The political-economic elite, a small group of cronies


says José Manuel Naredo in democracy that parties make gestures and promises the people to get enough votes to govern and when elected are ingratiating themselves with the economic and business elites (Highlights of the political cycle.'s Office. 11/01/1911.) Successful statement with which we communicate clearly. On January 10th, we had a proof, one more, that indicated by Professor Naredo happens in reality. Discreetly that day gathered heavyweights CC and PSOE leadership with major employers in the Canary Islands and Tenerife in particular (CC, PSOE and discuss possible business deals. Diario de Avisos. 01/13/2011) . A meeting may be interpreted as a reprint, regional and local level, the forum held during the month of December between the national government and the 30 most influential English business. Is this another of the pathways and connections between politics and economics, characteristics of these times. A real miserable time and loss of values \u200b\u200b(especially public) where politics and the economy are mixed, the seeds of corruption and that some ex-presidents and top political leaders to ensure an economic future juicy ( González y Aznar charged € 80,000 of the state, in addition to their salaries private. The World. 13/01/1911)

As indicated in the journalistic report, the meeting initiative arises from a group of friends, which include business and not employers, who meet every Monday . If this is true, the surprise is capitalized and reinforces the view that the business and much of the Canarian politicians are not more than a handful of cronies, closed and opaque to call each other when they discuss the need their little affair, which in reality are all of us. Really unfortunate. We believe in freedom of each agent or institution to meet with anyone and deemed appropriate but democratic virtues should be guided by the values \u200b\u200bof classical political easily recognizable by all, the fight against injustice, inequity, combating social inequality, respect for the public and the creation of community values, etc. With this type of behavior, in some sense accepted uncritically by society, contributes to the debasement of democracy and the current policy is to chase away those classical values. Surprise

the time of this meeting has not even begun when the fundraising. But the smart citizens understand that in politics nothing happens by chance. Serve to quarantine all electioneering harangues with which the political propaganda of each party will bomb us shortly. However, it is inevitable to ask why a meeting with the entrepreneurs alone? The islands' economy depends not only on the activity of the companies that run those present at the meeting. On what projects or business issues has been discussed? Political leaders are public officials should be involved to the rest of society of what is said at that meeting. Can we infer from this meeting the crease of the socialists to the demands of employers on the island for the excuse of employment, the main slogan of the PSOE in his primary campaign? Why not repeat the same encounter with social groups that many claims have been made to parliament and the Canarian government, through legal and democratic channels as the ILP, so often rejected? Would not it be a real exercise of democratic quality, mood, and ability to reach consensus? Should we infer from this meeting, a rapprochement between the formation of CC and the PSOE? At what levels? In the previous legislature PP and CC made a pact before the election results were autonomous public Can you interpret this meeting as a tacit agreement? Have you already given the ministries? Are these businessmen who finance campaigns electoral and political groups together? If so should go public, would help to uncover this sham democracy.

In his latest book, Tony Judt (Something's wrong. 2010. Ed. Taurus) tells us that the idea that capitalist economies work better in conditions of freedom, is a more questionable than we think because Capitalism is a system that has adapted to dictatorships of left and right, monarchies and social democracy (p. 141). Moreover, the historian argues that the fall of communism in 89 should not be interpreted as intervention or state planning are negative actions (p. 142). So his book is an attempt to return to revalue the public and usually ultimately the community against individualism and self-interest at present is the norm and is the basis of the current crisis. Are doing disservice to democracy and the public attitudes how are you, with the aggravating factor that directly promoted by the political class itself. They have not lost the time to ingratiate himself with the business class. We should ask whether the true democracy, that it pursues the traditional political values, is feasible in a market economy context.
