Pain In Descending Colon

By: Mauricio Alvarez-Dávila

I am and have always been in favor of self-determination of peoples and of all rights and duties that this concept implies. But I am also clear that the practice of this freedom is subject to the legal framework in which each village unfolds. For example, I was born in the capital of the beautiful province of Tungurahua: Ambato. My province until the mid-nineteenth century, there was, but was part of Cotopaxi. Many factors come to mind that drove my ancestors and their leaders decide to define a smaller but own territory and thus define a new direction, a new destination. There were those who opposed her, true, but more power was the determination of the framers of the new province.
This concept can be applied to that time, the province and the circumstances. But it can also be applied to any time, any geographical constituency and any occasion. If you wanted to secede from Santo Domingo Quito, was free to do as you followed the procedures.

Today, I live in Quito, in the city in which, for political consensus in all the constitution, political power lie and central government administration. I have also family roots in several provinces and relatives based in Latacunga, Imbabura, Guayaquil, Cuenca and Manabi, these last three most important land for economic development. For these reasons, I know quite well not only the reality of my hometown and my current residence, but I know I care and I care about the reality of the country.

But my interest in what goes on in Ecuador everything is not only my motley origins, but princes because of my parents and I saw around me the example of people doing it. Especially in Quito, I have seen people go a little beyond their own needs and presented themselves for what happens now in Chimborazo, and in Zaraguro, and in the Angel as in Bourbon, socks, Zaruma or Duran. Civics and citizenship education that I and my fellow received and continue to receive concerning the citizenship of Ecuador, the Ecuadorian citizenship, not "Ambato citizenship" or "citizenship Quito" or membership in a particular village.

In "high", as some say, have taught us how important to Ecuador is Guayaquil Quito, Quito, Cuenca that Guaranda ... But certainly we know that what happens in Quito or Guayaquil is of fundamental importance for the entire country, not just for those two cities.

is why, many times, we are "stuck" because we believe no other, but because what we do or fail to Quito and Guayaquil affects us all, is an example for other cities.

I say, are we able to conceive all problems of national and elsewhere our problems and needs of Indian wilderness, such as a need of ours, is it the people cited autodeteminación a single valid argument for a city to refuse to receive support and concern of other nationals?

What is certain is that we generate national awareness, more true and deep sense of great country ... and leave us selfish parochialism.

National USED Sense? Handling Rude



By: Fernando Cornejo León

The tacit alliance (or both) of a sector of the Indian movement (CONAIE) with the rancid oligarchy, fend off the meetings with leaders of the Civic Council of Guayaquil, we realize how the project is set in opposition to the Government.

It seeks to form a large and heterogeneous block where a number of walking groups are cannon fodder and their leaders know how to repeat the right phrases Ecuador with a different accent to sound more comprehensive and progressive.

The aim of the oligarchy represented by the big shots now of fragrant pedigree of the Civic Council of Guayaquil was always to generate a fragmentation in the country to enable them to become independent or operate the manor at will. The big question is what is driving the project and what the Indian leadership has similarities with that right?
The pre-state model of the 2008 Constitution was more functional for those who managed estates or chiefdoms of different nature, there was no state planning, the money was distributed according to the compromise and pressure level of de facto power groups. When you start to plan from the State and clarifies the responsibilities of each actor as they drop to thrive Central State which is so critical. That is the cause of such reaction.

model country that thinks CONAIE seems not so different from that benefited other groups mentioned, the phrase spoken by Mr. Dolphin Tenesaca (Ecuarunari) with respect to the Water Resources Act is very clear: "It is not fair that the government has all the power of decision. " Conaie and defend company a model where each Water Board in the hands of leaders always made a killing at the expense of the peasants who were literally deprived of the natural resource. Model planned and authorities to regulate and plan the future of this precious resource also collapsed some local patronage functions and other mechanisms that have historically allowed the water to be in control of certain sectors. Now it is understandable

alliance between CONAIE and right. Their ways of seeing the country as small plots in which each person lucre as he pleases are similar and have nothing to do with the policies of a government that thinks that from a technical and planning based on plural National Development Plan.

In democracy any match is possible and worthy of celebration, exclusive models that makes them defend both groups share causes of struggle against the Government, there is no reason why not raise their flags together, but it is essential that you make with transparency and without pretexts to hide in and beaten as a defense to the ecology that nobody believes them after the show that senior Indian leaders are members of mining which both critics.

often believed in the innocence of the CONAIE that fell Gutierrez kept so many that were readily used by powerful groups with almost virginal purity your leadership, we are now convinced that the story does not go, that used only bad manners are the basis for those who are commanded to defend an exclusive model and based on the inequitable distribution of what belongs to everyone.


The applause of the oligarchy and their spokesmen
do nothing but reaffirm our concepts.

Is It Normal To Be Really Wet

By: Jorge Nunez (The Telegraph) Read actual data is imperative in the world of politics. We must approach the facts and circumstances in the country to understand what happens in it. But the mainstream press, which is an incisive political player, using the data of reality to your taste and flavor, with the evident desire to prove his theory that the country is worse than ever and that the current government is a total failure.

INEC early April reported that unemployment had been at 9.1% during the first quarter of 2010. And that was enough to stir the hornet's nest is. Catching loose data here and there, analysts looked for the right show the economic upheaval the country was because of government policy.

No wonder they do so. That is the role of political opposition masquerading as journalists. And that companies pay them support them.
But as a thinking citizen, I am outraged by the gross manipulation they make the figures and data from reality. And even more to their brazen defense theories of crime and economic criminals, and his criticism of the "police function" of SRI.

for them does not seem to be no international crisis, which has beaten so hard to global society. Reduce all the alleged misrule of Correa and lack of foreign investment, and give as an example to follow the policy of Colombia and Peru, which received strong foreign investment and encourage private enterprise. But silent neighboring countries also have high unemployment rates: Peru, 8.6% in 2009 and Colombia 13% in the first half of 2010. In terms of economic growth, someone makes fun of "pyrrhic" 0.33% of Ecuador in 2009, but does not mention that Mexico grew 0.5% in the same year and that other countries fell. These are readings

vile, biased and interested in reality. Like those midnight news, looking to send us to bed thinking transfixed with terror and crime that haunts us, the articles of these analysts and journalists want us agonize and cause a political backlash. And this must be added, in concert, the action of speculators in sugar, which hide the product or sell it abroad, and the cries of the MPD, whose students reported "hunger and famine in the country."

Luckily, all this political claptrap and shouting on the right coordinated clash against the evidence of reality: multiple large public works to generate employment and production, an adequate supply of commodities and agricultural financing policy has production brought significant increases, including a winter harvest of 900 thousand tons of rice, up 12% from a year earlier.

Now our problems are not of scarcity but of abundance. Where to store these large surplus production or who sell them abroad? There is a good task for the Ministry of Agriculture and Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, now led by the highest technical level, which undoubtedly will address these challenges posed by overproduction.

Can You Walk A Duck On A Leash

The new home for alternate





Editor's Note: I am not and probably not an officer of this or any other government, but I found interesting, with much meaning and emotion the words spoken by Raul Vallejo in his farewell as Minister of Education and on behalf of their peers.

Gone are the times when ministers out by the pressure made by corporate groups to the replacement of staff is an example. (FCL)

By Raul Vallejo farewell speech on behalf of the outgoing team of government cabinet
With President Rafael Correa on Monday, April 5, 2010, at the Palacio de Carondelet, after the inauguration ceremony of new ministers.

I still remember the first cabinet, days before taking office in January 2007. It was in Punta Centinela and ministers appointed ministers and saw the sea and the sun as a temptation wasted in front of a demanding working method and discipline that began to take shape from the beginning. In night, dinner and songs with the old Napo, the "Gringa loca" and "criminal Crab" and the playful daring move to the musicians and install the singing group that would later be Foolish, foolish in his eagerness to sing like fools have been since then in order to transform inescapable reality of a country ravaged by the powers that be, organized to benefit a few.

What country has changed since then? The country of corporate groups which shared spaces including power as a result of the systematic destruction of the state no longer exists. The country's weak institutions and corrupt governments in check, and pressure groups was established as a parallel government in the history of infamy. The country in which small groups of radicals eager to assume power without legitimacy on behalf of the people and act in a sectarian alliance with oppressors themselves against this process of transformation we are living, will disappear. That country where the financial capital finance ministers put governing bodies and control of banking, in which traders administering customs, in which business associations governing the rules of a chaotic market, is no longer viable but still wallow in throes of dying beast. Ecuador

citizen living a revolution that restores citizenship to citizens what belongs: a State exercising stewardship of the company and applies the law, a public works project designed to service all throughout the country, investment in make health and education the cornerstones of an equitable society, creating conditions for fair profit venture, the spaces for the exercise of responsible freedom of expression. A revolution that comes to those people who were forgotten even by the preachers of fairs.

Ecuador To stay in the past, who are not willing to lose their privileges have resorted to endless maneuvers drenched in hypocrisy. They have twisted the meaning of words until they mean black when said target to be offended. They lied whenever it suited them so that in a moment the explicit defense of life was exposed as its opposite, the equitable distribution of income turned into centralism, or the defense of national sovereignty in alleged complicity with those who maintain an inhuman unethical war. Have tried to ignore what has been done with the sophism that still lacks things to do when we were the first to recognize how much is pending. Have exaggerated the problems in any exercise of government and minimized the accomplishments realize political will to transform society. And after boycotting the citizen's revolution, with all the guarantees of freedom and democracy built on a constitution of rights, then attack it from all possible ways, the legitimate and which are not, the usual chorus leaders have the nerve to talk of tyranny supported by certain media groups converted, modesty of any kind, political actors.

Three years later, the country has changed to the delight of the poorest and tranquility of the middle with a social conscience for those who migrated and those who await the return of their own and become difficult to be the same as before. Because nobody is allowed to rule for which, with each administration, have sought to increase their capital without any ethical constraints, because no one will allow the president to lock themselves in Carondelet back to life, because from all corners of country, the public will demand the physical presence of their leaders, listening to people, institutionalizing dialogue and accountability, but above all, serve the people.

to that change, with simplicity and dedication to service, personal dedication and sacrifices the family of a different nature, which we helped today participated in the alternation of a team of government, as in every life process, has completed a cycle of work in public service. In the endless road of human beings are only temporary and, precisely, that impermanence is what makes us committed action of the Gospel to the poor without paternalism or demagoguery, with a sense of justice and solidarity. Those who quit the government team hope to have fulfilled our civic responsibility to the full depth of action and ethics. We'll be wrong in the execution of certain tasks, no doubt, but our mistakes were in good faith and we left home happy to see, to look clean and our children.

Comrade President: a name which today the government team we want to thank you for the confidence in our technical capacity, administrative honesty in the political consequence, and we thank you also for the opportunity we have had to serve with love. We also wish to express our admiration, beyond to sing, dance, make jokes, be angry at risk of falling into one of the cardinal sins or Emelec, because you are a leader who rules with an example: the first is working and the last to go and rest, travels the country always thinking how to solve the problems that a witness, requires all as claimed himself, is always set in the detail that makes the difference and the country is a dedication to his heart.

We also hope that the camaraderie of staff accompanying the vocation of service of the companions who assume the responsibility that today we have today who we will and we can fall, ultimately, the lure of the sea and sun. Ecuador

A free and sovereign, fair is a dream of all construction for which we have contributed to the extent of our human forces, which continue to struggle with the principles of public revolution.

peers,
the country always, always!
