Debate "Left to the left of the PSOE"

Under the program format adaptation of '59 seconds' of TVE was held on May 20, the debate "L to left to the left of the PSOE . " 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. Los Angeles Master said "l as ideas and the fight is not outlawed. If a value is to show the limits of this democracy will not tolerate a warning. 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.

another year, the accounts of the Transition to occupy the institutional circuits of cultural diffusion is articulated on an axis as elitist and self-referential and contradictory, on a string of contradictions that only base of tiresome repetition and convenient silences has finally become worthy of credit in speech and creed.
So insistent and monotonous, the official rapporteurs Transition enthusiasm aged weave a seamless story, in which a English village, brave and wise in equal parts, becomes emancipated star of his destiny through the delivery of political will to moderate and centrist-to the great drivers of a transition that, for peaceful, its capacity for reconciliation and modernization, was so exemplary as to pretend to be emulated in the world, first by the Sisters of Latin America and the Eastern Europe later.
few days ago were held in the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology at the Universidad Complutense few days of reflection on the English transition under the same title that heads this article. Many people, from different perspectives and experiences, shared their experiences and reflections on the dictatorship and the transition of the ideas here are debtors. It should begin by highlighting a common place in all discussions: the understanding that, at some point in that process, they stole the story, stayed with her and left us all deprived of the necessary tools to understand our identity and democratic disputes. The alleged virtues
Transition represent an unquestioned element of the social sciences developed in our country, especially in political science and historiography. However, there remains the challenge of thinking critically uncomfortable many dimensions of our social and political, linked to these settlement agreements that gave up demolishing the bulk of the Franco heritage. For space reasons, we do not address institutional matters here more or less traveled recently in the public and certainly central to the conservative straitjacket designed in Transition (electoral system, monarchy, national issues, closure of the right to truth, reparation and justice), to address other key issues in maintaining their social hegemony.
To date, a quick look at the situation of public education in Spain reveals a string of anomalies difficult to understand democracy. A third of children and youth in Spain studying in private schools or arranged. 70% of these schools are Catholic. In 2003, the concerted or private Catholic schools received state funding of about EUR 2,700 million, excluding the budget to fund the teaching of the subject of religion in public schools. Can you understand this reality without reference to the Concordat, without analyzing who signed those agreements and who have sustained? Do we know that public funds transferred to this religious institution is approximately equivalent to those required to implement the public kindergarten? What happened to the Catholic Church when Franco died? Where, for example, left the chain Cope?
social spending in Spain has now reached 19% of GDP. Located 10 points below the European average and 20 points behind Sweden. In this field Professor Vicente Navarro explains how transparency wrenching social class now weighs the average life expectancy: the five layers that separate the high financial bourgeoisie and unskilled workers have experienced unemployment, ten years apart. How can this be happening in a country that has been governed by a center-left course for 18 of the last 26 years? Why, for example, oral health is not included in Social Security? Is it possible to explain this social deficit without denouncing the role played by unions hegemonic? When and how did some major unions and others not? What was signed in the Moncloa Pacts?
The absence of government intervention deepening of the democracy in the field of industry cultural media and color cathode lit our leap of premodern postmodernism. They are still continually evaluate and drills in many cultural arenas (universities, research, cultural policies, media empires ....) The display of cultural modernization in the move served multiple purposes of disorientation and legitimacy, but the party had dire consequences: in addition to the lost generation of heroin in the eighties, today we are the country in the world with the highest rate of consumption cocaine and other leading positions in consumer and addiction. When did this start? Are we aware how to weight in our culture civic life of the show dressed to party? How do our institutions work to achieve critical culture that requires the democratic life?
As time passes, they accumulate the unanswered questions about our ever-present history. We can continue as before: we write the questions in a notebook, we keep in the bottom drawer and return to call the pilots of the Transition to tell us the story of democratic landing. Or we can take another step forward, to subvert the orders of our history and his speeches and begin to understand where we are and how we got here. Are opening roads: inundémoslos with old and new stories and deal once fighting performances.
