Dove Comprare Un Tech Deck

"I try to show that being Christian is not being Cretino" An aggression

Vittorio Messori

, interviewer John Paul II and Ratzinger, publishes 'Why I'


lived and studied for 68 Policies with the passion with which a seminarian studying theology. Further investigate the possibility of belief. I was born in Turin and was brought up without faith. Politics is a dirty thing, but it is not just a dirty thing. I have written about the miracle of Calanda, that I love


Before anti-Catholicism had Marxist roots, but today the Wall fell-is radically liberal vocation. We live the dictatorship of political correctness that protects all minorities, from the disabled to the most remote tribe or the most unknown insect species threatened ...

And that bothers you ...?

protection only because that excludes three groups that, in return, must crush: smokers, hunters ... And Catholics!

Here you add the bull.

I'm not a hunter, but I am a smoker and a Catholic. So I decided, since I reached the faith, to demonstrate that Christian is not a synonym for moron, although I intend.

Who?

Especially a legion of former priests authors of a whole category of books, anti-Catholicism, which wash well his past before the inquisition of political correctness. Deme

names.

A mathematical ex-seminarian who always call for us to face in the media gatherings, this guy always tries to show that the mere fact of being a believer assumes that you direct an idiot.

What do you argue?

I'm Catholic, but I am not a bigot: I have many flaws and commit many sins, but I'm not an idiot, because, since he was six years old when I went to school until now, I have not stopped trying to learn.

addition, you enjoy the favor papal.

I was not Catholic. Policy Studies in Turin and in full May 68 turned politics into religion, until I found faith.

How? Story

my conversion in 500 pages ... You do not want to summarize it in three words.

is why we are journalists.

Say I've always tried to explain that the reason does not exclude faith, but leads to faith. To have faith, do not give a reason, but on the contrary: it is the reason that - if you use good-faith guide you.

How?

I had an education rationalist and come to faith had to refute rationalism as an ideology, not reason. Pascal himself says: well spent is the reason that leads you to accept the mystery.

How was your interview with the Pope?

I called Navarro Valls: "Vittorio, the Holy Father wants to see you tomorrow."

Why you?

Pope read my columns in the Avvenire and liked a lot, so I chose to make his first television interview ...

What an opportunity! Television

! That was not my medium. I am a journalist of paper, not TV. So, I'm sorry ... I wanted to refuse.

"Y. ..? Navarro

forced me to go see the Pope in Castel Gandolfo. So I went with Pupi Avati ...

"film director?

... To care for the staging. The guard warned: "Il Santo Padre!" and stood at attention when Pope John Paul II came in the beautiful baroque hall audiences, but he took us to his room, which reproduced a simple home Polish stink permeated cauliflower.

Would you convinced Juan Pablo II?

gave a fist on the table and I agreed. He asked me to send him 30 questions fax.

What you asked?

Nothing about homosexuality and the marriage of priests ... I asked about the root from which everything else depends: faith.

For example ...

"Your Holiness, do you believe in true Gospel?".

Not bad: ask the Pope if you believe.

hate the banality of the Vatican ... The important thing is faith, of any moral principle, and is now under threat because without faith, Catholic morality and the prohibition of abortion, euthanasia ... would be mere imposition.

reactionary and arbitrary.

Yes, because without faith it is normal for people to rebel against the prohibitions of the priests as I rebelled before reaching me.

What news did the Pope?

Navarro called me and told me he had finally decided to cancel the interview and sang a Te Deum relieved. After he called me "for inviting me to pizza" and brought a plastic bag full of papers. It was Pope's answers my questions in your own handwriting: Crossing the Threshold of Hope. "

A universal bestseller.

" They paid - trust me-10 million dollars for rights in 53 languages ". The book came out in October and Christmas had already sold 20 million copies.

you had written another best seller.

The Ratzinger Report in 1985, with Cardinal Ratzinger, then prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was hard for me to convince him to accept. That was an information book and John Paul II was in meditation.

Why did interview?

We were united, and attached-our concern about the connection between reason and faith: "Faith," he said in the West is extinguished like a candle which ran out of wax. " This concern was born the report, today considered the milestone that ended the debate after the Council.

Ratzinger was not popular then.

received threats! Asking the same pluralism in the Church, but also thanks to those who read relieved that they were not Lefebvrians.





The treasure in the mud

What about pedophilia in the Church, wonder, and his material wealth and spiritual misery? And Messori argues: "To believe in something, everybody believes, belief in God is not so easy and believe in Jesus Christ is more difficult, but believe in the Church, believe in priests ... It is almost impossible! The Church is an ambiguous reality is a treasure within a clay pot. What counts is not what we see: the rough mud bowl, but the treasure inside, which are the sacraments. But if you believe in reincarnation, you know that Christ Church wished to entrust his men to return, but are just that-men-and the human and visible part of the Church is not at all exciting. "

How Much Would A Escalade Limo Cost?

the Pope and to the democracy

Letter to the editor of the newspaper Corriere della Sera , Italy i Senator Marcello Pera professor of philosophy, the qual is not Catholicism.


Dear Director:

The issue of pedophile priests and homosexual unleashed recently in Germany aims to Pope. But making a grave mistake if he thought that the coup did not go further, given the enormity of the initiative reckless. And they commit a more serious error if ultimately held that the question will be closed soon as so similar. Not so. There is an ongoing war. Not just against the person of the Pope because, in this area is impossible. Benedict XVI been become invulnerable for its image, its serenity, clarity, firmness and doctrine. Gentle smile enough to disrupt an army of opponents.

No, war is between secularism and Christianity. Secularists are well aware that, if a patch of mud reaches the white cassock, be defiled the Church, and if soiled the Church would also be the Christian religion. For this, the secularists accompany his campaign with questions like "who else take your children to church?" And also "Who else will send their kids to Catholic school?", Or even too 'who will cure their children in a Catholic hospital or clinic? ".

few days ago has missed a secular intent. Has written: "The institution of the spread of child sexual abuse by priests undermines the very legitimacy of the Catholic Church as a guarantor of education of the young." Never mind that this ruling lacks evidence, it is carefully hidden "broadcast entity": a percentage of priests pedophiles?, "Ten percent?, All? Never mind even that the sentence lacks logical enough to replace "priests" with "teachers" or "political" or "journalists" to "undermine the legitimacy" of public school, the parliament or the press. What matters is the suggestion, even at the expense of the coarse of the argument: the priests are pedophiles, so the Church has no moral authority, therefore Catholic education is dangerous, then Christianity is a delusion and a danger.

This war of secularism against Christianity is a battle. It must carry the memory of Nazism and communism to find a similar. Change the media, but the end is the same today as yesterday, what is needed is the destruction of religion. Then Europe, paid to the destructive fury, the price of freedom itself. It's amazing that, especially in Germany, while continually hitting the chest by the memory of that price she inflicted on Europe today, which has returned to democracy, forget and do not understand that democracy itself would be lost if they annihilate the Christianity.

The destruction of religion behaved at that time, the destruction of reason. Today will not mean the triumph of secular reason, but another barbarism. On the ethical plane, is the barbarism of who kills a fetus because life would damage the "mental health" of the mother. Whose says that an embryo is a 'lump of cells "good for experiments. From an old man who kills because he has a family caregiver.

Whose accelerates the end of a child because he is not conscious and is incurable. Of those who think that "parent A" and "parent B" is the same as "father" and "mother." Of those who believe that faith is like the tailbone, a body that no longer participates in the evolution because man has no need for the tail and held upright by itself.

Or, to consider the political side of the war of the secularists to Christianity, barbarism will be the destruction of Europe. Because shot Christianity, is multiculturalism, which holds that each group is entitled to their own culture. Relativism, which believes that every culture is as good as any. The pacifism that denies that evil exists.

This war on Christianity would not be so dangerous if Christians warned. In contrast, many of them participate in this misunderstanding. Theologians are those frustrated by the intellectual supremacy of Benedict XVI. Those bishops who say unequivocally into commitments to modernity is the best way to upgrade the Christian message. Those cardinals in crisis of faith begin to suggest that celibacy of priests is not a dogma and that it might be better to think again. Those timid Catholic intellectuals who think that there is a "woman question" within the Church and an unsolved problem between Christianity and sexuality. Those conferences of bishops wrong on the agenda and as policy sponsor borders open to all, not have the courage to denounce the attacks that Christians are suffering and humiliation they are forced to suffer because they are all indiscriminately taken to the dock. Or those ambassadors from the East, which exhibit a homosexual foreign minister while attacking the Pope on each ethical argument, or those born in the West, they think the West must be "secular", ie anti-Christian.

The secular war continue, not least because a pope like Benedict XVI, smiling but not retreat an inch, feeds. But if you understand why it does not change, then it is assumed the situation and awaiting the next blow. Who is limited only to sympathize with him is one that has entered the Garden of Gethsemane the night and secretly, or perhaps one that did not understand what is there.

19.9. Housing


19.9.1. Take illegal possession of unfinished homes

The more than one hundred families from the 1. Past January 2010 took possession of the unfinished houses contracted by the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (Housing Ministry) said to Diario Hoy (6 January 2010) that will not leave the place.
The newspaper notes that this action was taken after waiting a year to deliver the Housing Ministry offers 308 houses that were built in the citadel of Chone Unidos Venceremos (Manabi) to those affected by the winter of 2008. Milton
Zambrano President of the citadel, the beneficiaries indicated that they took this decision because they have nowhere to live and also because the Housing Ministry and the Municipality of Chone have delayed the delivery of the project several times.
Given this decision, the provincial director of the Housing Ministry, Alfredo Lopez, promised that the works are culminating in a period of sixty days. As requested a meeting with the contractors work to accelerate the work unfinished. However, several beneficiaries
presented their doubts, stating that "the Housing Ministry in Manabi contractors do what they want and that is demonstrated in thousands of homes at the provincial level is not yet complete on schedule."
For his part, National Director of the Housing Ministry Settlements, Italo Córdoba, he ordered that to the fact raised and to prevent further problems take the necessary corrective measures to complete the work on time.
addition, as Zambrano these people are reluctant to leave the house because they know that this plan would aim to give housing to other families.

19.9.2. Victims of the "roboilusión"

In the scandal of the houses built MIDUVI, Jorge Bello (El Diario, March 5, 2010) stressed that their roofs "paper" (very thin zinc), their weak structures, lack of doors and finally abandoned, still marks the lives of many people, including young professionals desperate to have an income, lent their names to contractors linked to the shift boss and are in serious legal trouble, the accounts do not add up and there are many abandoned works that they can not be terminated because the money was already divided and calculations failed.
There Bello notes, there is a drama of low-spoken voice and no one dares to play publicly. Here are many important people linked and are afraid. Some days ago I heard on local radio, the president of the College of Civil Engineers Manabi admitting he knows the issue and various professionals into trouble. Expiration of the fear, to speak loud and clear. Before
said Bello, the deputies of the last 'party had their contractors, builders and prestanombres. But what changed with now? Nothing. Lies, obsequiousness, corruption, compromise and arrogance, then and now, we feel disgust. Abuses multiply each space, are becoming more obvious and compelling, the discourse is a liar and the alienating and abusive propaganda. Bello
narrows, it should be clear that this sector continues to corrupt people to be arming the immune apparatus and the same style as before: captured Attorney, Comptroller, constitutional institutions and will soon complete control the circle of justice all across the so-called fifth power.
On the other hand, when the accompanying political activist Carlos Vera by several cantons of Manabi. Bello was able to witness the despair of many Manabi (The Journal March 12, 2010). Gradually
has delved into the minds and consciences of many people, Bello notes, what started telling us of the nightmare "roboilusionaria" that emanates from the regime in power. Corruption abounds as before or more. Among the things that hit is the story of a professional would have asked you three percent just to talk of "binding" contract. If the work performed in another should make substantial contribution mandatory. There is a public work where the true owner of the work is one, another who signed the contract
and another, very different, which is leading the construction works.
In an institution concerned, the Housing Ministry, by the poor quality of his work, which is still on tenterhooks to their hypothetical beneficiaries and sparkling nerves to those who signed these contracts were auctioned contracts like this: a person x, we collected the 9 percent for giving the work, he agreed but gave it to another by 11 percent, and so from hand to hand and exclusive supply of materials reaches 25 per cent increase in costs.
face of corruption in public procurement has been aggravated in this regime "roboilusionario" concludes Bello, we have as an option, reporting, organization, strength and value of dignity to deal with this "robolution of pole faces. "

19.9.3. Bribery, breaches and scams

political activist Carlos Vera in its web channel www.youtube.com, "The Manabi I saw" of August 10, 2010, shares her experiences of her last visit to the province, which happens to reveal the despair that are in the region, by the corrupt management that occurs not only in housing by the state Housing Ministry, but on the construction of roads.
In the first case, one of the last directors in Portoviejo, resulted in favor of the scheme to represent in the election for Assemblyman and reached their goal. But in the course of their bureaucratic functions, has to do with the collection of bribes, which generally treated have reached up to 25% by contract.
Making history eight months ago (December 2008) living in Santa Elena Manta and reported to the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (Housing Ministry) poor quality of houses that were built with the plan "Partner Property"; But complaints have continued, for several works were abandoned and others lack basic services (Diario Hoy, 25 July 2009).
According to the newspaper, Rodrigo Pumagualli, Assistant Secretary of Housing Ministry, the country is in Manabi where there are more controversial. There are 47 contractors who have breached their contractual commitments.
Given the avalanche of complaints (Diario Hoy July 21, 2009), arrived in Portoviejo Victor Barahona, Deputy Secretary of Housing. Then, in the Provincial Directorate of Housing Ministry was put together a list of unreliable contractors. So far as the spokesman for the state portfolio, Isabel Intriago, 47 contractors were detected with problems, which partly had justified 6. Of the rest, nothing is known.
The most common problems are poor quality utilizaronn materials in the construction and abandonment of works.
The provincial director of the Housing Ministry, Alfredo Lopez, announced that the failures would not be able to contract with the Housing Ministry at least five years, they would also enforce the payment of financial guarantees and rescind contracts. And the bribes
can exceed one million dollars, if one takes into account that in the province were 41 cases of failed contracts, at 30 dwellings per contract and $ 5,000 per bond, giving a capital capable of handling about USD $ 6,150,000.

19.9.4. Right of recourse

As in other provinces have reported cases of noncompliance, especially in the case of Santa Elena, Morona Santiago, ... where it was found that the directors of the Housing Ministry, have been deliberately expire and are not guarantees could effectuate.
words off the payoffs delivered by contractors to the directors of the Housing Ministry, which resulted in the main, the abandonment of works and breaches of contract, the Government shelved effectuate the payment of guarantees, on a clear collusion. Having regard to the scam
, results involving the Comptroller he has not done so far, to establish responsibilities and sanctions and the prosecution to intervene and prosecute those responsible. This, as the State, their delegates, assigns and any person acting in the exercise of public authority (Article 11, paragraph 11 of the Constitution), are required to remedy violations of the rights of individuals by the lack or deficiency in providing public services, or for acts or omissions of its officials in the performance of their duties. Included in this area, now serves to Assemblyman Manabi.
But now, as we are in times of "citizens' revolution", in which The scheme does not pursue or punish corruption, damaging episodes in the housing sector in the province are likely to go unpunished.

another icon of corruption 19.8. Repression of the production and exportation of products


19.8.1. No further production

The rice farmers who are harvesting and the grass (The Universe September 14, 2008) are very concerned because with the pricing of Central Government, will not achieve a profit. Farmers Charapoto
(Canton Sucre), for example, in crisis by the fall in the price stood at $ 28 a quintal and unable to be exported, by decision of the Government in order to "force" as curb or falling prices. The most serious thing for farmers is that the cost of inputs (seeds, fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides) for rice production has increased, the costs just to reach inconsulto price fixed by the Government.
Therefore, farmers blame the government for applying to be bad policy to set the price for rice without considering what it costs to produce it. And they said, that "the rice price will come down only when improved farming technologies or, if lower prices of inputs, otherwise the work cease to be profitable and one sow. "
On the other hand, urea subsidized by the government "to help small producers," which is sold at 16 dollars to each of the producers who request it, but it is up to 2 bags per hectare, which, shortly support, where a hectare needs 6 sacks. And it is up to a maximum of 8 bags per farmer.
From the above, if not lifted pricing and suppression applied to industry, from the harvests of 2009 we will have a marked reduction of the production supply and in turn, the consequent price increase.
is that Ecuador can not be abstracted to the Law of Supply and Demand, more that government has a "revolutionary.

19.8.2. Subsidized exports to Venezuela

in 2008 (El Universo October 20, 2008) the Government decided to maintain the ban on rice exports to countries like Colombia and Peru. However, USD $ 600 is the price of a metric ton of rice for the Venezuela of Hugo Chávez. With the measure, has managed to keep the price of $ 28 sack of rice, said Agriculture Minister Ramón Espinel.
The official, however, did not indicate what amount of rice that comes out. The figures are not available on the Corporation for the Promotion of Exports and Imports (Corpei) or the Central Bank.
Months later, Espinel announced (El Universo, July 31, 2009) that Ecuador exports to Venezuela 30,000 tonnes of paddy and 20,000 tonnes of maize for the month of August. But gave no details on the amount that Ecuador wants to receive for export to Venezuela, or the price per ton was negotiated, however, speculated that the rice is sold at USD 600 per metric ton, FOB.
As transport of the grass in Venezuela is estimated at 40% of the FOB value, deducting local operating costs, it is considered that the subsidy reaches 50%
also said Espinel Ecuador will open the rice and corn exports by 100,000 tons for each product, which will be negotiated directly by local producers with potential buyers. Quito and Caracas
drive alliances "strategic" in various sectors to develop projects and encourage investment in all areas, as part of their matches to advance ideological "socialism" in the region.
But the guilds of production are kept apart. Not involved in the negotiations, but, give them negotiating.

19.7. Correa leaves Port of Manta


19.7.1.

disastrous interference President Rafael Correa That force to be in all great works as the chief architect, imposing their views outside of contractual agreements and causing the breakup of the former, is reprehensible, for the negative effects that reach cause against the people, because it threatens the development of them.
is the case, for breach incurred International Terminals Ecuador (TIDE), a subsidiary of Hutchison Port Holding China Label, to run the concession contract for the Port of Manta, the Government pressed to modify the contract in question, announcing removal of the contribution of USD 55 million loan of the CAF.
Facing pressure from the Government, the grant decided to leave the door and remove the grounds that it forces you to modify the contract and break the law, for the reason that one can not unilaterally change the rules of engagement.

19.7.2. "Blind" to the requirements of the contract

1. Basic Technical Project (PTB and the Draft Engineering Works, as components of the contract, provide a contribution of the Manta Port Authority (MPA) of up to USD 55 million to be earmarked for infrastructure projects in Phase I (Puerto de Aguas deep), including those fishing docks for $ 5.6 million;
2. According to the PTB, the APM is committed to managing a credit to the Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) the same which will be paid with revenues generated Development Law Puerto de Manta. Without the support infrastructure there;
3. A disequilibrium, the APM was required (Clause 59.3 and 61.3) to "restore the economic and financial balance of the contract" for the dealer ...., To "compensate for the damage (damage and loss of earnings)" for the dealer if no unilateral changes to the contract ...;
4. Amending contracts (Cl. 59.4) when benefits are reduced by more than the dealer 20% of the level of the financial equation, ie, the TIR listed in the Business Plan;
5. The APM did not follow procedures (cl. 62 and 64) to level the equation that restores the balance in favor of the concessionaire contract. By contrast, prevailed the government's decision to withdraw the contribution of USD 55 million;
6. While fixed legal domicile of the parties in the city of Manta, the APM "renounced the jurisdiction of judges and courts of Ecuador" (Cl. 101.4). Thus, TIDE put us at the mercy of international courts;
7. If TIDE invested USD 20 million for "lost profits" of 28 years are not exploited, would demand compensation that could be 10 times what they had invested.

19.7.3. Manta pass the baton to Posorja

For high and Manabi Manta, who lose the great construction, will Posorja far as the mega-port will rise. The National Merchant Marine Council, the March 5, with favorable reports of the National Security Council and the Port Authority of Guayaquil, authorized the International Alliance Port Company (Alimport) to execute the proposed deepwater port and international transfer of cargo and containers in Posorja, parish of Guayaquil canton, however that this must be dredge the access channel that is 8 meters deep. Alimport
is a company established in Ecuador by the English group whose members Albacora local companies and Vilaseca Nobis and plans an investment of 450 million dollars.
addition to the port terminal building provides a free zone where industries and commercial enterprises operate.

19.7.4. Harmful interference Correa Government

The ultimatum for the concession of the Port of Manta (The Journal January 7, 2009) came from Central Government: "The concession of the port of Manta, Ecuador's Marine Terminal (Tide), the Chinese group Hutchinson Port Holdings, has 90 days to develop the project Phase A1 Port International Cargo Transfer. " Alex
Villacrés, Assistant Director General of Ports said, "have three months, if not met the grant ends," .... "Has removed the state contribution of $ 55 million, which are intended for the works of the fishing piers and The work on the first phase of the mega-port.
Lucia Fernandez, president of APM, said that when he signed the concession agreement between TIDE and APM was considered a contribution of USD 55 million for work on the project ... there are 12 million USD in cash for the trust, whose total amount is $ 55. "The Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) has approved a loan of USD 35 million, the rest is financed with 1% CIF for imports."
The Telegraph (February 10, 2009) on his part noted that according to Alex Villacrés TIDE company has repeatedly breached by the contract, so that at a meeting held at the Government Palace in January this year, Ministry of Transport, the Legal Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic and the Secretariat for Ports, analyzed the situation and determined that the only way to save the grant is to make changes, a decision that was subsequently released by the president, Rafael Correa, who thus expressed in one of its radio stations.
"We proposed to TIDE that the State becomes directly responsible for the construction of the industrial fisheries for the company was nothing more than an obligation. That way I could have a free hand to continue working on the cargo transfer terminal is truly international business. "
However, TIDE considered the proposal as an amendment to the contract and based on contractual legal uncertainty.

19.7.5. Pending settlement agreement and goodbye to megaport

Pedro Vincent Bowen (The Journal November 29, 2009) notes that the last day 27 on the draft "Settlement Agreement TIDE-APM" to terminate the contract Manta port concession, there are 12 recommendations that must be met, according to criteria of the State Attorney.

The most relevant are:

1 .- That the contribution of $ 600,000 proposed by TIDE to APM should be to buy insurance to cover any contingency against third parties against liabilities incurred by TIDE prior to February 28 2009 (date TIDE took off without saying goodbye).
2 .- That the insurance cover will include responsibility for private debts and tax obligations prior to 28 February 2009. 3 .-
dealers with appropriate documents proving the "forgiveness" of debt (18 million) that keeps TIDE with holding loans made by Hutchison. 4 .-
should also be anchored to the IESS employer obligations and working with TIDE workers who may be pending. 5 .-
specify that APM has nothing to do with the claims of victims of the ammonia leak in the boat Andrea F., liability for the shipowner Esmeraldas SA and Panama Bay Insurance Equator. 6 .-
can not exonerate TIDE contractual violations and refrain from applying (previous) sanctions for (40.000 dólares de multa).

El informe advierte que: “TIDE y APM deberán replantear los términos del proyecto de Acuerdo Transaccional presentado (cumpliendo) con las observaciones anteriores para solicitar nuevamente la autorización para la transacción solicitada…”. Si no,…el Procurador no dará luz verde al Acuerdo… que es lo que algunos interesados quieren.
Y Vicent Bowen pregunta: ¿Podrán APM y TIDE cumplir todos los requisitos dispuestos e impuestos por el Procurador, en apenas 15 días que faltan para que se venzan los actuales seguros que amparan el fiel cumplimiento del Contrato de Concesión?.
Algunos creemos que no se alcanzarán a cumplir the requirements. And with that, no guarantees can charge amounting to $ 000 USD 7'500.
public authorities, concerned only in charge of TIDE warranty for breach of contract have accomplished the absolute abandonment of the mega project of Manabi, given that there is willingness to revisit the issue of the grant.

Transfer to 19.6. Missed the airport, telecommunications and electricity


19.6.1 .- Manta Airport reversed the State
With Executive Order 1112 of May 28, 2008, the President, Rafael Correa ordered the Airport "Eloy Alfaro" coming to be administered by the city of Manta by Manta Airport Corporation (Corpam) becomes managed by the National Directorate of Civil Aviation (DAC) and the Ministry of Defence through the FAE.
is recalled that the Executive Decree No. 1050 of November 5, 2003, published in Official Gazette No. 212 of 17 November the same year, under the Law of decentering the state but which has now been repealed authorized the city of Manta to build, manage and maintain the airport, "Eloy Alfaro". According
Corpam spokesmen, there are about 12,000 departing passengers and the same number on arrival, for a total of 24 000 every month. In 2008 is expected to be mobilized through the airport more than 280,000 people.
contrast, when the City received the airport, only had 2 flights daily. Now work with 8, more than cargo charter flights departing especially with fish.
At a time that promotes autonomy in Manabi, decentralization and devolution of functions to promote efficiency in public administration, centralized government decision has unnerved provincial sentiment to fight for the repeal of the reversal.
worth noting that the main reason to promote the reversal of the state airport is in that "5 years has elapsed was not carried out the recruitment process to delegate the grant of the airport, hindering modernization and urban development in that district, which is not suitable for the state. "
From time to time has also been said by government spokesmen who "are creating the conditions to make the airport an international transfer of both people and freight, following the example of Singapore. But, they are 2 years from the imposition of the rollback. And there's nothing concrete plans and investment have been implemented or are in mind for the future.

19.6.2. Reversion in telecommunications and electrification

On the one hand, centralism captured the state telecommunications companies but under the concept of limited liability companies: Andinatel, Pacifictel and Alegro. The latter which causes more loss to the State for corruption and inefficient management of the entity. With absorption, was the National Telecommunications Corporation (Conatel / CNT) on February 26, 2009, at the same time also, created for the electricity sector that would end in the creation of the Electricity Corporation of Ecuador (CELEC) for electricity generation and transmission, and the National Electricity Corporation (NEC) for distribution. With
Government's decision to Correa, to control everything, the possibilities vanished to make way for the creation of Pacifictel Manabi (spun off from the womb) or Manabita Telecommunications Company (Manabitel) that the provincial government came to pulling it off. Today, the CNT is a branch of the array.
Similarly, with the Government's decision to create the CNE, self-absorbed to the Electricity Company of Manabi (Emelmanabí), turning this into a branch of that. For fusion to occur the CELEC building through the purchase of paid-in capital held by the Provincial Government of Manabi in Electric Corporation of Ecuador newly created, paid for the provincial authority under USD 594,904 nominal value of share certificates, which in the past had in the Utility of Manabi (Emelmanabí).
That was imposed to pay the "sale" by taking reference to the historical value recorded in books, many say it's an outrage over the regime against the province and country.
The main objective of the merger concentrator is that companies share and manage its resources. Each one is a stand-alone business unit that will respond to planned objectives of the body integrator with technical independence, managerial and financial.
But far from good intentions to have the Government to manage basic services, we know that is a lousy administrator thereof. So, there will be some time for citizens to wake up and claim for local autonomy of enterprises.

19.5. Against the deconcentration of power and autonomy


19.5.1. In the past, the State maintained Manabi

A permanent exclusion, inequality and repression that have been giving the province the government of the day after the killing and dragging of Eloy Alfaro in 1912, and on the death of 5,000 fans Alfaro committed from 1913 to 1916, and yet, for the extermination of Alfaro (Eloy Alfaro and their victimizers, José Peralta pag. 474), this situation violated the emporium of wealth of Manabi, degenerated and economic system in the region became a state prostration and of being "kept the state."
We should remember that in the first decades of the twentieth century ".. the taxes that were levied on foreign trade (imports and exports) were increasing, which were for many purposes, including to address the fiscal crisis of central governments shift '(Sovereignty and Insurgency in Manabi, pag. 79, Carmen Dueñas).
"In the past Manabi has not had a fair and equitable treatment by the central authorities in allocating resources and works against the contributions to the national treasury that provided for taxes. The province was a victim of discrimination and neglect ... In the past did not have political clout Manabi, despite the revolution, had money to pay all administrative costs and to send military and still good amount of pesos to the capital and other provinces "(Historical Narratives of Manabi, pag. 56 and 60, Wilfrido Loor).
"Until the year 1928 gave the Treasury for taxes, the flattering sum of 10 million sucres, which did not reach his administration reversed and in the few public works that they carried out a quarter "... is taxed more than it received. "The statistics from 1926 to 1928 testify that the Government gave Manabi about 11 million sucres per year income. His expenses even to the Army and the Court also addresses Esmeraldas, were 3.118 million sucres. Manabi exported 6 million sucres and imported about 2 million. If allowed monetary autonomy, its currency would be the golden condor, eagles. She aspired to economic federation "... And great was the contribution of Manabi, the national economy," yielding the most of their forces while their villages have no water, suffer from diseases and epidemics ... "(Historical and Illustrated Monograph of Manabi, pag. 1, 12, 21 and 23 José Buenaventura Navas, 1934)

19.5.2. Because the state held

In Diary of June 6, 2008 pag. 6A includes an interview with Carlos Marx Carrasco, Director of SRI stating that "Autonomy of Manabi is not sustainable" and that the province is highly dependent on central power and that precisely this dependence will disable access to autonomy. Carrasco
Azuay emphasizes that provides 3 times more than Manabi although in this population is twice that at that ... and as received 4 and 5 times more than it contributes, no viable self-financing of the autonomy of Manabi. And
Carrasco falls short. The book is 6-fold difference: 73.7 million USD (Income, VAT, ICE, Customs) compared to USD 428.7 million (350.6 78.1 Central Government and decentralized entities, excluding public enterprises Emelmanabí, Pacifictel ...) according to " Consolidated Budget Execution "from the Ministry of Economy, 2007 (www.mef.gov.ec).
But the official, with his interpretation "timely" in a time when the Constituent Assembly is in the "stretch" to discuss and approve the new constitution in the context of a campaign to discredit the regional demand of Manabi, which comes from being raised since 2000, following the referendum, does nothing to become a spokesperson over centralism that drives the government of the country, that rather than promoting the decentralized and appropriate to the contrary.
It is intended that the big decisions and offerings should continue to be generated only from Quito. No other way, for example, explains that President Correa issued Decree No. 1112 May 28, by which the Eloy Alfaro airport in Manta that came to be administered by the Corpam (Manta Airport Corporation) with the municipality to the head, Provided its reversion to State (National Directorate of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of National Defense), under the pretext of promoting the process of giving to a private operator.

19.5.3. State impoverishing

The limited and poor tax of Manabi certainly prevent him prevent and impede fulfilling their obligations provincial spending, and they have done under the fiscal budget, is due to several reasons:
1.Represión their means of production, lack of credit policies, promotion and technical assistance;
2.Represión with local export taxes;
3.The abuse its transportation and its ports, first to Caráquez Bay and then to Manta, although the latter started to rebound when such project is to initiate changes in Load Transfer Puerto Internacional, this project is stopped by Correa harmful interference in decisions Port Authority;
4.Deficiente attention and funding of basic education and for all;
5.Falta of government policies, plans and projects;
6.Incapacidad management and widespread corruption of their leaders;
culture 7.Falta tax and taxation in the place where the event occurs (for sales in Manabi), focusing rather in Quito and Guayaquil by large corporations.

19.5.4. Manabi requires repairs protest
85
management in the Constituent Assembly members of Montecristi, 2008 for the effective decentralization of powers provided by the State and in Manabi is the permanent headquarters of the National Assembly (Congress), driven by management Assemblyman Ricardo Zambrano, came to nothing.
The positioning of the ruling Movement "Country", to have concentrated power in Quito, for "tradition", "history", "security", "costs" because the country needs a "strong heart", that is a tree with "robust trunk ",... Nonsense.
And since the "proposal for autonomy of Manabi" promoted by the Provincial Council of Manabi was mocked ... we have to persist in the desire for decentralization and autonomy and fight for it, by right and justice. Quito and the country owes reparation to Manabi, the attacks caused to the province in the past.
And this also, if one considers, for example, that central government transfers to municipalities per capita in 2010 in Quito is USD 99, while those of Jipijapa, Chone, Manta, Portoviejo less than USD 70.

19.5.5. Constituents are "cleaned" with Manabi

The proximity of the adoption by the Constituent Assembly of the new Constitution was drafted in Montecristi, Juan Jose Illingworth (July 17, 2008) highlights the following:
The countrymen " Country Movement "took Quito drafts of the Constitution, to be reviewed by an Editorial Committee of Experts of the interior. It is a foretaste of what will the next 24, day of the old Bolivar, when the Assembly finally carried from Ciudad Alfaro to the city where he was killed. The peasants will arrive Manta Monday to Thursday and will be bathed in this province, that is, they have been cleaned in Manabi.
But also in the other provinces, as Manabi is not the only one approved by the autonomy referendum in 2000, now would be (was) buried in case they pushed through the atosigante and propaganda from the Yes the government does with our money.
The fallacy lies in this government: the Constitution candidate text does not touch the power of the provinces, although this implies an unjust distribution of legislative power and therefore of public resources. Correa knows and campaign that featured in electoral districts of equal population size, but their psychological identification with the power to act does electorally. He went back to the disappearance of the Provincial Councils, which is perceived as easily exploitable emotional belonging to a province and found there a way to sterilize the autonomy, putting the requirement that a province should give up their identity by merging with another, even when that is not necessary to warrant, by itself, the status of Autonomous Region. Manabi
for example, has more people than the eastern population and more than 10 provinces together. According hands up "Country" may be "Autonomous Region" pairs of Pastaza and Napo provinces that together account for one-eighth of Manabi and Bolivar Canar or the third party. But no single Manabi. What fear and bitterness have "Paisanos" like Romo, Acosta, Cesar Rodriguez, the radio "La Luna", the Flanders and cejón Bustamante, as to put so much anger in a lock statement as proved popular as autonomous. It is also true that some coastal raise their hands for hire, traitors Manabi Coast, who think with their pockets and not to love their land. All in the name of "Homeland" and "country," Manabi been cleaned in the country, while the people have the last word in the polls. Wine
the referendum and thus the adoption of the new Constitution, which ends by removing that Manabí by itself becomes a autonomous region, as well as in the province is the seat of legislative power.
It is therefore latent struggle needs to be promoted in Manabi to push decentralization process, decentralized and autonomous.

19.5.6. Learn from Germany, for example

face the urgent need to promote national integration and also reverse the pernicious and outdated central tendency should sustain us in the lessons of history, "well done" and gives us German. And a comparison, this is worth doing.
imperial Nazi regime, from Berlin, led in the past, persecution and murder of millions and the destruction of several countries. Allies turn to kill the Nazis, destroyed most of Germany. In 1948, the Constitutional Assembly met in Bonn and in 1949 declared this as the Federal Capital and the single seat of government. At the time, was implemented Claiming Plan (Marshall Plan)
For five decades the city proved an excellent host government of a nation that during that time became a world economic power.
However, the Unification Treaty of 1990, with magnanimous attitude gave Bonn to Berlin to be the Federal Capital. The Federal Parliament on 20 June 1991 agreed to his transfer to Berlin. We planned and executed the decentralization processes to transfer sorted. Parliament and 9 ministries (of 15) of the Government initiated in 1999 his work in Berlin. Bonn
according to the Berlin-Bonn Act of 1994 became the second political center of the Federal Republic. And the rulers have their second home in the former. And in this 6 ministries have their headquarters.
And the other branches of government (judicial, electoral, constitucional, control), descentralizadamente acordaron su ubicación en Munich, Karlsruhe, Kassel, Leipzig y Erfurt.
En Alemania, primó la racionalidad y la unidad. En el Ecuador, no.
Si la Asamblea Constituyente y el Gobierno Central no trabajan por la unidad e integración del pais, descentralizando, desconcentrando competencias y funciones, estan condenados a ser rechazados hoy y a futuro, hasta el dia en que se hagan rectificaciones en favor de la periferia.

19.5.7. Reversión con la autonomía

Volviendo a la necesidad de generar producción y crecientes rentas locales en montos suficientes para programar atender progresivamente el gasto público provincial, the prospects of generating those are promising, provided with autonomy:
a) Build Petrochemical Complex;
b) becomes Manta Port International Cargo Transfer;
c) The Airport Manta also be raised to the category of International Cargo Transfer;
d) Run the Sustainable Agricultural Development Plan (PDAS) that drives the Provincial Council which promotes and strategic alliances in 10 years demand for an investment of over USD 185 million;
e) Run the Multimodal Manta-Manaos axis and enable the roads to Pichincha and Guayas infrastructures first order
f) a hierarchy and promote strategic planning, fiscal transparency, accountability and efficiency of public authorities, citizen participation, tax culture of paying taxes, taxation where the events are operated, the fight against corruption and impunity,
g) public services: airport, telecommunications, electricity, water, is administered in a decentralized, ...

19.5.8. English experience in the construction of autonomy

The regional debate that has unfolded and the process that tries to push in Manabi and country-albeit temporarily suppressed by the Constitution 2008 -, it is to stage the global experience in general and the English in particular. This is the best known by Ecuadorians.
For the former president of Catalonia (Spain), Jordi Pujol. In a presentation at Guayaquil in 2005 noted that "... it must introduce changes that make the country work and for that we must have regard to democratic systems .... To introduce a positive and creative mind, there is no political cannibalism in you have a few basic values \u200b\u200bof the country that are well accepted by all, and among these value-laden must be the autonomous, because it is proven in Germany, Spain, Austria, Belgium, ... It has been as decentralization from the restatement is more modest to strong state of the autonomy ... "
But Pujol warned that" Guayas have to pay a fee of solidarity with the country, including Catalonia pays to help communities regions that have a greater delay in development ... "
is that the backward state of some English regions, such as Extremadura, Andalusia, Galicia, ... versus "autonomous wave" that erupted in Spain in the 70s led them to find the political autonomy that allows them to quickly solve their socio-economic problems.
Hence, agreeing to adopt their policies arrived autonomy statutes, progressively, all 17 provinces of the Iberian Peninsula.
Spain's Constitution recognizes and guarantees the right to autonomy of nationalities and regions which comprise and solidarity among them. There are 3 principles: unity, autonomy and solidarity. Things Fall Apart if you remove any of these principles.
Autonomy is not sovereignty, is possible only within a single state and involves a sign of disintegration of the state in which political power is decentralized to the regions.

19.5.9. Solidarity with the Compensation Fund

As in Ecuador, with the regions should be implemented a system to financially assist the most backward areas, should be put in place an Inter-territorial Compensation Fund (FCI). In this, the English experience is very rich.
Article 2 of the English Constitution recognizes and guarantees the right to autonomy of nationalities and regions and solidarity among them. In addition, Article 158.2 states that "In order to correct economic imbalances between areas and to enforce the principle of solidarity, they constitute a" Compensation Fund. "
To enforce that Initially, the Organic Law 8 / 1980 of 22 September on Financing of the Autonomous Communities (LOFCA) collected in Article 16 of the FCI general principles and basic rules governing the Fund. Additional rules were issued after the Law 3 / 1996, 7 / 2001 and 22/2001.
The FCI that drew resources from especially in Catalonia and the Basque Country, has been reducing the number of recipient autonomy. And in recent years have failed to receive items: La Rioja, Navarra, Aragon, Castilla y Baleares.
But after 28 years of the FCI, it has remained a tool for development designed to correct regional imbalances between the regions and benefiting only 10 autonomous regions: Galicia, Andalusia, Asturias, Cantabria, Murcia, Comunidad Valenciana, Castilla-La Mancha, Canarias, Extremadura and Castilla y León) and the autonomous cities Ceuta and Melilla.
The 10 communities will receive in 2008 a total of 1317.2 million euros, while Ceuta and Melilla will receive 20.6 million. This represents a 8.1% increase over 2007.

05/19/1910. Compensation funds for the autonomy of Manabì


The "blog" of Assemblywoman Tatiana Hidrovo www.asambleaconstituyente.gov.ec web site past April 29, 2008, after giving his reasons on the validity of autonomy as an "instrument of profound change ... to build a sustainable model of living" ends to play for the regional thesis of Manabi and join it. This in theory.
But in practice, the reality is very different. Assemblywoman manabita to say that autonomy is a fact and that everything depends on the processes undertaken by Manabi, merely a position in a utopian scenario, the reason that, with their comments reported by The Journal last May 16 , pag. 10 A, said the Autonomy Act establish the requirements to be met, including that include a region (Manabi) who wishes to be independent should have ability to pay (taxes) sufficient. If it is conceived
possible provincial autonomy, it would never Manabi, because tax revenues do not allow meet public expenditure because: a.

- total net income generated tax residence of the Income Tax VAT and ICE, in 2007, for example, came to USD 54.2 million and 19.5 million USD tariffs, total USD 73.7 million;

b. - Assuming that companies optimistically cement, iron, gas, fuel , supermarkets, household appliances, telecommunications, ... sold in Manabi but taxed in Quito and Guayaquil, represent a potential revenue to be enforced for the province $ 100 million, perhaps they would have had global revenues of USD 173.7 million;

c. - Facing the Fiscal Budget Manabi Spending last year (2007) which reached $ 369 million, a deficit of reference that would reach USD 195.3 million. This gap would be covered by the State to address education (USD 148 million), health (USD 40.5 million) and the balance (6.8) to cover other sectors.

The deficit, while stimulating and enhancing the productive apparatus to generate provincial revenues that permit the progressive covering public expenditure would be covered by the state for a reasonable time, which can be about 10 years in the context of solidarity, equity, etc.
Manabi Not that it would still be "maintained" by the State, as once Elsa de Mena and Carlos Carrasco, ex - SRI owners said pejoratively meet the demand of funds, but the state is obliged to support provinces with the highest arrears plus, where historically, Manabi provinces that have been suppressed their means of production and lack of credit or technical assistance to road abuse, the use of the Port of Manta Bay first and then to your health , in education, ...
Finally, the assembly would do well to review the autonomic processes in Spain, Belgium, Brazil, ..., since those serve as a guide and lesson. These countries have implemented the "Compensation Fund" as a mechanism to correct economic imbalances between areas, to help depressed areas and to enforce the principle of solidarity.

pernicious presidential decision
Beyond the directors of the RCM in due time "gave" the business to generate electricity through the reservoir of Poza Honda and La Esperanza Manageneración the company that was formed for the purpose, as the leading contributor: The Manufacturing, retained 99.97% of the shares and the only CRM 0.03%, however, that brought the state agency with about $ 500 billion in assets (infrastructure) and the former, a declared investment of $ 12.3 million, there were claims that.
vainly attempted to "cancel" the contract: a) The Comptroller; b) The "Front Anti Manageneración"; c) Former Assemblyman Felix Alcívar which processed a mandate in the Constituent Assembly. The prevailing view of the validity of the "legal certainty."
But it happens that, over the 3 failed attempts before having scored away from investigations and sanctions of the case for the harm It occurs in 40.7% by low flows in the water pipe by Brazilian construction company Odebrecht in the Carrizal-Chone project, with the complicity of the directors of the Corporation for Water Resource Management (CRM), arguing Correa He senses a "poor handling" of electrical systems and built in reservoirs transfers of La Esperanza and Poza Honda, without consultation, by Executive Order # 69 ordered the seizure Manageneración of goods, however, that in the previous Decree N. 40 which in Article 4 provides that the obligations under contracts concluded by the MCA shall be borne by Senagua, so that would be respected, peremptorily, the contract with Manageneración.
The executive, supported by decisions of the Ministry of Environment and Senagua Conelec with Decree # 69 (Section 3) for "poor handling" of dams and diversions imposed "requisition" (seizure) of property and infrastructure Manageneración .
This government decision was given, beyond the May 13, 2008 the Ministry of Environment with license revoked Resolution 132 Environmental Manageneración SA company for "failing to submit semiannual reports, not to protect the environment, breaking the implementation of an environmental audit," among others. This led to the National Electrification (CONELEC) on 6 May, to notify Manageneración SA provisional suspension of hydroelectric Poza Honda and La Esperanza to submit the environmental permit and has the concession for the use and water use for power generation provided by the National Secretariat for Water (SENAGUA). However
July 22, 2008 was authorized to resume its activities and then, paradoxically, October 22 that year, the MAE has suspended all procedures and administrative processes related to the operation and environmental licenses for power generation activities in both systems, and asked the company to produce the evidence to not damage the ecosystem to Chone Estuary funding through an "Environmental Diagnosis of the Chone river basins and Portoviejo.
Thus, the consultant hired Manageneración ECOBIOTEC Ecuador, a specialist in sustainable development and environmental studies and by terms of reference issued by the Foreign Ministry held a job three months to diagnose the current state of environmental quality in the area of influence in particular hydropower plant La Esperanza, in the Carrizal River - Chone, and the definition of the causes and actors involved in environmental issues.
For his part, President Correa, thinking it does well, last September 29, 2009 signed a decree which authorized the SENAGUA, National Technical Secretariat of Risk Management and the new Undersecretary of Water Demarcation Manabi to exercise the control, management, regulation and management of reservoirs and dams Poza Honda and La Esperanza and the adoption of preventive measures to address potential risks, then to declare state of emergency due to the "progressive decrease in efficiency" produced by the company Manageneración SA

19.4.2. Fundamentals of the requisition

In this process, the National Secretary for Water, said Jorge Jurado (http://www.senagua.gov.ec) that these reservoirs were not designed to serve power generation, but to ensure sufficiency of water for human consumption, irrigation and flood control in the region seasonally. Therefore described as irresponsible actions implemented in 2003 by the current government (Lucio Gutierrez), under agreements that allowed the storage and indiscriminate use large volumes of water for private purposes.
The signing of this decree is the "recovery of the sovereignty of the water" in Manabi, said Secretary of State, after six years of ignoring the intrinsic value of action, tried in the present Constitution of the Republic as a heritage any and all Ecuadorians, inalienable human right.
Since the infrastructure is managed without sufficient technical and exposing the best of their ability to generate energy, SENAGUA initiate a technical audit to understand the consequences of such misuse and if necessary undertake immediate legal action against the administration appropriate, therefore, is the intention of Government to recover the operational capacity of the reservoirs Poza Honda and La Esperanza, to meet the objectives for which they were created, thereby preventing risks and incalculable harm would the population.
For its part, the president emphasized the action that the Government plays in the province of Manabi, in the context of institutional recovery seeks to end the privatization and monopolization of public goods.

Finally, for your link on Saturday October 3, 2009 President Correa (El Universo, October 5, 2009) described as "robbery" management agreement Manageneración. "Reversing this robbery and the reservoirs are in state hands, and back again to make use of irrigation for farmers and any extra water to work will small hydro."

The system will perform a technical audit to check the condition of the dam and make judgments against "this robbery was done at the country," said

19.4.3. contractual abuse

The cancellation of the contract between the Manufacturing and CRM Manageneración formed, came after six years in the private firm that built the two plants to generate energy and thereby help solve the electricity shortage in the province.

Hugo Almeida, manager of Manageneración (El Universo, October 5, 2009) estimated that the Manufacturing has invested USD 18 million in the construction of two hydroelectric plants, and also reminded President Correa Manageneración assumed the administration and costs maintenance of the dam La Esperanza to the allocation of $ 1.5 million annually since 2005. "The state has had a savings of $ 6 million in these years," said Almeida.

Manageneración hired 45 people to handle the administration and maintenance two dams and diversions.

Victor Loayza, a lawyer for the Manufacturing, told The Universe, that the contract signed with the government of former president Lucio Gutiérrez provided guarantees in the event that the CRM would terminate the agreement.

Loayza, said he will demand compensation from the State, as Manageneración emerged from a public competition held by the MCA to take up water from reservoirs.
worth noting that after the Ministry of the Environment withdrew Manageneración ambient operating license in October 2008, claiming the new rules of environmental licenses, Manageneración to comply with new rules "revolutionary" assumed the cost of environmental studies conducted by the firm Ecobiotec, independent consultant supported by the Ministry of Environment, which demonstrated that the central mini did not affect the environment. But without any formal explanation, no license was restored Manageneración operation. Months passed ... until President Correa ordered the requisition of the assets of the company.

19.4.4.
demand compensation for Manageneración
Managers, however, have been refuting the wiles of the decision by President Correa and put forward their claims for promotion to be compensated in accordance with the law

This, As the obligations (No. 9) of the contractual relationship with Manageneración CRM are those of compensation for legal changes that can affect the contract terms.

Sensing for granted that befall the claims, the company entered manabita raise demand. Yes, they demand $ 18 million investment, consequential damages and lost wages for time operating -45 years missing. The total claim amounts to USD 42 million. But this will join in the settlement, court costs and interest that is caused after it is sent to pay accordingly.

demand arbitration in accordance with terms of the concession contract, which is law for parties, with the order of compensation referred to was presented at the Mediation Center of the Chamber of Commerce executives Manta Manageneración.
And the resolution that some day come to take the said court of arbitration, which no doubt will to defend the "legal certainty" of contracts will constitute double jeopardy, being of a single court. Thus, the State has no right to bring appeals or revisions to any court.
And if the system gives turn delaying the payment of compensation, no doubt the injured will go to international courts (ICSID, IACHR, ...) to claim their rights.
a mess in which we wrapped the president of Ecuador.

19.4.5. To "not take the hair" to the province

For the "new model" for transparent and efficient work, and "not take the hair" to the province, is the emerging role of citizenship under powers granted by Article 95, 96 and 100 of the Constitution, to:

a) Participate, monitor and control Manageneración demands and new recruitment of new bureaucratic entity: Senagua and Secretariat Manabi Water Demarcation (Formerly CRM)

b) Monitor the implementation of "Performance Audit Manual" of the Comptroller and

c) Exercise the Article 11, paragraph 9 of the Constitution, to apply the "right of recourse "against corrupt officials and submissive damage caused or occasioned by the State. The latter group will be involved officials of the current regime.

Sock Shoes For The Shower

Manageneración illegal seizure of 19.3. Correa enrapture the majorities: FOL case


The Forward Operating U.S. (FOL) in the period June 2000-2009, 5800 conducted counter-narcotics missions, contributed to capture from 3,011 individuals linked to the transport of 1,758 tons of cocaine and 83 marijuana with a market value of about $ 35,000 million. In addition, it generated a monthly contribution of $ 8 million to the economy of Manta. However, force majeure (order of President Correa), will: track, buildings, equipment, vehicles ...
for the "defense of national sovereignty", who does the government itself that was the Blessed Sacrament by the Constitution (Art. 5 ) that prohibit the transfer of military bases to foreign forces, the FOL which was established to combat drug traffic from the airspace, the countdown began to leave the Manta base and took place on 18 September. This, as the scheme in advance decided not to renew the lease, because its policy is "anti-imperialist."
However, FOL and the U.S. is our thanks.
But beyond the nationalist fundamentalism in the style of the ideas of medieval thinkers (Thomas Hobbes, Jean Bodin) who argue that sovereignty is absolute and perpetual power of the Republic, in which the land is "sacred" and inviolable and that does not allow foreign armies, the U.S. withdrawal is a mistake of the scheme, since the conception of sovereignty put forward, it is visceral, and captivated the retrograde majority.
First, in today's world, international interdependence is multiple and exponential production, trade, law and international cooperation, integration, entrepreneurship, technology, science, globalization, telecommunications, internet, music, movies, sports, religion, education, poverty and drug trafficking, ... As there is no room for socialistic dogmas that give us more isolation, backwardness, autocracy, poverty and corruption.
Second, because according to the Constitution (Art. 1 and 3), Ecuador is a sovereign, whose power resides in the people, who exercise it through bodies public power and forms of civic participation, ... have the duty, among others, to ensure the Ecuadorian education, health, nutrition, employment, ...
In this perspective, generate wealth and "good life" to the Ecuadorian and that is the reason and purpose of the sovereignty, would do well to make the scheme effective, for instance, the Law of "food sovereignty."
and would have been more intelligent, strategic and sovereign, for example, renegotiating the grant of the Base, for 10 years, with a minimum rent of $ 2 million per month, which could be generated by this concept USD 240 million funds well have served to combat poverty, co-financing the implementation of the Agricultural Development Plan of Manabi. Because, what good is the sovereignty, if people are starving and living in misery?.

A Colombia

FOL military operations moved to three bases located in Colombia offered Palanquero, Apiay (central Mexico) and Malambo (north). And we Americans can also use other 4 airports.
Colombia has insisted on denying that these arrangements are giving way to a new version of what remained in Ecuador for a decade. "These bases are Colombian and will remain operated by the Colombian military, agreement contained in US-Colombian cooperation.
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has advocated military cooperation treaty emphasizing its "convenience" for the country in the fight against terrorism and illicit trafficking of cocaine. If the deal closes, some 800 soldiers and 600 U.S. contractors come to this country to advise the Army.
"Get agreements with countries like United States, with all due respect to the Colombian Constitution, the independence of Colombia, will help us in this battle against terrorism, drug trafficking, it is most convenient for the country" said the Colombian president repeatedly.
One point which establishes the agreement is that "it will not affect third States, and that its essence is cooperation." The driving exercises should not be viewed as actions against neighboring countries, especially Ecuador and Venezuela.
However, Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, has been encouraging the confrontation with Colombia, for its submission to the U.S.

Despite the anti-imperialist fever aid continues

U.S. cooperation in Ecuador (AFP Diario El Mercurio, 23 February 2010) totaled $ 59.7 million in 2009, military assistance and support items to local governments more resources, said Monday the U.S. Embassy in Quito.
The contribution to the Ecuadorian Armed Forces amounted to $ 12.7 million in areas such as training, equipment and infrastructure construction, according to a statement.
This does not include the "donation of facilities and equipment" for $ 35.1 million to the Base of Manta, the U.S. operated for a decade until 2009 to air anti-drug activities. Behind
ranked military aid, with $ 9.4 million, support for local governments, criminal justice and projects for natural disasters and prevent trafficking. The
development plans in border areas with Colombia and Peru and rural communities received $ 8.8 million, while 7.8 million went to the fight against drugs and other transnational crimes. Washington
also supported initiatives for economic growth by $ 4.5 million and environmental protection for 5.5 million, detailed balance.

19.2. Renegotiation of the project losses in Carrizal-Chone


19.2.1. Renegotiation "strategic"

The Carrizal Chone II Project, valued at USD 102.9. million was signed on November 22 2006, financed by the State Bank and implemented by the consortium Odebrecht-Hidalgo.
But the new administration of President Correa, came to challenge the contract, being predatory. And it became a holding pattern.
On May 3, 2007, Finance Minister Ricardo Patino announced that it had reached a "technical economic agreement" with the contractor, as it was found that the cost of the work allowed to have more coverage than that provided in original contract.
funding was not confirmed as quickly and rather President Correa to intimidate and "negotiate" better late June stressed that the work has a high premium. "The infrastructure to irrigate one hectare should not cost more than $ 2,000 and in this project costs $ 20,000," he argued.
and formed a committee to review the contract. The 5-member commission could not reach a unanimous decision. While 2 of them (Otton and Susana Zevallos Dueñas) recommended to rescind the contract, the other 3 were inclined to continue with the company and installed "because he knows the middle" and "because it would allow the immediate start" of the works.
Government went on to state that renders obsolete the Phase II contract. Technical Polytechnic (ESPOL) and the Corporate Average Manabi Water Management (CRM) started (The Journal August 9, 2007) analysis of costs is CRM for the new bidding process.
Enrique Lozada, chief executive of the MCA, said that this work is sincerely accounts because there are costs that are over 30 percent. "These prices are there and were approved by the previous administration," said Lozada.
The president of CRM, Xavier Valencia, meanwhile, confirmed that there will be new bid, ruling that will make a direct award, but needed the Ministry of Economy official the decision to rescind the agreement to convene the committee recruitment and declare null and void the process. After that restart the new tendering process would take about six months.
And the months passed. Far
concrete that termination of the contract with Odebrecht, which takes place the new bidding process, the January 25, 2008 was finally signed the contract for $ 84.9, ie 14 percent (USD 18 million of apparent savings) which was signed at the end of the government of Alfredo Palacio.
Odebrecht was argued that the lowered unit costs of inputs and even increased a thousand hectares of irrigated area. Apparently "big business" driven by the Government. And he boasted of its "success."

19.2.2. Reduction of flow in 40.7%

On September 16, 2008, the Secretary National Anti-Corruption Arrata Alfredo Vera, sent a memorandum to President Rafael Correa, which caution against the new contract, which was already running.
The reduction of 14 percent achieved this government actually had a decrease in flow capacity of 40.7 percent.
Vera, defended his comments, explaining that:
a) The length of pipes is reduced by 4 km;
b) lines are deleted and replaced with larger diameter of smaller diameter ... reducing the capacity for future expansion;
c) In a similar project in Sevilla materials and Cordova in Spain, with similar diameters and equal extensions, the price is only 36 million ", 60 percent less.
d) Comparing the two contracts are reduced thicker pipes up to 2.2 meters in diameter, while it increased the thinnest;
e) The pipe used is more PVC fiberglass, known as the GRP and is built in a factory Guayaquil, however, the pipes that are manufactured in Colombia are U.S. $ 10 million cheaper.
f) There is evidence of collusion that come from Phase I that built it Odebrecht and extending to the present using the assembly CRM.Los auditors and the Democratic Popular Movement (MPD), Jorge Escala and Abel Avila requested (http://comision.asambleanacional.gov.ec/blogs/abel_avila/ blog/2008/11/17/asambleistas-del-mpd-inician-fiscalizacion-a-la-construccion-de-la-ii-etapa-del-sistema-de-riego-carrizal-chone /) on 17 November 2008 the President of the Legislative Audit Commission Fernando Cordero, the hearing on the Committee on Government Procurement and Transparency, the Executive Director of the Water Management Regulatory Agency of Manabi, Alex Alcivar and former Secretary National Anti-Corruption Alfredo Vera Arrata, to explain the inconsistencies in the supplementary contract of Carrizal Chone irrigation system, which show evidence of collusion. Interested in knowing why:
• The project's irrigation capacity decreased by 40.65%
• The length of the pipe is reduced by 4.00 km. •
lines are deleted and replaced with larger diameter for each child, reducing the capacity for future expansion, greatly harming the beneficiaries of the irrigation area
But the request was not served and those officials did not appear before the Legislature, so far, .. And it's much more than a year.
On the other hand, the "renegotiation" driven by the government of Rafael Correa with Brazil's Odebrecht highlighted by Diario Hoy (16 February 2009), in theory, looking for a savings of $ 18 million, news that was exposed as a "victory" by the minister of the Coast, Ricardo Patiño ( Chancellor today.) However, according to a report by the National Anti-Corruption Secretariat, at the request of the Presidency of the Republic, states that there was no such saving, but rather decreased the technical capacity of the project. "It reduces the carrying capacity (pipeline) continuous water and its future expansion, forcing the project to rely on lots of water in reservoirs," reads the report.

19.2.3. Official cover contributed to perfect the scam
CRM
always in the expected orders of Central Government for the settlement of the contract and to block the consummation of the scam. There was no interest on the part of managers from the MCA to promote the investigation of the case and to fulfill the political offer made by the PAIS Alliance, with which Ecuadorians duped by offering to run the "Revolution Ethics and Corruption" and thus enticed us to rise to power.
The story reviewed the December 16, 2008 on the web (http://ticsdemanabi.net/noticias/index. Php? Blog = 10 & page = 1 & disp = posts & paged = 2) comes to reveal that now elected director of the powerful National Council of Citizen Participation and Social Control, Ab. Cedeño Fernando Rivadeneira is coalesced and concealed the aforementioned robbery that was perpetrated, in which event the board was involved in the CRM, which Cedeño was one of its members.
Cedeño, director of Alianza PAIS in Portmore in 2006, cultivated a close friendship with Eq Ricardo Patino and participated actively in the political campaign that brought him to power with Rafael Correa and his group.
being appointed as Minister of Economy Patiño, this in turn rewarded for their political support Cedeño, appointing him as Secretary General Ministry of Economy, while, he endorsed as his representative to the Board of the CRM on January 17, 2007.
Cedeño was in the CRM until April 2008. At this time, participated in the sourcing decisions of the CRM. In this condition, far from promoting the termination of the contract with Odebrecht, which takes place the new bidding process, validated the "renegotiation" that materialize when the January 25, 2008 it signed the new contract.
is, Cedeño was aware of the changes (reduction of pipe to reduce the water carrying capacity) that were introduced in the renegotiated contract, and it was later reported by the owner of the National Anti-Corruption (SENACOR).
As has been customary in Manabi, the silence of Cedeño, while covering up the illicit must have had a high price.

19.2.4. Attorney shares responsibility
cover
There were no national or provincial body to hear complaints control of Alfredo Vera to verify Alfredo Vera research and to boost its prosecution and punishment. Camilo
Mena, SENACOR official recalled that President Correa (Diario Hoy, Black and White, October 20, 2008) forced the association to reduce the amount of the contract, after "the premium detected." However, claims that this has not been fulfilled in practice because the developer has reduced the diameter of the pipe (and save costs.)
Mena added that the Comptroller stated that in Colombia created a work of similar characteristics, whose line "costs 35% less", despite the Carrizal Chone project is manufactured by the company Odebrecht in Portoviejo.
For all this, the Senacor filed a complaint with the Attorney General has asked Tosagua and inspections to verify the work. There was no decision on how to terminate the contract (or unilateral termination by mutual agreement), since that depended on the Attorney General, he said then.
The complaint came to present the Prosecutor Vera Tosagua, "sleeping the big sleep," so far, as has been characteristic of the inspection bodies in the case of irregularities committed by officials who have links with central power.

19.2.5. Award for an unconditional correísta and rooting damage to
Manabi Manabi
While a new episode of "business" was forged in the CRM (now Senagua), the Ab. Cedeño Fernando Rivadeneira, continued to enjoy the delights of authority issued by the Alliance home and broad sponsorship of Ricardo Eq Patiño, beyond the Ministry of Economy, as it was named:
a) Representative of the Ministry of Finance to the Directorate of Civil Aviation;
b) Deputy Director General of the Social Security Institute, the first months of 2008 and,
c) Deputy Director of Civil Registry through March 2009;
d) Finally, by "competition" organized by the National Electoral Council, was selected as chief adviser of the powerful Council of Citizen Participation (CPCCS) in March 2010.

the other hand, Decree 1348 of September 23, 2008, President Rafael Correa, in a fit of rage and recklessness, ordered the confiscation of assets Odebrecht expulsion of senior executives and the "initiation" of lawsuits for fraud for damages in the San Francisco hydroelectric plant.
The "Act of Termination", the construction contract for phase II Carrizal Chone system, which was signed by the leaders of the CRM and the Brazilian firm Odebrecht in the middle of last month (November 2008), allowed to terminate the lease . While Odebrecht
settled their staff, proceeded to settle the contract and paid a final bill of $ 10 million, the company Carrizal Chone SA took up the work left unfinished Odebrecht, outsourcing the execution of the work to subcontractors Odebrecht.
After the departure of Odebrecht, the Water Management Regulatory Manabi (CRM) has awarded the continuation of the project (El Diario, 16/Febrero/2009) to Eseico & Coinfra.
However, behind the late delivery of the advance of USD 22 million to advance the implementation of the work, a dispute erupted between the subcontractors who previously worked with Odebrecht. According to Jaime Morillo, legal representative of the subcontractor Venrental and Associates, the award of contract to Eseico & Coinfra, Galarza group, there was not a call for tender.
"Negotiated only with them thus violating procurement laws, and not given the opportunity to participate to other subcontractors who submitted proposals cheaper, "said the representative of Venrental
The Journal also reviewed that the contract was awarded to Eseico & Coinfra worth over USD 33 million, nearly $ 4 million more than the proposed Venrental & Associates (USD 29 million approximately) and the same value of the initial offer by Odebrecht.
The CRM was supported them in Decree 1383 issued by President Correa, which declared an emergency at Carrizal-Chone and other projects. That is, no transparency and "finger" was re-contract the execution of works with costs and damages millionaires.
Finally, have spent months and work has not been restarted. The former CRM (now Senagua) argues that waiting, the disbursement of USD 22 million to continue the execution of the work. Today April 1, 2010 will not know until when will have to wait.

Why Won't China Let Tibet Go

19.1. CRM illegal disposal, DESC, JRH


19.1.1. To end the "looting" of the province face

centralist and illegal decision of the Government to merge, via Executive Order # 40 October 2009 and not by law, as it should have been if it respects the rule of law, to integrate the Corporation for Water Resources Management of Manabi (CRM) and Development Centre for North Zone Manabì (DESC) with the National Water (SENAGUA) and the Water Resources Board and Pajan Jipijapa (JRH) with the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (Housing Ministry), it is argued that the emerging transformation is because it requires a "paradigm shift" to have efficient water management, given that in Manabi is invested in water infrastructure around USD 800 million, with poor results, but was seized as booty political "and" plunder "to the province. However

decisions on the one hand, there are no guarantees that it would establish a new model free of corruption; and, secondly, political decisions have serious objections.

In the "Eye of the Storm" is the CRM project and questioned Carrizal-Chone II stage that the managed. In section 19.2 it contextualizes the "Handling detrimental renegotiation Carrizal-Chone project."

19.1.2. Government violates the Law

CRM (Manabi Rehabilitation Centre) and then the CRM (Corporate Average Manabi Water Management) was not an institution created specifically for water management, but now the latter is subject to manipulation by the government of the day. Assemblyman Nilton
Tito Mendoza, with a letter N. 047 of October 1, 2009, came out in defense of the institution, like the Centre for the Development of the Northern Zone of Manabi (DESC).
Mendoza argues that in 1962 the MRC was established by the then President of the Republic by decree Emergency Law after a struggle of many years of all sectors involved in the development of Manabi seen standing neglect and postponement of all governments . Later this Act
was amended and replaced by transforming Corporation Act Regulating Water Management of Manabi, giving full legal life of CRM in the 2,002 issued by the National Congress objected to by the then President Dr. Gustavo Noboa Bejarano, and then known, addressed and resolved the veto by the same Congress at the time. But is this law that is repealed by Decree of October 2009 by President Correa as unconstitutional, says Mendoza.
and notes: the CRM and the DESC never had as its primary objective of water management, but essentially the claim and rehabilitation of Manabi in all its orders, especially in the water field, and clarify, build dams, irrigation systems, potable water systems by re-routing of rivers, construction of embankments, etc., does not mean water management. One thing is what the Constitution says in article 318 and other thing is that logically there must be coordination, which is what they were doing MCA through its law, as well as other major development institution in the north and what is the DESC.
Defending Manabi should focus on that we should not allow two institutions that were created by and for the development Manabi and disappear, with childish excuses and that works great especially in the water field, which Manabi hoped, be overruled by the absorbent centralism once again upon us with the shameful complicity of some Manabi.
Executive Decree No. - 040 is unconstitutional in substance and form, an executive can not be above a Law
