The book ‘Agujeros del sistema. Más de 300 asesinatos de ETA sin resolver’ has just been released. It has been written by the journalist and communications director of the Association of Victims of Terrorism (COVITE), Juanfer F. Calderín. If–as Maite Pagazaurtundúa notes in the preface–the book by Florencio Dominguez, Rogelio Alonso and Marcos Garcia Rey, ‘Vidas rotas’ (Espasa Libros, 2011), marked a turning point in the effort to make all victims of ETA fully visible, this book is largely a continuation of that work, complemented and refined by the notion that the suffering caused by the terrorist group to its victims and those who were responsible for them must be confronted squarely.
‘One of the Kouachi brothers had received twenty thousand US dollars to carry out an attack, albeit not in Paris but in Yemen, where he had travelled in 2011. Al-Qaeda ordered the attack, but did not coordinate its execution at a military level’ ‘Out of 49 “Jihadist plots” in Europe between 2008 and 2013, the terrorists were not able to kill in 47, due to their own incapability, or because they were arrested. This information offers rather an efficient image of security services’ ‘The jihadist threat is difficult to deal with, not only by the French intelligence but by intelligence services worldwide. The United States included’ ‘In the language of militant jihadists, Westerners are “monstrous creatures” with whom they must avoid any contact to preserve their...
News agency dispatch from Thursday 11 December, 2014: ‘Hong Kong police begun clearing today, after more than two months of occupation, the Admiralty site, the central district of the city, where thousands of people camped beside the seat of the local government demanding true democracy in the former colony.’ A couple of things about the so-called ‘Umbrella Revolution’ – the students demanding democracy and universal suffrage in Hong Kong protected themselves from tear gas fired by the police with umbrellas: hence the name – are worth noting: first, the actions of the People's Republic of China with regard to domestic policy; second, a ‘Manual of disobedience’ that could have consequences in the People's Republic of China. First things first.
/14.01.15/.- La revista Cuadernos de Pensamiento Político, editada por FAES y dirigida por su secretario general, Javier Zarzalejos, publica este mes su número 45. Entre los artículos incluidos destacan el Javier Zarzalejos sobre la reforma en clave federal que “algunos desean para España”; el del profesor Rogelio Alonso sobre los peligros para la seguridad de España provenientes del terrorismo yihadista y otro de Alessandro Orsini sobre “la red conceptual” del ISIS y la educación yihadista.
Durante el último año la inflación se ha elevado sustancialmente en España. El IPC crece al 3,5%, frente al 2,2% de hace un año; el deflactor del PIB, lo hace a cerca del 5%; la inflación subyacente sube a casi el 3%. El diferencial de inflación con la eurozona es de 1,4 puntos, frente a los 0,5 puntos de hace un año. El cáncer inflacionista produce pérdida de competitividad de la producción española y se va a traducir en menor crecimiento y menor empleo. La causa principal de la inflación excesiva no es el choque de oferta petrolífero, sino la política económica del Gobierno: la política presupuestaria, demasiado expansiva en el actual contexto monetario de la eurozona, y la ausencia de reformas estructurales, que limita el crecimiento potencial de la economía española.
