    It's always good to have somebody to blame

    While many Spaniards are queuing up in gas stations and flocking to supermarkets to buy food to stockpile due to the nationwide transportation strike, our wise politicians led by our even wiser president have found somebody to blame:
    Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Saturday blamed the European Central Bank for a recent jump in oil prices and market interest rates, saying its president, Jean Claude Trichet, had to show more prudence. Trichet last week warned that interest rates could be raised next month.

    Not everybody is happy about that, obviously. The Germans, who have apparently not taken the socialist kool-aid, have said:
    Asked about Zapatero's remarks, German government spokesman Thomas Steg said Germany viewed the ECB's independence as sacrosanct.
    "We have no criticism to make of the ECB or of Mr Trichet. If Mr Zapatero sees this differently, he has to explain that," Steg told a regular government news conference in Berlin.

    During hard times, even better than having somebody to blame is to have an allied you can turn to to support to politics at an European level, whatever they are.

    Hi, JJ!

    Do you think that Spain is too much far from others European countries such as Finland or Norway when it comes to HDI, political corruption and so on?

    I think Brazil will never achieve such status.

    Well, Norway is far away from any other country in the world. I don't think we'll ever be there. Finland has been the benchmark against many regions in Spain have been measured, but I don't think we've reached them, no way. Corruption has been reined in since Felipe González left office, but it's still rampant at the local level. All in all, while we're closer to, for instance, Italy than we used to be, and there's not such a big difference Belgium, for instance (to name a few countries I've recently visited), Germany , UK and France are really out there, and we're not getting any closer.

    This is the very best blog for desires to be warned of this subject. You determine a great deal its almost difficult to advise together with you (not that I, in fact, would prefer ... HaHa). You, in fact, put the existing spin with a subject that's been evaluated for years. Exceptional points, simply great!

    The preferred task for disseminating such a supportive web website web page. Your blog isn't best to make use of yet it's far in addition to that truly imaginative as well. There tend to be not many individuals that can absolutely establish no longer so normal messages that attractively.

    Ülke çapında ulaştırma grevi gibi ciddi bir mesele meydana geldiğinde politikacılarımızın güvenilir bahis siteleri tamamen tuhaftır. Sadece birbirlerini suçlamaktan başka bir şey yapmıyorlar.

    Many men indulge in a love affair without having a clear plan of taking the relationship ahead. However, for many women, the end goal is often marriage. The vashikaran mantra to marry boyfriend is especially for females who want to get their boyfriend to take the next step.

    So, the onus falls upon the woman to use any means necessary to provide the necessary motivation. And mantra to convince boyfriend for marriage is an effective way to achieve this goal.

    Hi, extremely interesting article. My sister and I have been recently looking to find comprehensive info on this subject kind of stuff for a short time, but we didn’t until now. Do you think you can also make some youtube videos about this, I believe your website will be far more detailed in case you did. In any other case, oh well. I will be checking out on this website in the forseeable future. Email me to keep me up to date. granite countertops cleveland Asheville Tree Service

    I must point out my appreciation for your generosity supporting women who absolutely need help with this question. Your special commitment to passing the solution throughout was remarkably functional and has continually helped associates just like me to attain their ambitions. Your amazing warm and helpful suggestions signifies this much to me and especially to my colleagues. Best wishes; from everyone of us. betsafe
