In the anglo-saxon school of businesses, from a long time ago, when a question is posed about what is the best method to impose a culture on an organization, either big or not, the answer is very clear: the people will act in the same way their boss, their top executive manager, will do.

If the manager …

… and please, Burgos people, forgive me…
Mr. Chaves has awarded new licenses of TV on Andalusia. The result? Mr. Chaves has awarded new channels of TV to the same people. He humbled, both in the bullfighting language and in another language I will talk later on.
Mr. Chaves, the president of the region of Andalusia, is also the president of the PSOE and, therefore, he must give example. If the PSOE is willing to promote the diversity on the media in Spain, then Mr. Chaves will need to act accordingly. On …

Meeting of Mr. Zapatero and two opposite parts: the leaders of the two major unions in Spain (UGT and Comisiones Obreras, also known as CCOO), and the leader of the confederation of businessmen (COE).
My second thought (the first will come at the end) is… why does those people met? Supposedly, they are meeting to put the basis for the social dialog and confront, from a joint perspective, the economic crisis. But, can this be true? What is the margin of action that those guys have with their associates? In principle, …

Terrific news: the arrest of ETA members in Spain and in France. Terrorists. Please, BBC and other media: change your style book: terrorists, killers; not separatists. Not only avoided terrotists attacks on the short-time, including a type of putsch to the Spanish nation, but also a blow to the morale and capacity of this band of killer people, crazy insane.
This is a clear example that the first step to defeat ETA is the will. The will to continue on the path on combating them with the forces of the State: …

Well, there is clearly a default or a symptom on the leftists that is spread all over the Spanish society: only them are right. The conservatives are always wrong. Under that premise, everything that is against them, against their ideology, …

In economic crisis times, the Spanish government is shocked. Inaction is the best word that describes the govern of Mr. Zapatero. Inaction and propaganda.
Mr. Zapatero’s economic measures are useless and the figures are proving that the crisis is deeper that expected. Today we know that the deficit has come to the Spanish accounts and this is only the last bad news. Deficit, unemployment, lack of money for financing (both on the public and on the private sector), bankruptcy of leader companies… This are the real consequences of the economic management …

Charnego, is Catalan slang, refers to a person who was not born in Catalonia, but lives in Catalonia for a long time. Do you know a “charnego”? José Montilla, the current president of the Catalonia Autonomic Region, is a “charnego”; he was born on Iznájar - Córdoba - Andalusia (by the way, a village with a Moorish origin name).
It is symptomatic that, usually, the worst nationalists in Spain were those who were born out of the nation they are claiming. A clear example is José Montilla: reviled by the nationalists …
