JOSE LUIS SAMPEDRO y el gasto público por la Visita del Papa

Aquí os dejo una reflexión a tumba abierta.  Jose Luis Sampredo con sus 94 años, en su estilo abierto, sincero y sin pelos en la lengua, cuenta lo que siente y lo que piensa con la venida del Papa a nuestro país, de la manera ostentosa que lo hace, seguido por cientos de miles de jóvenes provenientes de todo el mundo, con el gasto púbico que todo ello supone, cuando, como dice Sampredro, más de las tres cuartas partes de la  sociedad no vamos a misa los domingos y por lo tanto no somos practicantes de una religión dudosamente espiritual y sí más cercana al mundo del dinero y las posesiones.



FEDERICO MAYOR ZARAGOZA y lo " INAPLAZABLE"

Es cierto como dice Mayor Zaragoza que es vital que  hagamos algo práctico y cuanto antes mejor puesto que, efectivamente, nos estamos cargando todo lo positivo poco a poco y es por ello que resulta urgente dejar de confiar en la repetición de la jugada. Por ello, aquí os transcribo sus palabras, que apoyo plenamente: 

LOS PUENTES DE MADISON, LA TEORIA INTEGRAL Y CONOCER EL VERDADERO AMOR



Acabo de ver esa fabulosa película de Clint Eastwood (como director y actor) de los "Puentes de Madison" que nos muestra la grandiosidad del alma humana y la cruda realidad de los niveles de conciencia más prejuiciosos de la América profunda (azul y ambar en el código de colores de la Teoría Integral de Ken Wilber), frente a la libertad en su estado más puro, ya en el segundo grado de conciencia, ese que colabora con los demás desde la individualidad de su propia conciencia (nivel amarillo de conciencia en el código Wilberiano).
Una vez más, (pues ésta es la tercera vez que la veo) ha tocado las fibras más finas de mi corazón y no digo de mujer, porque también he visto en la figura del hombre que Clint interpreta que un hombre consciente puede ser tocado por la magia del sentimiento puro y puede dolerse profundamente por el desgarro de un amor imposible.  Lo femenino y lo masculino en mí se han alborotado y, una vez más, el romanticismo llevado al extremo del desencuentro me ha hecho llorar.  Y me ha venido bien, porque soltar el corazón es una forma de desembarazarse de las energías sobrantes, anhelantes, irreales, al fin,  porque aunque cierta es la profundidad de lo que Clint cuenta en la película, ¡¡¡ qué lejos estamos hoy de esa magia magnífica de la sensibilidad inteligente y cómplice que puede darse entre dos seres humanos cuando vibran con la misma nota ¡¡¡.  Al principio he dicho lo del hombre consciente (y yo añadiría, inteligente y creativo), por eso:  ¿Dónde están los Robert Kinkade, Edward en Sentido y Sensibilidad o el propio Becquer en este mundo?  Pues eso,  bajo tierra, en las páginas escritas de un libro o en una tira de celuloide.  Sería deseable que toda mujer encuentre el suyo. Y digo esto sabiendo que es un deseo bien romántico y poco realista. ¿No es esta la forma de aprender ACEPTACION?

MY MOVE TO NATURE IN THE FOREST AND THE SEA IN 2011

As I won't stop to be in construction, as I construct reality day by day with the bricks of what my own perception makes with the things that occur to me (as I know everybody does), let's say that what I want to comment is what has already happened in my present life.  

I've come to live in an area of Alicante where finally Nature is close because I see it, I smell it and I feel it.

Now starts my new walk around the shops and establishments (academical and non accademical) to distribute my publicity that with such a dediction and care I've created in order to offer my knowledge and expertise, my intuitions and resources in the form of translation of scientifical, comercial and accademical  texts as well as interpretation services for business or personal meetings, congresses or conferences, as I can do it simultaneously, consecutively or whispering.  I also offer integral individual, group or couple therapy, as well as ontological coaching or transpersonal guidance that I myself  have experienced during many years.  I offer silence to find the body, the emotions, the mind and the soul in the form of personal and professional development courses, meditation groups, body work (yoga, tai-chi, biodance, body expression, eutony), emotional unblocking and cognitive reestructuration because working with Conciousness is to create silence within the cells in order to be able to connect with the gene of peace in each level and line of expression. ¡Ahh, and I even sing and recite poems¡

 The novelty in all this, as wide as the offer may seem is that now I also make therapy through Internet or like the fashion calls it "On-Line Therapy" as it is important to be updated with the new technologies.  I myself am surprised because even though I have more than 20 years experience in therapeutical work I never thought that a machine could offer such a good service.  The camera, the sound and the good disposition of both parties that desire such a type of encounter make that the result be optimal.  I even have consultancy with people in Dubai and Switzerland ¡¡¡.  If anyone want to try it please connect.
Life is a wonderful and unique experience so let's keep it up ¡¡¡

THE GREAT BOOK FROM SIMONE SEGAL " THE GIFT" IF ONY YOU KNEW

In 2008 the book "The Secret" became a worldwide best-seller because it was telling us how to be happier, better and also how to be more successfull in life.  And all that in a very clear, amusing and convincing manner. The book itself was not a great book neither was a deep or very well written book.  Only for the people of the New Era was considered almost as sacred.  The thruth is that it went around the world and changed the life of many. 

Now Simone Segal gives us the Gift of reading his fluent and simple wisdom to carry life in a more positive manner.  Her thoughts are deep yet easy to understand and easy to follow in its kind pace and rythm.  I met Simone in a very coincidental manner as the most sacred things happen just one year ago, and we've become the best friends now, as her beauty of heart and great soul make of her a poem of her own.




Although I had red the Secret and was not impressed at all, yes there was an interest for the "law of attraction" which the Secret was claiming to introduce (whenever it was older than eating).  The thing is that  the book of Simone (based on the law of attractions) served me as a simple balsam and push toward  the well-being during the first three difficult months of my moving here to this area.  Her fluent and inspired writing, her wide knowledge about the proposed themes of the 40 poems of the book did served me as a real daily boost as I got used to read 3 or 4 poems every morning with my breakfast like if it would be (and it was) a real nourishment for the soul.  Therefore for all you that may read english or would like to learn the language, i don't see any better way than buying this fantastic book "The Gift" with the subtitle "If only you knew" from Simone Seagal.  I herewith leave you its link so you can start glimpsing a little bit of his work  as I do highly recommended precisely for its inocence, freshness and simpleness; qualities that go directly to the heart and soul of the reader.

KEN WILBER TALKS ABOUT EPISTEMOLOGY AND PHOTO WITH RAQUELTORRENT

KEN WILBER & RAQUEL TORRENT in 2010

I herewith leave you with the link that will connect you to the Ken Wilber's video on the three Epystemologies of Science:  Paradigms (Thomas Khun),  Empiric and Falsable (Karl Popper).  People that know me know that Ken is one of my masters and one of the most admired people on this planet for the creation of his Integral Vision and his Integral Methodology, because even though many critics have arose about his "persona" and his theory, that doesn't take the validity of all the wonderful things this man has created since more than 40 years ago when he wrote The Spectrum of Conciousness, a very recommended book to start loving him and understand him which is the same thing than to love ourselves and understand ourselves as this man writes for the heart from the heart. ¡¡¡ May be some day I will write a book about my story with him and my three trips to Denver too see him ¡¡¡.

KEN WILBER IN A VIDEO FROM THE UNED SPANISH UNIVERSITY

Ken Wilber

I herewith want to share with you a video from the Uned Spanish University (Philosophy Department) where they interview a professor of the University about Ken Wilber and his Integral Theory, appearing some parts where Ken appears as well.

I just want to share my happiness when seeing that the academical world (now the UNED University) is already starting to recognize the work of Ken Wilber in a serious, ellaborated and systematic manner as he deserves, therefore verifying that all things made by the Spanish Integral Community are now giving fruit.   More and more people are following such a wonderful leading edge thinker and other integral authors.

CALMNESS OF THE JAPANEESE PEOPLE AS MODEL FOR THE WORLD

The only thing that I can think of every morning when I wake up in these times we're living it to put my eyes up to Heaven and give thanks, first because I'm still alive, secondly because I've slept all night long because I don't have insomnia as the 10% of the population, thirdly because no burgler broke into the house to rob me and in the fourth place because during the night no earthquake, tsunami or radioactive leak has fried me.


If the events of  11-S froze the blood and as we all say "nothing was ever the same", the earthquake of Japan, with its tsunami and its nuclear leaks included, leave us shaking and shivering ¡¡¡.  If in that terrible day of 2001 fear was in the heart and mind of the great majority of people in the world - so much so that the finantial markets lowered their dividends because of the fear and even the axis of the earth moved surely because of the energetic force of millions of minds united in a single state of horror and astonishment;  now we have gotten even further 17 cms the earth has moved to a side (not from north to south but from horizontally) that it will cause a shortening of the lenght of the days, although practically unrecognizeable.

I don't desire to seem Apocalyptic.  I just want to reflect the big change that is occurring in humanity's perception.  We are starting to look at each other with the great question mark in the forehead.  What is hapenning?? we would like to ask each other... but we don't have the guts to do it to all the extent although it is true that much more than before.  As reality overpass fictions, the present reality is giving us the permission to do it, the opportunity to start a conversation for not been alone when confronting danger (although we may not even know if there is such).  Reality is at the end presenting us with the facts of an announced transformation by many,by all ... if we look into our hearts to recognize "this could not keep on like this".

In this transformation of humanity and its doings we can observe how are not only the politicians, or the economists, the doctors or philosophers or any other title or wealth  who are changing the world.  It is the people with their (inner and outer)  net communications.  



And in the midst of all the chaos, pain and disaster, the great teaching of Zen attitude of the people from Japan is  admirable in its calmness, solidarity and naturalness. They are showing us the zen of the people as they make aligned and tranquil  cues, there are no robberies, they help each other and there is no screams or runs or hysterisms.  Japanese people keep their sufferings for themselves in order to maintain the respect intact toward the other.  We hope that we will not have to end up making a collective or individual Hara-Kiri not only for our politicians but for their own too so that they open their eyes towards the Climate Change opening direct and effective applications of sustainable solutions because that is the only reason for the natural disasters that we are having in all the planet in such a great proportion that it is showing the reaction of the earth against the terrible things we're doing to it since almost 100 years now.



INTEGRAL SPAIN, NEW GROUP OPENED IN LINKEDIN BY RAQUEL TORRENT

I herewith share the new group, Raquel Torrent has opened in Linkedin

SHOWING INTEGRAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE RESPECT FOR DEATH

                                                                                    

It is important to listen to the wise people and Koldo Aldai that for me is an informed voice in soul and heart matters, talks beautifully about what many of us think, not about Osama Bin Laden's death (may rest in peace now) but about the reaction that above all the northamerican people has had. I remember an also wise refrain (my mother used to say that "refrains are concentrated ratial experience") that says "it is not good to make fire from a fallen tree".  That's why and because I want to listen to my elders (my culture and therefore the lower left quadrant), because I do feel and express the same and because it is not natural to enjoy death -as a revange- (as this has not been like in other cultures that they rejoice with death giving it the spirital meaning based in the conciousness of an after death life and a recognition of evolution), I have the pleasure to share with you the wonderful words of Koldo.  You will be able to read them if you read Spanish in the Spanish labels of my posts.  If not it will serve you to just think about the respect for death.

RAQIUEL TORRENT JOINS "MANIFESTO" - The new movement for conciousness

I have just joined a very interesing movement that has arrived to me through a reliable friend and I have liked mostly everything that proposes in the promotional video named "Manifesto".

my attention how this young fellow, Garret, has created such a great movement in such a little time, going already around the world. And I think is so because integrates such interesting matters as Politics with Sociology and Psychology and these three with the deep Psychology with its work of the shadow and the spirituallity. In fact in this video invites to practice meditation everyday in a very nice and useful manner. This video that I'm going to share now with you, well with those ones that may understand english, although the Manifesto has subtitles in spanish so nobody stays without understanding what's this about, talks about LOVE, that one with capital letters and therefore the authentic, that always keeps on giving, without resentment,  waiting only for a smile to shine again, without doing it before, avoiding disturbance of the shadow as it is too involved in the negativitiy.

It is true that the moment of change is Now, because we have no more time, according with all the esoterical, scientifical & religious predictions.  That's why we could take the streets while we smile... from the heart .  Let's remember that phrase/feelling 

of "We are all ONE" and let's finally  live it as a reality.  It is the power of the people for the people, supported by the other big reality:  Internet and the mobiles.  

NUEVO MOVIMIENTO CON CORAZON Y PARA EL CAMBIO PLANETARIO

Acabo de unirme a un movimiento interesante porque me ha llegado a través de un amigo de toda confianza y me ha gustado casi todo lo que propone en el video promocional, que se llama "Manifesto".  El movimiento se llama Wayseers, lo cual me gusta mucho porque quiere deecir "Los que ven el Camino". 

INDIGNATION FOR THE VOTING PROCEDURE OFELECCTIONS IN SPAIN

First thing that I want to do is to congratulate "the winners" (expresssion that I don't like at all by the way although used by Zapatero) in order to designate those people that have obtain the majoriy of votes in these elections. I consider that the ones that win are the citizens that have voted this or that party. Those ones that have moved from the couch to go and vote expressing their opinion, in a democratic manner.  Congratulations because using that right is so far the best thing we have.  Aaaa, and also I would like to thank and congratulate the massive participation of the foreigners on this voting process because I saw that they were the highest percentage of the people present at the Orihuela Costa Town Hall (90% of the voters).

Unfortunately I couldn't vote in yesterday's electoral day.  That fact burnt me to the point of asking responsabilities at the electoral table and demand the president of the table some kind of paper to justify that they didn't let me vote and therefore be able to sue the system. I recognize my own responsibility in the fact.  I saw, once more how certain negative characteristics of my ego cause me problems that affect me and others, like yesterday.  The most superficial, that means the one that manifest in the surface is:  negligence.  Nevertheless there is always some reason for the negligent act ¿which one? :  laziness.  Laziness is the second negative characteristic that made me lose the elections (my own elections, the interior ones, those that had to do with my hapiness of belonging to a democratic country that permitted me manifest a free vote.  Such a  voting act for which so much effort and blood has been shed even previous to my existance.

The facts were as follows:
As I do live in the middle of the country and I need the car for moving around... and as I live here not long ago and I don't know the places so well yet, I thought it would be a good idea to vote through the mail system just in case they would put the electoral tables too far away from my house and in a place that I would have not known. I went to he Post Office (that yes I knew where it was) and started the process of asking to vote through the mailing system.  While I was waiting to receive the voting papers (from which I should then select the ones I wanted to vote) I received a notification of the place where my voting table was.  And it was very convenient for me, so I decided to go personally and physically vote myself  because it was even at less distance than the Post Office.

The thing is that when I tried  to put the ballot paper on the voting urn, they didn't let me because they said that me, Raquel Torrent HAD ALREADY VOTE THROUGH THE MAIL ¡¡¡ Then I said "No, I haven't, I have only asked to do it but I never returned any papers so Raquel Torrent has not  voted.  I've never selected any party or sent back my voting.  Well, I'm sorry but YOU CANNOT VOTE, was her answer.  So there I was with the silly face, a real pity in my heart and a rage in my emotions that made the President to get out of the table and make me the paper saying what she just told me.  Surely I ddn't do that to disturb her or just because I was mad but because I truly want to denouce and change a silly electoral norm because ASKING TO VOTE THROUGH THE MAIL SHOULDN'T IN ANY CASE BE TAKEN AS A VOTE UNLESS THE BALLOT PAPERS ARE SENT BACK THROUGH THE MAIL BY THE SAME PERSON THAT ASKED FOR THEM.  I didn't even received the ballot papers¡¡¡  And to whom has my vote gone??.  Very probably they count it as a NULE vote.

Well, what I've learnt above all (on top of recognizing how the laziness makes me negligent... thank God that I do did very little times ¡¡¡) is to be more CONFIDENT that everything is going to be alright and have MORE PATIENT that is without a doubt the most important lesson that I came here to learn.

By the way does any one know what could I do to start a denunciation process with the paper I have signed by the president of the table???  Because I don't think that it has to be done directly with the Police although I'm going to ask them and if they take the denunciation I may come out in the papers :-) LOL. Because I want to really make noise with this because there is a real LEGAL HOLE and very very grave ¡¡¡.

MEN ASK PUBLIC FORGIVENESS TO WOMEN

I want to share with you this beauty that I find as important as to spread it throughout the planet and women start to generate and incarnate what we have inside from the beginning of our human history... love, care and conexion with the earth.  It is very probable that if all men would commit to the same principles that in this DVD, wars would end and finally peace would be established on the world.  May be this could be the new style of government that humanity is waiting for so desperately.

PETER MERRY AND THE EARTH CHARTER

I want to share with you the wonderful words of Peter Merry (Director for Human Emergence) about the Earth Charter.  Peter was one of the speakers at the  VI INTEGRAL CONFERENCE  in Barcelona just the year that I left the Presidency of the Spanish Integral Association and I met him in Dinkelsherben (Germany) while in a course with Don Beck learning the Spyral Dynamics Integral  principles.

Care for the community of life with understanding, compassion and love’ is for me the encompassing principle of the Earth Charter. It brings us to the essence of the work to be done: to nurture life wherever and however it expresses itself.  Anywhere where we see life bursting through, emerging and wanting to experiment, we should be encouraging it. Whether we find it in creative human communities looking for new ways of seeing and doing or in the biodiversity of nature, it is our job to enable life to keep exploring and becoming aware of itself.

How do these principles inform my life? They inform me at all levels in my life; forming the impulse to live with my family in a sustainable neighbourhood, a habitat which supports the spark of life between people and supports locally produced food. It informs how I can best contribute given who I am and what I have to offer. It is a continually evolving quest. In my work I have founded an organization, the Centre for Human Emergence, which is a living experiment in an organizational form able to support the Community of life.
One example is our work within a consortium together with pharmaceutical companies, NGO’s, government bodies and research institutes to develop solutions that meet the goal of MDG5 ‘to improve maternal and new born health’. The complexity of the challenge demands a matching diversity of perspectives in order to solve it. Working together, actors who do not naturally come together can create solutions not imaginable by the parts.

RAQUELTORRENT ENTREVISTA A SIMONE SEGAL



Adjunto os envío un enlace a la entrevista que he realizado EN INGLES  a Simone Segal, escritora y poeta, que nos habla de cómo llego a crear su primer libro de poemas con la temática de la Ley de Atracción como fondo de su pensamiento poético.  Sus versos son sencillos y profundos, cualidades ambas que tanto faltan en nuestro mundo moderno tan de espaldas a la realidad más humana. Simone es mi amiga y hermana de alma, pues a parte de compartir con ella momentos magníficos, su poemario sirvió de inspiración y apoyo para mi llegada a esta zona del país donde me vine hace un año y en donde ella también vive con su marido.     http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMachi123?feature=mhee

LA HORA DE "LOS PUEBLOS"

Quiero compartir con vosotros este magnífico artículo de Federico Mayor Zaragoza, gran pensador, político social, filósofo y filántropo de su tiempo y persona, que nos habla del importante momento que estamos viviendo y de la gran oportunidad que tenemos de que estos  fuegos artificiales de la conciencia política y social que los ciudadanos (sobre todo los más jóvenes) estamos demostrando no quede sólo en eso, en un fuego fatuo que no tenga repercusión futura y por lo tanto que no encuentre la vía de manifestación y desarrollo apropiada. Los cánticos populares y los movimientos del "pueblo" parecerían estarnos llevando lentamente hacia una "tercera república" que claro está no vería bien seguir pagando ni a un senado, ni a una institución monárquica millonaria (por la gran cantidad de miembros de que dispone).  Y no es que no sea monárquica o no me gusten, el rey, la reina y los príncipes. La verdad es que me caen muy bien y además han demostrado ser unos seres humanos excepcionales. Es una de las monarquias más saludables y menos corruptas que conozco, ahora bien, si que es cierto que me gustaría más que nos modernizaramos y que esos gastos se dedicasen a cuestiones más sociales en beneficio de todos. Por eso si de verdad el pueblo va a volver a dirigir los designios de este país (que no digo que sería lo mejor, puesto que lo mejor es lo más adecuado para la mayoría y aún no queda claro qué es eso exactamente), espero que sus componentes sean más listos, más cautos y más responsables con lo que es de cada uno, diferenciandolo y sabiendo lo que sí es de todos.

Por fin, “los pueblos” están empezando a tomar en sus manos las riendas del destino común. Las maquinaciones del Gran Dominio –financiero, militar, energético, mediático– comienzan a ser contrarrestadas por millones de voces hasta ahora desoídas y acalladas. Son los estertores de un sistema que, liderado por el presidente Reagan y la premier Thatcher, sustituyó los principios de justicia social, dignidad humana, libertad y solidaridad por el mercantilismo puro; las ayudas, por préstamos en condiciones draconianas; la cooperación internacional, por explotación; y las Naciones Unidas, por una oligarquía plutocrática (G-6, G-7, G-8…)

En todos estos años, la mayoría de los países fueron cayendo en la trampa de la “globalización”, y los intereses a corto plazo fueron ocultando, en el apogeo de la expansión neoliberal, el deterioro medioambiental, las burbujas económicas, la impunidad en el espacio supranacional con inadmisibles tráficos de toda índole, personas incluidas; el incremento de las asimetrías sociales; la deslocalización fundamentada en el “todo vale”… Todo ello aderezado con invasiones como las de Kósovo o Irak, basadas en la discrecionalidad y la mentira, sin contar con la autorización del Consejo de Seguridad.

De pronto, en momentos en que el gasto militar alcanzaba diariamente los 4.000 millones de dólares al tiempo que morían de hambre más de 60.000 personas, llegó la quiebra del sistema financiero en EEUU y su inmediato “rescate”. No había dinero para los Objetivos del Milenio, para la lucha contra el hambre y la pobreza extrema, ni contra el sida, pero, de pronto, aparecieron torrentes de fondos para salvar del naufragio a los mismos financieros que habían provocado la catástrofe. El Gran Dominio, restablecido, vuelve a las andadas y ha decidido aplicar a los países de la eurozona los mismos “ajustes” que durante décadas aplicó a los países en desarrollo: recortes, despidos masivos, privatizaciones a mansalva…

Sin embargo, desde los primeros años de la década de los noventa se viene fraguando el cambio radical que podría hacer posible que el siglo XXI sea el siglo de la gente. Desde el origen de los tiempos, unos cuantos hombres han mandado sobre el resto de los hombres y de las mujeres. Los ciudadanos no han tenido más opción que obedecer, ofreciendo sin discusión hasta su propia vida cuando quienes ostentaban el poder así lo requerían. Las elecciones han representado un importante adelanto, pero su “formalización progresiva” ha llevado, junto a una notoria desinformación de la ciudadanía, a democracias muy imperfectas, donde los ciudadanos son contados en las elecciones, pero luego no son tenidos en cuenta.

Pues bien, cuando la tecnología de la comunicación empezó a permitir la exposición libre –por internet y los SMS de la telefonía móvil–, estaba claro que la participación no presencial sería el gran factor de transformaciones de hondo calado. Mediante los mismos avances tecnológicos se está procurando distraer a “los pueblos”, mantenerlos como espectadores impasibles, como receptores permanentes. Pero han sido ya muchos, y serán muchos más en el futuro próximo, los que vayan incorporándose a la gran plaza mundial del ciberespacio, a la gran Puerta del Sol, desde donde pedirán, como Blas de Otero, “la paz y la palabra”. Sus voces, expresadas serena y pacíficamente, ya no podrán ser desoídas.

Esta capacidad va acompañada de una conciencia global y de un conocimiento de la realidad a escala planetaria que permiten no sólo conocer las precariedades de los demás, sino apreciar lo que cada uno posee. Los ciudadanos del mundo se van dando cuenta de que pueden modificar las formas de gobernación mundial y hacer frente a los poderes que siempre han deseado, desde sus altos pedestales, mantenerlos atemorizados y silenciados.

Así, en Irán, China, Túnez, Egipto, Libia, Yemen, Siria, Italia o Reino Unido hubo concentraciones importantes, especialmente en el caso de la Primavera Árabe, movilizadas desde el ciberespacio, y el 15 de mayo se inició en España la reunión de los indignados, que respondían así a la provocación del lúcido nonagenario Stéphane Hessel. Urgidos, pero sin violencia, los ciudadanos, especialmente los jóvenes, están planteando con propuestas concretas una auténtica reformulación de la democracia. “Situaciones sin precedentes requieren soluciones sin precedentes”, ha escrito Amin Maalouf, y me gusta repetirlo. Ha llegado el momento de la reacción popular, de formular propuestas muy concretas e innovadoras que respondan a los “esfuerzos creadores” que Robert Schumman reclamaba en 1950 para la Europa comunitaria que iniciaba su andadura.

Reforma inmediata de la Ley Electoral, supresión de los paraísos fiscales, rechazo a los servicios de los bancos que utilizan esos medios de evasión, transición urgente desde una economía de especulación a una productiva, desarrollo global sostenible, son algunas de esas propuestas. Otras son la autonomía europea en seguridad, con sus propios observatorios y mecanismos de calificación y decisión económica; el inaplazable desarme nuclear, y refundación de un sistema de Naciones Unidas como interlocutor único, dotado de toda la autoridad necesaria para resolver conflictos como los que hoy intentan –con efectos colaterales inadmisibles– abordar infructuosamente los periclitados G-8 o G-20. Todo esto podría ser realidad en poco tiempo.
Federico Mayor Zaragoza
