the values ​​of the oligarchy, and its double standards.
   On the one hand, facing the gallery with great fanfare: family, church, state, military, home, luxury, wealth and prosperity. Oligarchy imposes a king "because they want".
   But on the other hand, under a poorly hidden secret: murder, hatred, betrayal, envy, frustration, deception, opulence, waste, depressions and corruption.

Overthrow King
To overthrow the king would be necessary a social change, rejection of past values ​​and acquiring new ones, and overcome the constraints of the oligarchy, essentially military and repressive. Require a social revolution which, in the light is still far away.
But overthrow the king would not end the oligarchy. The fascist forces can be organized perfectly in republic as demonstrated in the I and II or dictatorships as with Franco.

Juan Carlos seems will die in bed, as his predecessor. Felipe was easy to get the throne, but hard to keep. Paved the way for his father, he will need a punch line style 23-F to quell doubts. We dig doubt that something must have thought.
Attacking the king is attacking the oligarchy, and will be no permit.
