According to his lawyer, Jose Lara was the only transaction relating to the preference that has been done in Spain. "It was a lot of news with impact but each case is different so give different solutions," said Jara.

La Caixa agreed at the last meeting held in late August to convert the money invested by Antonia Brenes in preference shares in a number of banking products that will not go against his heritage. Asked within fifteen days. It has taken a little longer but today it has signed the contract.

This Arahal neighbor has been 55 days Cajasol door demanding the return of money that entered the account and could not get.

When danger is the common people who are hungry


The Plaza of Spain (Sevilla) yesterday afternoon was taken by the police. The danger, the people of the town. The legendary group of Morón, which evolved on stage just at the end of the biggest public outcry that has come in the recent Andalucía history. Born in the heat of the historic protests of the 80s, have now returned to make popular music, social content, featuring new album to commemorate its 30 years.
GENTE DEL PUEBLO

Townspeople, Paradas, Arahal, Morón, Osuna, Marchena and many other of Andalusia, are the new face of hunger, and they protest. In Morón, capital of Seville Sierra Sur, mass center emigration to Catalonia in the 70s, the SAT has 800 members, 40,000 in total Andalusia.

For the Seville Baroque and civil servant, who lives of public money, students and tourism, laborers are so hated as admired and unknown. The reality verging on propaganda media has finished hiding the social reality of the protagonists. The laborers who are in need, but instead of having his anguish in the silence of his apartment and property mortgaged bank, take to the streets.

For the conservative press in Seville, the problem is Marinaleda protesters. Before yesterday's march, the protest found general ignorance from Sevilla citizens, except the usual alternative groups.

For Marinaleda laborers, like those from Marchena, Paradas, Arahal or Moron, the SAT, Andalusian Workers Trade Union there is not "the union of Gordillo", but 30-year history.
It's the new face of hunger sticking up, the labor force from 70s feed and grew up Sevilla city with rural migrant remittances, observed with paternalism, fear and disdain.

Manuel Martín Pradas, Marinalera neighbor unemployed laborer and has participated in all working days of the march by the Andalusian provinces.

This march has been "hard and tense, because you do not know what to expect, and how the police will react" and is justified in that, "people in the Andalusian rural villages are hungry. However, it has not been the hardest protest, "Im 80s I was in taking the AVE, in the march to Madrid, protests much harder." His first protest was to get public drinking water in Marinaleda, "and since then for 30 years we live a succession of protest."

He refuses to accept the proposition that they are, a social problem, "we are a reference point, if all people were equal, the government would have many problems". For Manuel, "we are not only fighting for ourselves but for the whole of Andalusia, but people are not aware, we are branded as crazy, but when they are interested in, and benefit, then we are right."

Following the protest of the SAT, Osuna received partial ownership of the property The Turquillas, now operates his council, leasing the land to a company. "However Osuna, conservative people, involved very little in our protest," said Manuel. Rejects the management model of Las Turquillas in Osuna an put as a model Los Humosos, "where land, jobs and production are ours."

The difference, in this SAT protest was the opponent. Rajoy's government, which this Marinaleda laborer expressed with difficulty, says "he has 15 days to left the government of Spain" echoing the rumor that circulated throughout Spain yesterday that Rato will be his replacement. "But it is the same thins, same dog with another collar, we will continue to suffer unemployment and hunger. In 90 percent of Andalusia, there is hunger".  What we want, is to work every day, as if you have to put up a fight, we are ready. "

Meanwhile, Cañamero involved in the scenario of the Plaza of Spain saying that if there is hunger, people dont need to worry, "the supermarkets are full", and if you are homeless, "there are thousands of empty flats." Hundreds of police officers monitor each of their movements.

ANALISIS: Medios extranjeros hablan de rescate y salida de Rajoy del Gobierno

Confirmado. Las noticias de interés están fuera de la prensa oficialista española. Es decir, para enterarnos de lo que pasa aquí tenemos que acudir a la prensa foránea. Medios internacionales hablan de segundo rescate español el próximo fin de semana, 14 de septiembre y posterior salida del gobierno Rajoy, aunque no se menciona que pasará después con el gobierno. La experiencia de Grecia e Italia nos hablan de un gobierno de tecnócratas. 

NOTICIA RELACIONADA 

Si acudimos a las fuentes originales encontramos que la cadena económica Bloomberg, adelantó en un día, las delcaraciones de ayer del BCE: la fuente, un memorándum interno de Goldam Sachs, el causante de la crisis americana, y para quien trabajó De Guindos, antes de ser ministro. 

NOTICIA EN INGLES 

En resumen, dice que lo anunciado ayer por el BCE, esta dentro de las espectativas de Goldman. Schumacher, economista de Goldman dijo que espera que España pida un rescate la próxima semana en la próxima reunión de ministros de Finanzas del Eurogrupo , ahora que los detalles del BCE de compra de bonos del programa han sido revelados. 

Esta versión coincide con las declaraciones del ministro de Hacienda Luis de Guindos de que España estaba a la espera de conocer los detalles sobre el plan del BCE antes de presentar una solicitud de rescate financiero. 

CALENDARIO SEGUN GOLDMAN SACHS 
Este es el siguiente calendario previsto por el memorándum interno de Goldman Sachs que circula por webs internacionales: 
-12 de septiembre : El Tribunal Constitucional alemán da su bendición a la ESM. Esto permitiría la ratificación alemana para ser completado y la ESM debe establecerse en un tiempo relativamente corto. 

-13 a 14 septiembre : España hará una petición formal de apoyo EFSF en la reunión del Eurogrupo. Presionado por el fin de plazo para devolver intereses por rendimiento de bonos (y sin tener dinero para pagarlo) a finales de octubre (y bajo la presión de otros gobiernos de la zona del euro), esperamos que España avance hacia la búsqueda de apoyo. 

Segunda quincena de septiembre : La condicionalidad requerida por EFSF tendrá que ser aceptada por las autoridades españolas, probablemente será necesario el voto parlamentario. En paralelo, la aprobación de los demás países de la zona euro para la prestación de apoyo EFSF tendrá que obtener: en algunos países (especialmente Alemania), esto también requerirá la aprobación parlamentaria. 

-A finales de septiembre / principios de octubre : Memorando de Entendimiento (MoU), que codifica la condicionalidad se firma, la formalización de la disponibilidad de apoyo EFSF para España. En este momento, las condiciones necesarias establecidas por el Sr. Draghi del BCE para la compra de deuda soberana se han cumplido, muy por delante de la caducidad de los bonos españoles en octubre". 

Ante estas revelaciones crece la sospecha de que grandes corporaciones internacionales están marcando nuestra agenda político y lo que es peor, nuestro futuro. 

Sobre la posible marcha de Rajoy, es el semanario aleman de cabecera de Merkel, Der Spiegel, el que indica claramenteDER SPIEGEL que un segundo rescate será el fin político de Rajoy. VERSION ALEMANA 

PORQUE LOS DIARIOS ESPAÑOLES NO HABLAN DE ESTO? 
La prensa española esta atenazada por deudas con bancos, que a su vez dependen del gobierno y de la UE. En resumidas cuentas, toda la información que no pase por canales oficiales está controlada, y serán las autoridades político-económicas las que decidan cuándo darán esta información.

SEPTIEMBRE LLENO DE PROTESTAS

However, De Guindos has finally acceded to pressure from Brussels, and the text includes the settlement with the sole exclusion of systemic entities, to safeguard Bankia.


But each time there are more voices that indicate that not only no systemic banks, in a globalized economy as the Spanish, but the government's refusal to close banks with losses, and inject public money at the expense of the welfare of one citizens just trying to hide the bad gestios and criminal liability of political managers of savings banks.

Viyuela says it's cheaper to let drop a bank than inject money public money, because there are investors in those entities that can take those losses.

Viyuela says there are no systemic banks in Spain, "because there is a lot of money from investors and not having to come to depositors."
According Viyuela "Politicians want to avoid at all costs that have been recognized in public the have manged very badly savings banks" because this could lead to criminal and serious legal consequences for their respective parties.



Against let drop banks are the main Spanish political parties and trade unions, all involved in the management of the social savings companyes, also called "cajas de ahorro". To take an example, Cajasol.
¿How was elected the board of Cajasol, the main source of the PSOE, main left party, financiation?. They were appointed a representative of the Junta de Andalucia, another of the city of Seville, and the largest municipalities in the area, one of the Provincial Diputation and other unions representing. The same has happened with other savings similar entities in all the country.

After two months vacationing in the bank door she believes that swindled, Antonia Brenes, the old woman Arahal, Sevilla, which has held solo protest against the bank manager who invited her to put 33,000 euros, the savings of a lifetime of work in a high-riresgo, without their consent , today received the best news of his life.

La Caixa, has agreed today to return her money, after media coverage of its activities, make repercussions in the media across all the country.

This tenacious woman became a headache for La Caixa, one of the strongest banks in Europe, after appearing on national television programs. The national TV echoed the information to the local newspaper each day www.Arahalinformación.es conveniently amplified by social networks, and the Web news recommendation, Meneame.net, who managed to turn a local story, in an event of national interest.

Leader laborer become hero by the conservative government


The press and the right government, PP, -PopularParty-  inadvertently became a hero the leader of agricultural workers in Andalusia, Juan Manuel Sanchez Gordillo.

Last week, the ministers of Interior and Justice ordered his arrest after he staged a symbolic act, taking without pay seven shopping carts in a supermarket Ecija, Seville, southern Spain to send it to poor people affected by the crisis. Southern Spain, is the poorest region in spain with alarmants rates of unemployment. 


Alarmed by the right-wing press, which warned of damage to the external image of Spain in such a sensitive time and the bad example that others could follow, the government reacted forcefully to a fact on record was only through TV images. 

But Sanchez Gordillo did not participate directly in so-called attacks on supermarkets, only attracted the interest of the police outside the establishment. Therefore did not commit any crime, and his teammates either. The value of the stolen is less than neccesary to be a robbery, the act could not be called crime according to Spanish penal code. There were some arrests, a few hours after they were released to the evidence.


Since then, the reputation of the spanish agro-leaders is increasing in the media nationally and internationally. The leaders of the Union of Workers Andalusia, Diego Sanchez Gordillo and Cañamero have attracted the interest of the world press, and have taken thousands of hours of local TV in Spain. His speech is politically incorrect, but real talk of misery and poverty. They work the land. Most are not professional politicians, to the widespread discrediting of Spanish professional politicians of all ideology.

The government has not gone well the play. In addition, Der Spiegel, German weekly, accuses the government of being the main problem for the image of Spain. Conservative Spanish government runs out of time and knows it.

Meanwhile, the most pro-government right-wing press attacks without rigor or mercy to leaders laborers "rebels", accusing them of all kinds of criminal acts allegedly committed in recent decades.

In a country where the level of corruption has grown dramatically in recent years, splashing the royal house, the major political parties and all ranks of government, to stop a labor leader, without power or glory to steal a few bags chickpeas, looks like a bad joke.

While growing popular anger against the government, Andalusian day laborers union workers, with thousands of members, have begun a march on the roads of southern Spain, 40 degrees in the shade of August to bring people to their cause .

Today, the Andalusian Union workers get help from their website for Andalucia walking by. They need money to buy water and snacks to hundreds of people who have joined their march. HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
