" Presented by Professor Paul churches as " an innovative form of communication "was an open forum for discussion of leftist politics is not present in the mainstream media.

The event, organized by The Developer Network (teachers), was held at the Faculty of Political Sciences and Sociology at the UCM. As political figures attended the Los Angeles Master (International Initiative), Enrique Santiago (Izquierda Unida), Esther Vivas (Anti-Capitalist Left), Guillermo Zapata (spokesman of El Patio Maravillas) and Xosé Manuel Beiras (BNG). For his part, Carlos Fernández Liria , Carolina Bescansa, Nacho School and Ramon Cota appeared as commentators.

The operation of the act was based on the format of the TV program after the approach to each topic by the presenter invited the figures are 59 seconds for his intervention. After politicians had the right to speak on principles commentators highest to lowest age in the first two blocks.

The first topic addressed the systemic crisis of capitalism and the alternatives on the left before it. The presenter introduced the issue stressing "payment levels outrageous arising from the crisis of the capitalist system . " This should result in increased mobilization of the radical left. " What are the difficulties of the left? "raised.

Xosé Manuel Beiras (BNG) was the first to break the ice. He said that "on the planet today there is a left social but not bridges between political and civil society ." While they are not reintroduced, " nothing to do ." Highlighted the transformation that is taking place in South America, the "center-periphery ." For its part, Ángeles Maestro (candidate in European Parliament elections by international initiatives at the time the debate was outlawed by the Supreme Court) considered that given the current situation " is time political alternatives." "Capitalism will not disappear but is buried."

Enrique Santiago (UI) specified that this is a problem of lack of tools where collectivism prevails individuality. "T e have much more to gain than to lose if they believe in social demands."

Esther Vivas (IA) mentioned the lack of political will of institutions that claim to be leftist and governments that privatize public authorities. He stressed the need to " another form of politics: in a street fight and social mobilization." Liria Fernández said "the word tradition immeasurable PSOE, IU, CCOO and UGT ."

Ramon Cota, professor of political science, said that since the last hundred years the political action requires a theory but there is none. " But there can be no theory practice." Given this approach Ignacio Escolar, the newspaper Público, not attributed to a "lack of proposals or communication channels " but " a lack of techniques to reach people ." It also highlighted the role of Internet in this process by example that the right is carrying out a project on the network.

Europe and competition in the European Parliament elections as the second theme area brought by the hand dealt, the outlawing of the International Initiative by the Supreme Court.

The unit is the only way out: call it democracy and it is not "

Carolina Bescansa, professor of political science, was a clear rejection of the Political Parties Law," hopefully see the repeal of this law "

Guillermo Zapata, representing the Patio Maravillas, explained his indifference to the European institutions and their incomprehension at the participation of their fellow diners " will not want to win. " Not that there is no will to win, but a radically anti voice must be heard in the institutions, disputed the teacher Liria. Esther Vivas (IA) suggested the presence in the institutions as a "sounding " to give voice to social movements. Also, Beiras saw the need for social movements to project its initiatives on the political parameters if you aspire to hegemony in the change.

The last of the topics discussed was the role of fragmentation of the left that was present throughout the debate. " What matters is which side of the trench is at the moment it hits the oppressed and workers " said Los Angeles Master. Liriano said that the enemy is very identified: capitalism and made a great impact on the struggle for Bologna. According to Enrique Santiago (IU) is the permanent disqualification that prevents the organization from the left.

The event was closed with a tribute to the late writer Mario Benedetti with the reading of his work Oh Peaked Peaked, what I did wrong. Public participation through Committee by the public, gave way to several questions, which is the model proposed having overthrown the capitalist system could not be answered in 59 seconds but left others, such as spontaneous musical intervention of an assistant under the letter " to organize anger, joy I planted. "

Social analysts worried about the democratic order, always difficult and unfinished, we are increasingly aware, and we are increasingly concerned "about the health of our public sphere. Among the various operators that manage, the media, the vast majority of politically conservative play a more severe in the English case, where reflection on the independence of the fourth estate that illuminated the modern West was limited
by our authoritarian past, which goes beyond the Franco regime.
closures and exclusions that the media operate in the public sphere at the base of the rightward of our ideological coordinates. With its ability to monopolize agendas in the last 30 years of English democracy have been exhausted with millions of pages of information and hours devoted to terrorism and nationalism, but we enjoyed walking and misinformation to think and discuss the quality of social policies on the limits of our intercultural coexistence (both immigrants and between different national sentiments peninsular), on anti-pluralist electoral system or economic model (with which it is impossible to face the current crisis). They are social movements, real advertisers' interests and actors society organized from below, the motor that energizes its opening, as they seek to veto anti-democratic opportunist behaviors.
An interesting recent case we have again had to Rosa Díez (UPyD deputy), who returned to try to start your journey election in the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Believed to have secured the show appropriate for an organization like yours opportunistic, this time, however, have given students an interesting lesson in democracy. Boo February 2008, manipulated the media, he served ten to gain a foothold in the public sphere and, obviously, to get a good election results in Madrid (appears almost as a foundational moment in his article in Wikipedia). Several teachers helped in its strategy of criminalization of protest, in press filoterroristas received qualifying as representatives of "red fascism" - and called for exemplary punishment tough on cutting potential "imitation effects." The key to their strategy: get the two-faced image of the victim of "violent" and heroin
freedom of expression.
Interestingly, the major allies of the "progressive" are Peter J. Díez F. Ramirez and Jimenez Losantos, which were Aznar articulating the neocon political project in Spain. It should be remembered that the ideological coordinates of our political culture, these men manage to be in Spain as a moderate political center managers weighted. While updated in key English, the constellation of values \u200b\u200bdisplayed by the national Catholicism, hegemonic sad for our contemporary history: a unit of Spain in danger against separatism, the crusading spirit of a supposedly Catholic majority always threatened by secularism challenges its monopoly on interpreting the meaning of English life (biological, social, cultural), the authoritarian violence the hard line against dissent, which has a tragic thread that connects inquisitorial bonfires, summary trials of the Civil War and the Franco regime and the ongoing stigmatization of dialogue as a mechanism to resolve the Basque conflict.

However, this time victimizing its opportunistic strategy was derailed by the radical student movement, which left her without her picture to view headlines, newscasts and talk shows, with a few seconds of boos and shoving among students, guard and police. Announced, however, a reverse "Concentration" English-Díez welcomed with slogans such as "Spain a great and free: President Rosa "Otegui me right, Basque is Spain," Spain again and not fifty and a "," more, more, more police, "" English yes, dialects do not "- which would
disguised as priests , civil guards to Tejero, posh ladies well and slicked.
At the same time invited to attend the event with style sunglasses Harder They Come, as a symbol of rejection of peaceful (and ironic) to the opportunistic strategy, as well as intelligent and uncomfortable questions during the conference. Students was enough to announce this UPyD backtracking and cancel the act, giving to discuss its agenda.

Obviously the problem is not freedom of expression. Our colleagues (most of them leftist past and now distance themselves from practices that used and justified in his youth) should recognize the merit of the students symbolic democratic control device rather than institutional. Many of these older teachers who "made the transition" show today democracy fail to see beyond the aggregate figures for the polls, audience studies and market surveys, forgetting that, for democracy is not merely a and cooling procedure has to take the radical critique the conflict.
This new generation of politicized students has been formed in the heat of the explosion of ICT and new forms of global protest movements were on the table political-media ten years ago in Seattle. They know better than anyone that it is necessary to prick the speculative bubble of the political spectacle.
