REPÚBLICA DA MOLDÁVIA - RES PUBLICA MOLDAVICA - REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

«As Moldova prepares (along with Georgia) to sign trade and cooperation agreements with the European Union by September, both countries face military and economic pressure from Russia to reverse course and instead join the Russian-led Customs Union that Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks to establish among states of the former Soviet Union.  In an interview March 3 at the Atlantic Council, Moldovan Prime Minister Iurie Leanca described how he plans to handle relations with Russia as his government pursues the policy that Moscow so vehemently opposes.» http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/component/tags/tag/411-moldova

The Latin country belonging to Romanian Nation is since long time ago over Russian pressure. Is time to join European Union by deep links!

UCRÂNIA IX - UCRAINA IX - UKRAINE IX

A quick and forced referendum with pressure of forces linked to Russia will not a free referendum, without control of Ukraine and before Ukrainian elections of May, with these options in March 16, 2014:

Option 1: «Do you support Crimea joining Russian Federation as a federal subject?»

Option 2: «Do you support restoration of 1992 Crimean Constitution and Crimea's status as a part of Ukraine?»

A shame for Russia leaders that create a deep distance with Ukraine that will be not goood for Russia in the long term ...

Manifesto adopted by the Party of European Socialists election congress 2014 - Rome  (http://www.pes.eu/sites/www.pes.org/files/pes_manifesto_-_adopted_by_the_pes_election_congress_en.pdf)

«Elena Valenciano at PES Congress»

«Tomorrow, 8 March 2014, we celebrate International Women’s Day.

On this occasion, PES Vice-President Elena Valenciano has denounced that "within the EU borders, a very high number of women are raped, beaten, murdered and subjected to psychological torture. Combating violence against women will be one of the key issues of this campaign for the European elections as it is one of the worst problems of European society.”

The defence of women’s freedom, especially the fight for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is another priority for PSOE leading candidate to European Parliament, Valenciano. “While we celebrate International Women’s Day, Spanish women are not yet ready to rejoice. The Conservative Government in Spain wants to take us back over 30 years by reforming the abortion law - taking away women’s agency, freedom and dignity.

The head of the Spanish Conservative Government, Mariano Rajoy, has been meeting today with other right-wing leaders at the European People’s Party Congress in Dublin. “While the PES has committed to make women’s rights a central part of its European election campaign, no such signal has been forthcoming from the EPP.” Added Valenciano.

“Even though Europe is leading in gender equality, we are still too far from where we should be.” Says Zita Gurmai, PES Women President. “It’s incredibly frustrating when European Conservative Governments turn back the clock and strip away rights that women have gained over the years, as they have in Spain. On International Women’s Day we need to offer women everywhere our solidarity and defend their right to choose.”

Women play a central role in the PES European election campaign in 2014. At our Election Congress in Rome on 27 February PES Women organized a successful Flash Mob to highlight the fight for women’s economic rights, and PES common candidate Martin Schulz addressed the PES Women Annual Conference and pledged his strong support.

PES President Sergei Stanishev promised the backing of the whole party for the campaign to defend SRHR, “Women’s rights are human rights, and the PES defends them fiercely.  Our party members stand side by side in this campaign against outdated Conservative values.”» http://pes.eu/en/news/pes-insists-women-s-right-choose-eve-international-women-s-day

«HYPATIA» Elbert Hubbard, 1908


Month of Mars (March) 8,  415 years after Christ, a philosopher, mathematical, astronomer woman named HYPATIA was victim of tyranny, ignorance and fanaticism in her city Alexandria!

Because the brutality and discrimination of some men over women without respect for them sacred Liberty, Humanity needs celebrate an International Women´s Day until the moment that humankind transcend the actual primitive stage of the difficult Evolution, after the Creation ...

The roots are in a women strike at Saint Petersburg in March 8, 1917, Russia, demanding «Bread and Peace», the end of the stupid and horrible the first World War begun in 1914. That strike influenced spontaneously revolution until March 12 that implicate the fall of Russian monarchy and the rise of Russian Republic until the tyranny of  the Bolsheviks since October of the same year.

«A demonstration of workers from the Putilov plant (...) in St. Peterburg, Russia, during the (...) Revolution. The left banner reads (...) "Feed the children of the defenders of the motherland"; the right banner, "Increase payments to the soldiers' families - defenders of freedom and world peace".» (Wikipedia)

CARGA FISCAL III - TRIBUTUM ONERIBUS III - FISCAL BURDEN III

Portugal had years of fiscal relax, after the formal integration in European Economic Community (EEC) in 1996, after another International Monetary Funf (IMF) between 1983 and 1985, with favorable winds and under the opportunistic government leaded by the fiscalist along ten years, the principal responsable: named Aníbal Cavaco Silva (PSD), actual President of Republic, created structural and not sustentable public expenses with absolute majority in Parliament, a problem without a begining to implement solutions under Troika intervention!

After in a Government leaded by Socialist Party, but with a strong influence of a former member of Communist Party with the control of Economy and Finances, named Pina de Moura, was created a statal monster named «Lei Geral Tributária» («General Fiscal Law») in the end of 1998, with 34 versions until the end of 2013: the fall of the high fiscal relax and the rise of the high fiscal stress, as usual in Portugal a high level of political bipolarity over Families and Companies, over the Creation of Value!

The concept (to much power gave to fiscal authority with inversion of the onus of prof) and the praxis of the Law are a disaster: with the leading of a person belonging to bank, Paulo Macedo, paid with a lot of money from General Government Budget (350.000 € / year), from taxes and debt between 2004 and 2007, was implemented a monstruous system with banking «best pratics» that created an horrible linkage between State and Banks with a high level of penalties (a fiscal execution system):
- bank accounts integral blocked (like a car in a city) with a «debt» (many times without support of real revenues for taxation) lower than the total of positive balance;
- other blinded pratics of pawn always by informatic systems in colision with the rights of Families and Companies
- State turned a stakeholder much more no enabler of solving process than banks in the worst scenario of crisis!

If a Family, a Person, a Company request the right of pay a debt by installments because don´t have capacity to pay all in the moment, State request a bank guaranty that many times Families, Persons or Companies can´t have!!!

About this kind of fiscal "tyranny" the Constitutional Court and the Parliament don´t do nothing ... Families and Companies can´t use a slow and expensive justice against State that in the mean time have the money or other assets in the bad side!

This situation must change soon as possible, as a vicioous circle, an incredible driver of impoverishment and value destruction!

TYRANNUS, an illegitimate ruler: «(...) in conformity with the analyses offered by Plato and Aristotle, the tyrant is defined as one who (1) rules without law, (2) looks to his own advantage rather than that of his subjects, and (3) uses extreme and cruel tactics-against his own people as well as others» Betty Glad "Why Tyrants Go Too Far: Malignant Narcissism and Absolute Power".

«Now if this sounds familiar, it’s what Hitler did back in the 30s, (...) All the Germans that were ... the ethnic Germans, the Germans by ancestry who were in places like Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places, Hitler kept saying they’re not being treated right. I must go and protect my people and that’s what’s gotten everybody so nervous.» Hillary Clinton (http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/general-news/20140304/hillary-clinton-compares-vladimir-putins-actions-in-ukraine-to-adolf-hitlers-in-nazi-germany?)

«When he looks at Ukraine, he sees a place that he believes is by its very nature part of Mother Russia. (...) who believes his mission is to restore Russian greatness»
«So everybody is hoping that there will be a negotiation but a negotiation that respects Ukraine and doesn’t ratify a reoccupation by Russia of Crimea,” she said. “So it’s a real nail-biter, right now, but nobody wants to up the rhetoric. Everybody wants to cool it in order to find a diplomatic solution and that’s what we should be trying to do.»
Hillary Clinton (http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/general-news/20140304/hillary-clinton-compares-vladimir-putins-actions-in-ukraine-to-adolf-hitlers-in-nazi-germany?)

«What I said (...) is that the claims by President Putin and other Russians that they had to go into the Crimea and maybe further into Eastern Ukraine because they had to protect the Russian minorities, that is reminiscent of claims that were made back in the 1930s when Germany under the Nazis kept talking about how they had to protect German minorities in Poland, Czechoslovakia and elsewhere (...)


I just want everybody to have a little historic perspective. I’m not making a comparison, certainly, but I am recommending that we perhaps can learn from this tactic that has been used before.» Hilary Clinton (http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/article/20140305/NEWS/140309770?source=jBarPopUp)

SOLIDARIEDADE - SOLIDARIETATIS - SOLIDARITY

 

After II World War of XX century Portugal received 5.000 Austrian children. Now receive Syrians students by an iniciative of former President of Portuguese Republic Jorge Sampaio for prepare a peaceful future to Syria.

Israa Alkahwaji: «É claro que estar em Portugal é muito bom, para que possa terminar os meus estudos. É esse o meu sonho. Quero mesmo completar os estudos e voltar mais forte para o meu país e ajudar a reconstruir a Síria (...) Estou excitada sobre tudo. Li muito sobre Portugal através de internet».
Hafez Alwakli: «(...) estudantes sírios que vêm para Portugal reúnem a esperança de ter uma boa estada, o que significa estudar muito e acabar os estudos (...) O mais importante é continuar a estudar. A guerra fez-nos parar de estudar e foi uma grande contrariedade para nós. Mas não podemos parar de estudar. Por isso, estar em Portugal é uma nova porta para um novo mundo (...) Apreciei logo, não só por Portugal ser o país que é, com um povo fantástico e muitas outras coisas, mas também porque eu quero formar-me e seguir a vida (...) para poder ajudar de alguma maneira a que o país seja outro.»

«Relaunching Europe is heading to Coimbra, Portugal for a lively and open debate on the fight against unemployment and how to help people back on the road to work.

(...)

Today, 26 million Europeans are without a job, while millions of others work for a meagre salary. Young people are not spared: one in four young Europeans is currently unemployed. In Portugal, 36% of young people struggle to find a decent job, with many leaving the country in search for better opportunities abroad.
The blind austerity imposed by the conservative Troika has an overwhelming responsibility in this disaster and it is time now to bring about change and solidarity in Europe.
So how do we go from there? Is education the only response? Are we doing enough to support entrepreneurs and citizens with ideas? What will it take to create more jobs?…
The floor is yours! Everybody is welcome to this free event. For organisational purposes, we just kindly ask that you register to the event.»


«Together, we have the choice. Together, we can change Europe and offer 500 million European citizens a new direction. We want a different Europe: fairer, socially balanced and democratic.
Don’t settle for the way Europe is run now, falling apart and a far cry from the values it was originally founded on.
It’s your choice. In May 2014, there will be elections to a new European Parliament and the outcome of the Parliamentary elections will determine who leads the new Commission.
Europe does not work - we have to get it back on track. The global crisis has not only led to failing banks. Even states themselves have suffered the fallout of the banking crisis, leading to thousands of people losing their jobs and savings. The European Commission has imposed austerity with such rigour that we see massive protests in the streets, especially in southern Europe, and the younger generation has been hit most cruelly by the crisis.

Youth unemployment has reached a level no one would have believed just a few years ago.»
