- "Take your hands off our waters," protested some 350 activists resource as a common good, by occupying the plant of Coca Cola in Tabatinga, satellite city of the Brazilian capital, hosting the eighth in the early hours of Thursday 22 World Water Forum (WWF-8).

Then, thousands of them marched through some streets of Brasilia, chanting against the privatization of water resources by large companies, the "illegitimate" FMA-8, which hosts Brasilia between Sunday 18 and Friday 23, for treating water as merchandise, and against the current Brazilian government.

Participants, more than 3,000 registered, gathered from 17 and Thursday 22 in a pavilion of the Park City at the  Alternative World Water Forum  (FAME), which mainly discussed the damage caused by large companies such as pollution agricultural and appropriation of the sources of the resource to the detriment of the population

On World Water Day, Thursday 22 and in earlier days, women staged protests against companies whose water use affects the population, such as transnational Nestlé.

The company had occupied for a few hours its plant in São Lourenço, known for its mineral waters Brazilian southeastern city, and the same happened with Suzano Celulose, whose eucalyptus plantations are targeted as a cause of water shortage in Imperatriz, in-central Brazil.

The parallel forum FMA-8 brought together participants from 34 nationalities, according to its organizers, and a great social and ethnic diversity.

Odair Manoki, indigenous northwestern state of Mato Grosso, came to denounce the threats facing Cravari rivers and Sangue, where the government is studying the construction of hydroelectric plants, after its waters are already contaminated by agrochemicals used without control the farmers.

Pollution directly affects its group of 600 people, because it occurs upstream, with soybean expansion. Mato Grosso, in midwestern Brazil in the southeastern foothills of the Amazon, is from the beginning of this century the state that produces more soybeans in Brazil, as well as big producer of corn and cotton by large-scale monocultures.

"The impact more sense for now are agrochemicals, since the plants are still only plans, but also suffer the effects of illegal logging," Manoki told IPS.

Manoki village, whose name surname become its members, and has an Indigenous Land (reserved territory, shelter), but fighting for a second that is already approved, but lack the presidential approval.

"Artisanal fishermen are the people most affected by major projects and economic activities that use a lot of water," said Celeste de Souza, who traveled two and half days by bus to participate in FAMA along with 10 other colleagues from Delta Paranaiba in the state of Piauí, in the northeast of the country.

The Paranaiba is one of the few perennial rivers in the ecoregion Northeast, which do not dry during the long and severe drought in the area.

Traditional agriculture, mining, pulp and other industries, ports and bridges, many businesses that alter water conditions, obliterating preventing fish or fishing, where fishermen access always worked.

"We depend on all invade a territory", complained to IPS this woman of 62 years and fishing since childhood, when "accompanied my mother." Now coordinates the Movement of Fishermen in Piauí, which advocates the creation of the Territories Fisheries, for that protection allows the survival of an activity in decline across the country.

Your people still do not have the right to reserve land, as occurs with quilombolas, descendants of African slaves who live in communities created by their ancestors to escape from slavery.

"Where water is produced live, not spend but we protect, preserve," said Oriel Rodrigues, a lawyer for the National Coordinating Committee of Quilombo Rural Black Communities.

"We were invisible until 1988" when the Constitution recognized their territorial rights, Rodrigues, a stranger in college, where people of African descent did not study when he was young, much less law, as did he recalled.

The testimonies of foreign participants brought to the knowledge of those attending the FAMA some emblematic cases of the struggle for water as indigenous mobilization that stopped in 2000 the privatization of water in the Bolivian department of Cochabamba, in the "water war" .

remote cases, like the Palestinians, subject to shortages and "68 percent having to drink contaminated water" and private African water almost absolute, were counted almost always from the point of conflict with big business , hoarders of natural resources.

"Water as a right, a common good that should be under the sovereignty of the people, never a commodity", is the focus of FAMA, he stressed one of its organizers, Jackson Dias, member of the coordination of the  Movement of People Affected by dams  (MAB).

"Large companies are trying to privatize rivers, aquifers, lakes. Dams are a form of privatization and private appropriation of natural resources always generates conflicts. On one hand large corporations, otherwise I put those affected, "said IPS.

The indigenous Odair Manoki came from the Amazon western Brazil to the capital to denounce the Alternative World Water Forum that his people are victims of pollution of rivers by intensive agriculture and dams to build hydroelectric plants that alter watercourses. Credit: Mario Osava / IPS

Days was born and lives in Altamira, a city in the eastern Amazon who lives a raucous decade controversies and disputes due to the damming of the bordering river Xingu, construction of the hydroelectric plant of Belo Monte, the world's largest capacity third one.

Dias said Altamira became the city with the highest relative amount of homicides and a high deterioration despite large investments of the company in environmental and social compensation.

FAMA was organized by social movements, such as MAB and the Landless Workers' Movement, and unions such as the Central Workers Union and the National Federation of Urban Public Servants.

FAMA organizers, as opposed to the official FMA-8, organized by the World Water Council, in partnership with the Brazilian government, believe that their vision is irreconcilable with what they define as "the other side".

In his view, in the official forum an exhibition and an exhibition make clear that their goal is to do business, sell technology and business solutions.

Water as a commodity, "source of profit and no source of life" for social movements is what is sought in the triennial editions of the World Water Forum, which will have its ninth meeting in Senegal in 2021.

However, the official slogan adopted by the FMA-8 Brasilia, is "sharing water" and its sessions with the need to advance concrete projects in sustainability and corporate responsibility with the vital natural resource is emphasized

But the antagonism between social movements and companies in the water issue as feed accidents as happened this year with the release of chemical wastes in the rivers of Barcarena, in northern Brazil, for the Norwegian company Hydro Aluminum producer.

Another World Social Forum is possible, necessary

Aram Aharonian  -  Rebellion

After 17 years it would be time to review the charter of principles, adapt to today's world, with a list of agreed issues, such as climate change, wars, weapons, Speculator Finanza ... It is time that the WSF again be a impinges actor in the world.

Another world is possible: that was the trigger that love to those who fought against injustice and destruction of the planet and the World Social Forum became since 2001 and for several years a meeting of social movements opposing globalization neoliberal and was established as an alternative to the guidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos voice. 

To influence those common values, to change the collective imagination over reality, he always needed to organize and have clear goals. 

But while horizontality and transparency is recited, there was always the temptation to become a franchise, deployed worldwide (and not just for the developing world), without clear common goals to overcome the temptation of eventismo .

Within the progressivism, there are colleagues who resist criticism of the reality of the WSF, perhaps because something that is genuinely defend their own history and criticism seems inconvenient for this time of so many frailties. There are some who say the permanent self-criticism is not always successful (which is the same as saying that sometimes it is).

Many have taken positions near the maxim that "a fortress under siege, criticism is betrayal" (all out for discussion are the principles), others are afraid of losing their sponsors. 

What should leave a debate it is the definition of what strategy to follow: continue within the WSF to introduce these debates as necessary, build another tool and in both cases, with whom. 

And besides, we live in full neocolonial offensive.

The principles

From several regions it is reported that the Brazilian committee never wanted to leave power in an abstract model anarchic perhaps based on the vision of Brazilian Catholic community base, without any relation to reality. 

And the International Committee of personalities, followed handled by small groups and figures beyond the alterglobalism, representing NGOs (some paid), each with lines and such specific purposes as their own, and often just themselves .

After 17 years it would be time to review the charter of principles, adapt to today's world, with a list of agreed issues and which surely all agree, such as climate change, wars, weapons, speculative finance, migration. And it's time that the WSF again become an actor that affects the world.

Or is there someone who is against an unequivocal statement against war, against the destruction of the planet or against the enormous inequality that eight people have the same wealth as 2.3 billion people?

It does not seem normal for this FSM Salvador does not have the issue of climate change as a major axis, deeply felt by civil society. It seems that the issues are channeled by European and US NGOs interested in issues that are not urgent for our societies, but they have funding for your organization.

Upstairs in the structure of the WSF is the figure of Brazilian architect Francisco  Chico  Whitaker, short of horizontality since receiving the alternative Nobel Prize when the Forum was a reference point for those who wanted to change the world, faced with the few intellectuals shaft that They got the debate on the need for another possible, necessary, indispensable world.

The verse of horizontality is constantly contradicted by authoritarianism and manipulation from power structures (WSF), more enthusiastic in organizing events (everything is possible, there is no continuity or follow up on issues and debates) between convinced that giving the fight for the anticapitalist critical thinking.

When political movements began to approach the Forum, did his best to keep them away, with the excuse to avoid contamination. 

And our progressive presidents were not welcome. 

Not even their experiences, their doubts, their proposals, was used to discuss them. Moreover, the Brazilian group prevented the International Committee issued a statement against the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, which led to the coup-media-police-state business court. ¿Nor it defends democracy?

In the first forums, for example, the panel was organized on Utopia, with José Saramago, Eduardo Galeano, Federico Mayor and 60,000 participants, showed the need for debate, the battle of ideas in the cultural war against capitalism and neocolonial forces. 

neither they are already Galeano or Saramago and went without them he could get juice: there was not even a summary of the debate to socialize. Was there no interest?

Understand that horizontality and organization are not two opposing values. WSF organizers issued a document advocating that has hundreds of panels, and note that seek to integrate it is against horizontality. Undoubtedly, all these panels are evidence of the richness of the debate, and fragmentation: everyone knows your panel, but not being debated in other panels on the same subject ... and even less about other topics.

Personalities who gave life and prestige to the WSF today agree that it is in a deep crisis, as indicated by the figures and the lack of impact and enthusiasm, and insist on the need to give way to an always inclusive and transparent horizontality, but accepting that a minimum of organization and structure is necessary.

L to  endog to me to

The verse of horizontality collides with the need for information and communication (and thus has also been at the International Committee believed that was the job of journalists). Since the beginning of the process was stressed (from the alternative media) on the need for tools to share with those who came were created, because sharing is a collective and individual who want and fight for a different world responsibility.

And the WSF was staying with Inbred initiatives: each Forum did not get anything from the experiences to the world. 

Simple rules would agree to respect the organizers of panels: appoint a rapporteur to deliver the end of the panel discussion and a summary of its findings so they can be shared. Today electronic media make possible what was unthinkable 17 years ago.

Would be useful for those who are not (in the panel) can reflect and share, which has nothing to do with the vaunted horizontality, but l inescapable need to coordinate struggles. The design of the WSF is facilitator of fragmentation that each panel believes that the most important thing is your fight and not giving rise to it, the need to invent a different, fair, equitable world peace, of respect nature.

The design is for each group to coordinate with itself, an attack on the same philosophy of the WSF. As Galeano said in the seventies, while some make the revolution, Brigitte Bardot struggle in defense of blue whales ...

In more than three decades, the WSF ran dangers such as routinization, the NGO-ization, cooptation, bureaucratization, lack of participation of real movement, dispersion, infiltration, copamiento. This reality is confirmed. 

Amid the systemic crisis of capitalism, with a climatic, political, social, migratory, unprecedented food crisis, it is still committed to the vaunted horizontality that only benefits the single thought and inflexibility.

We are at the door of the effect of new technologies on the (over) life of workers and the economy, as well as false news ( fake news ), the posverdad and artificial intelligence, which calls for one new agenda, but managed from the south. All this and there was talk in 2001 in Porto Alegre ... Six years after the start, in 2007, in Belem do Pará the first collective exhibition of rejection was the crisis of capitalism and the need for a break with it.

Today growing debate behind closed doors between movementist "pure" (allies today one European social democracy and the Catholic Church) and social and political activists about the future of the WSF, on the relationship between anti-capitalist political parties and movements, links with governments progressive in the region.

Obviously, the WSF has lost weight and influence, perhaps because those social movements that led to our reformist government presidents, disappeared from the streets, because they too were co-opted (and bureaucratized) for tasks of government and demobilized movements.

Today many former altermundistas seek forums on topics of interest to American and European NGOs and fleeing pressing for the future of their own people, perhaps to keep the gym forista issues. 

We saw not long ago at the WTO meeting in Buenos Aires, where invisibilized the fight against the FTA between Mercosur and the European Union, among others.

Another World Social Forum is possible and necessary: ​​it only guarantees eventismo, the imposition of organizers of a franchise that follows the agendas of European and American NGOs, fragmentation, abandoning the battle of ideas, contempt and use of social and the ability to search and discuss, together, space and ways to continue the fight in other difficult circumstances, far more difficult than 17 years ago organizations.

This is not to destroy anything, but to transform it again excites social activists, to end the stagnation. The challenge is knowing where to walk, to walk with . We can not stand the only truth: the debate is always enriching for everyone. Today there is no way but said Antonio Machado (who knew nothing but fighting forums): Hiker your footsteps are the road and nothing else / Wanderer, there is no path,  paths are made by walking.

There are 24 countries facing a debt crisis in the making, and there are 14 more rapidly headed in the same direction

Thursday, November 9, 2018 In recent weeks the world has been focused on the economic and social crisis in Greece, but the truth is that Greece represents only a small fraction of a large bomb global debt that threatens to explode at any moment. Currently, there are 24 countries facing a debt crisis in the making , and there are 14 more rapidly heading in the same direction. At this time, the debt-GDP ratio for the whole planet is 286%, and worldwide there are about 200 trillion dollars of debt in the books of accounts. That becomes about $ 28,000 of debt for every man, woman and child on the planet.

And since nearly half of the world's population lives on less than $ 10 a day, there is no way all this debt can never be paid. 

The only "solution" to the problem found our "great political and economic leaders" is to continue to accumulate debt and more debt to go making immediate payments. 


According to a new report by the Jubilee Debt Campaign, there are now 24 countries around the world face a debt crisis in the making 

Armenia 

Belize 

Costa Rica 

Croatia 

Cyprus 

Dominican Republic 

El Salvador 

Gambia 

Greece 

Grenada 

Ireland 

Jamaica 

Lebanon 

Macedonia

Marshall Islands 

Montenegro 

Portugal 

Spain 

Sri Lanka 

St. Vincent and the Grenadines 

Tunisia 

Ukraine 

Sudan 

Zimbabwe 

And there are 14 other nations that are right on the edge of this crisis ... 

Bhutan 

Cape Verde 

Dominica 

Ethiopia 

Ghana 

Laos 

Mauritania 

Mongolia 

Mozambique 

Samoa 

Sao Tome and Principe 

Senegal 

Tanzania 

Uganda 

What It should do about it ? 

Are the "rich" countries should rescue all indebted?

Well, the truth is that many of the "rich" countries are the worst offenders, with the largest of all debt. Just consider the United States. The US national debt has more than doubled since 2007, and at this point has become so great that it is mathematically impossible to pay. Europe is in a similar situation. Members of the eurozone are trying to cobble together a "rescue package" for Greece, but the truth is that most of them will soon need bailouts as well. Debt has soared since 2012. The debt of Spain regarding its GDP has increased from 69% to 98%. Of Italy it rose from 116% to 132% and France has risen from 85% to 95%.







In addition to Spain, Italy and France, do not forget to Belgium (106% of debt to GDP), Ireland (109%) and Portugal (130%). 

Once the dominoes start to fall, the consequences for the global financial system massively leveraged, will be absolutely catastrophic ... 

Spain has more than 1 trillion dollars in outstanding and Italy has 2.6 trillion debt. These bonds support tens of millions of dollars in derivative transactions valued in euros. A debt would trigger a systemic failure in Europe.

EU banks as a whole are leveraged at 26-to-1. At these levels of leverage, even a 4% drop in asset prices erases all your capital. And any haircut of Greek, Spanish, Italian and French debt would be much more than 4%. 

In Asia, things are really bad too. 

According to Bloomberg, debt levels in China have risen to record levels before ... 

"While the economic expansion of China exceeded analyst forecasts in the second quarter, the levels of the country 's debt increased at an even faster rate .

Outstanding loans to businesses and households stood at a record 207% of gross domestic product by the end of June, compared with 125% percent in 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg " 

And remember that even the debt is included of the government. When we consider all forms of debt, the total debt to GDP of China is about 300%. 

In Japan, things are even worse. Public debt to GDP in Japan are now at a staggering 230%. It has become so high that it is hard to believe that could be true. At some point there will be an implosion in Japan that will surprise the world. 

Of course the same could be said of the entire planet and everyone knows this is not going to end well.

"No major nation in the West can pay its debts. The same can apply to Japan and most emerging markets. Europe is a failed experiment, China is a massive bubble in terms of their stock markets, real estate markets and the banking system in the shade. Japan is also a hopeless case and the US It is the most indebted country in the world and has lived beyond their means for more than 50 years. 

So let's see bend those 200 trillion of debt and implosionarán 1500 trillion derivatives.

That would lead to the destruction of greatest wealth of history and bonds and property markets fall, at least between 75% and 95%. World trade will shrink dramatically and also we will see massive hardship around the world. " 

Hopefully Egon von Greyerz predictions are exaggerated and that nothing warning is met, but the truth and indisputable is that the overall debt of all countries of the world, is absolutely priceless and is out of control. 

Perhaps, Greece, is not just a tiny taste of what awaits us all ...

EUROPE AT THE TIME OF DETACHMENT

By Guadi Calvo.

After World War II, the "free" Europe understood that its destiny was to perish in a short time under the wheels of the victorious Soviet locomotive, to become a bunch of nations without destiny, which would end up crushing as it had done in the two great wars of the twentieth century or join their fate to the policies marked by Washington, to create a common European market and not only in the commercial, but also in the military. 

The urgency for the Cold War forced NATO to crystallize in 1949, while the European Economic Community (EEC) predecessor of the European Union (EU) took shape in 1958.

The Second War had forced the European colonial powers to rid their possessions of their own fate, at least for a time, so that many particularly African and Southeast Asian nations found themselves with political independence for which they were not prepared after of almost two centuries of plunder, plunder and genocide to which they were subjected with particular perversion by the United Kingdom, France and Belgium. 

Although, the metropolis continued to serve until today of its endless deposits of raw materials like petroleum, uranium, gold, precious stones, cobalt, coltan and a very long and bloody etcetera.

Europe was also present when it was time to arm tribal armies to march against other tribal armies to solve thousands of ethnic and territorial disputes that the European presence of almost two centuries in the continent only exacerbated. Perhaps recalling the million Tutsideaths  at the hands of  Hutus , which occurred in only three months of the "distant" 1994 that left the Rwandan dispute encouraged by Paris and Brussels exempts us from further explanations.

Although they want to talk about genocide by naming the Belgian king Leopoldo II with many, many more than 10 million dead in their Free State of the Congo at the hands of their foremen and in the name of the right of free enterprise that took place between 1885 and 1906 Would it reach? Although, if not, there are many more genocides and many more in time to remember in the hands of the sacrosanct European rights.

Europe and the United States supplied Iraq with Saddam Hussein's armaments to wage a war against the Ayatollah's Iran, which claimed a million deaths after eight years of war (1980-1988). What is called a bicoca.

The "free" Europe ally of the United States  to humiliation followed Washington's economic, political and military orders always and without too much trouble. 

Even being able to handle the crisis caused by the fall of the Soviet bloc and all its consequences, such as the absorption of many countries that had been Moscow allies and members of the  Treaty of Amity, Partnership and Mutual Assistance (Warsaw Pact), the socialist NATO, signed in the Polish capital in 1955.

Even the wars after the dissolution of Yugoslavia, which would provoke the carnage of the Balkans, which left very few, but very poorly,  left 150,000 dead and four million displaced under the atrocious western gaze that with some delight saw millions of ex-communists returning at the time of the caves.

If not, the Dutch Blue Helmets  of the UN Protection Force(Unprofor), which in 1995 allowed more than 9,000 Bosnian Muslims to be killed in  Srebrenica in present-day Bosnia , after torture,  Führer , by the  Serbian troops of Ratko Karadzic,  without being moved by a hair.

Europe by  allowing the massacres of the 1990s in  Somalia, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan to be singled out, was demoted to the measure of its senior partner, the  United States,  whom it accompanied under  George Bush, Sr., against his former ally, friend and client  Saddam Hussein  in the first war in Iraq in 1991.

Since then,  more and more "free" Europe has been following with more attachment the policies marked more than by Washington and  Wall Street  by the Pentagon. 

Becoming accomplices of each of the massacres that from that branch of hell has been arranged against innumerable peoples whose only sin has been to exist on a deposit of resources necessary to the laws of the market.

Europe was no stranger or  the invasion  of  Afghanistan in 2001 , or  the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , managed by the macabre trio of  Azores (Bush (H) Blair and Aznar) whose consequences until today the world is still paying.

The last great European barbarism with which he has put his head in the loop has been the  "Arab Spring"  which in 2011 declares a war of destruction against advanced nations like  Libya and Syria, causing in addition a countless number of dead and displaced. 

The demolition of these two nations, the creation of the Islamic State and countless other wars and riots that continue to cause thousands of deaths among them the war in  Yemen  and making unmanageable large regions of Nigeria, Mali, the Sahel in general, Pakistan, Afghanistan and ended up leading the terrorist wave of false Muslim claims to countries as far away as the  Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia  and a flood of attacks throughout Europe, which only stops to take more momentum.

Between shutting up or escaping

The European persistence of clinging to its mistakes, fundamentally to follow North American policies closely, is what today the Catalan people are trying to separate themselves from an increasingly anemic Spain, managed by a tyrant called Mariano Rajoy, who In spite of its meter ninety, it is much to reach the 163 centimeters of Francisco Franco, to whom this would never have happened to him what happens today.

The luck that today plays in Catalonia  and beyond any result is set and in it also the destiny of Europe is figured.

Although Rajoy's moral dwarf gets away with it and leaves more dead and injured in the streets of Barcelona than the terrorist attack of August, sooner or later the Catalans will get away with it, and the question then is: when the Basques ? And if that happens, how much more will a "Great and Free" Spain survive?

The United Kingdom, despite its  Brexit  that shook the world in 2016,  the independence breath of Scotland  does not seem to have waned and the intentions of a new referendum to achieve its independence is already on the march again. 

London tries to close every exit , but now the world is also attentive to the issue.

Although the complex problem of separatism is not a novelty in Europe, countries such as France or Italy also have questions in that direction, more and more and more and new voices of extreme right-wing populist nationalism emerged that shamelessly declared themselves anti-European and anti-immigrant, in almost all countries belonging to the EU sharing the Schengen area (where anyone who has regularly entered a European external border or who resides in one of the countries applying the Convention signed in 1985) freely circulates.

After the major refugee crises as a result of the war policies pursued by the United States and Europe that have taken place since 2014, the fascist remnants that never died on the continent have sprung up.

The desperate arrival of waves and waves of refugees , coupled with the series of terrorist attacks that since January 2015 have generated only a couple of hundred dead, absolutely nothing compared to what can happen at the same time in  Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Nigeria Mali, Afghanistan or Pakistan, added to the economic crisis by neo-liberal policies,  have all the alarms of the European far right have been ignited, confirmed that of Brecht's frightened bourgeois.

The arrival of ninety parliamentarians neonazi  Alternative for Germany (AFD) to  Bundestag  has raised countless resentments inside and outside  Germany  in the European political and business environment, as  if the policies of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank,  among other organizations " public good ", had nothing to do with this reality.

If someone toured the European map like that ghost in the mid-nineteenth century, it would be found that dozens of organizations similar to the German AfD have multiplied in the last five years, in which unemployment and the economic crisis try to be excused by the arrival of immigrants expelled from their countries by the United States' own war policies and its NATO partners.

That the French ultra-right came second after the unexpected victory of Emanuel Macron'sneoliberalism  ,  is nothing more than the omen that the heirs of the Le Pen National Front, with another name and other faces, if necessary, will return dangerously close to the Elysium. Taking into account the political breakdown of Macron after the implementation of neo liberal packages that include labor flexibility.

The ultra right-wing Nazi is no longer a promise in Hungary or Poland,  but a reality that rules by bothering the well-behaved gentlemen of Brussels, EU headquarters  . In Hungary, the  conservative and populist Fidesz  governs with absolute majority since 2010. 

His Prime Minister  Viktor Orban,  who has restricted press freedom to levels unknown on the continent since World War II, has defied all EU suggestions on the issue of refugees by lifting billboards at the borders.

In Poland, the Law and Justice Party (PiS) has ruled with absolute majority since 2015, establishing Islamophobic policies, and a very debatable reform that puts the judiciary under the tutelage of political control. 

Polish ultra-right sectorsoperated with the complicity of the CIA and other Western intelligence services in assisting Ukrainian neo-Nazi groups like the  Pravy Sektor (right sector)  and the   Svoboda  (Freedom) movement , which  articulated all terrorist acts prior to the Viktor Yanukovich's fall in 2014 and the establishment of the tycoon  Petró  Poroshenko , who is perpetrating a  genocide against the popular republics of  Donetsk and Lugansk.  

Not to mention that of his armaments factories there was much material for the men of  Abu Bakr al-Baghdad,  alias the  caliph of Islamic State. Coincidences.

The Party for the  Independence of the United Kingdom  (UKIP), defined as Europhobic ,  Thatcherite  and anti - immigrant, just elected as new leader  Henry Bolton, a former infantry who seeks to reinstate the ideas in the popular sectors where different versions of the left it still has some presence. 

The  UKIP  was news for its advances in the last European parliamentarians in addition to trying to establish policies of  has proposed massive deportations and the closing of dozens of mosques.

Europe is being victimized by its own historical aberrations and its leaders of the tragic consequences that their dismantling can produce.
