Crise en Catalogne : ses racines, son devenir

Tenants et Aboutissants du Conflit en Catalogne

Ce vendredi 21 décembre, l’association Du côté de Collioure a proposé
une conférence de Père Manzanarès au centre culturel. Un auditoire
averti et curieux s’était pressé pour s’informer, comprendre et chercher
des réponses concernant "Les tenants et les aboutissants du conflit en
Catalogne". C’est avec pédagogie que le conférencier a remonté le temps
et montré que l’ancrage de cette crise a commencé au Moyen Âge (1027)
lorsqu’un premier souffle de démocratie a traversé la Catalogne qui
exigeait une consultation obligatoire des représentants avant toute
prise de décision, c’est-à-dire les militaires, bourgeois, des
ecclésiastiques et la royauté.

'This year, thousands of Catalans ended their Christmas day outside a
prison. On the evening of the 25th, huge numbers of people congregated
outside the Lledoners penitentiary in central Catalonia to sing carols
to the prisoners - in particular, to the seven political and civil
pro-independence leaders incarcerated there. Road accesses to the jail
near Sant Joan de Vilatorrada were bumper to bumper with traffic as
vehicles arrived between lunchtime and 7pm to give Christmas Day
encouragement to Jordi Sànchez, Jordi Cuixart, Oriol Junqueras, Jordi
Turull, Josep Rull, Raül Romeva and Joaquim Forn.

There were also
similar carol-singing gatherings at dusk at Puig de les Basses prison
in Figueres, where former Catalan government minister Dolors Bassa is in
prison, and at Mas d'Enric, in the south of Catalonia, where the former
speaker of parliament Carme Forcadell is jailed.'

Infantilisation intellectuelle dans les écoles de commerce

Théologie du management

Pour convertir de
studieux élèves de classe préparatoire et d’université en manageurs, les
grandes écoles de commerce institutionnalisent un mépris pour la
curiosité. Les étudiants perdent progressivement leur goût du savoir
pour se plier aux injonctions de la vie de l’établissement. Délestés de
leur souci scolaire, ils peuvent alors s’accommoder du « sérieux » du monde de l’entreprise.

In this exclusive interview with bestselling author, former finance

Assange. Furthermore we examine, amongst other issues, the
socio-economic transformations taking place within the core of the
European Union and how much time is left until it disintegrates. Lastly
Yanis explains why he is contesting from Germany in the 2019 European

EXCLUSIVE: The real cost of Brexit revealed - TruePublica

EXCLUSIVE: The real cost of Brexit revealed - TruePublica

 

 

By TruePublica editor: Many of the national newspapers have
recently reported that Theresa May’s Brexit deal will come at a
substantial cost to the economy. The Guardian reported, as many others
did a few days ago that – “Theresa May’s Brexit deal
is expected to cost the UK economy as much as £100bn over the next
decade compared with remaining in the EU, according to one of the
country’s leading economic thinktanks.” But this is not actually true.

 

The Guardian said – “An analysis of the prime minister’s EU withdrawal agreement from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research  (NIESR) suggested that by 2030, Britain would lose GDP growth equivalent to the annual economic output of Wales.”

The actual statement put out by the NIESR was – “Our assessment
is that trade with the EU, especially in services, will be more costly
after Brexit. This is likely to have an adverse effect on living
standards in the UK. Our central estimate is that if the government’s
proposed Brexit deal is implemented, then GDP in the longer term will be
around 4 per cent lower than it would have been had the UK stayed in
the EU. This is roughly equivalent to losing the annual output of Wales
or the output of the financial services industry in London. This is
equivalent to a loss of 3 per cent in GDP per head, worth around £1,000
per annum on average to people in the UK.”

Éloge des révolutions, par Serge Halimi (Le Monde diplomatique, mai 2009)

 

 « Être dans un camp » : ce type de polarisation sociale est fâcheux
quand il faudrait au contraire, surtout en temps de crise, se montrer
solidaire de son entreprise, de son patron, de sa marque — mais en
demeurant chacun à sa place. Car, aux yeux de ceux qui ne l’apprécient
guère, le tort principal de la révolution n’est pas la violence, un
phénomène tristement banal dans l’histoire, mais, chose infiniment plus
rare, le bouleversement de l’ordre social qui intervient à l’occasion
d’une guerre entre nantis et prolétaires.
