Election City Council of the City of Geneva: Doing What?


Wisard Alexander, Gerard Deshusses Vera Figurek Alexandra Rhys are of the opinion their City Council colleagues, the four best-es councilors and councilors of the City of Geneva, in a ranking, and they themselves, the 80 members of the Board. The City Council, what to do? The four winners in the General classification of the "Tribune" which are four great-es-es municipal councilor-blades (including three of the Alternative), know, and prove they know. The author of these lines is more uncertain with regard to its own presence in this circle and the reasons, motivations, who can be pushed to hire this political mandate ...

Hence I am, where am I, during which I?

This question should not arise during the election campaign, but the question that arise here about the role they may have utility that is thinks he, sitting in a parliament (in this case, a City Council): what to do? Certainly, the function has some perks, opened to a few small bribes, some minor privileges and several thousand francs yearly fees. And if the majority of the parliament (one City Council is one, if not a legislature) we are perfectly indifferent, and some frankly unbearable, we still regret not to sit with some others, whose opinion, the pronouncements, the work important to you, and that sometimes the very person you become expensive ... but then this parliament is still not a club meeting, or the last room where you question (because there is indeed quite bad), it is a place for debate and political decisions. .. worth what they're worth, which are taken after the debate that also are worth what they're worth (or rather as good as those who take part), but sometimes means that incur considerable involve choices can be significant, have a significant impact on the inhabitants and residents of the City. The City Council, what to do? We have reason to reproach us for having a bit slow to ask ourselves, and in fact, have presented our bid before knowing exactly why. After all, nobody forced us to be a candidate. Or to campaign, let alone to go cruising the voter or the voter (in an electoral system of proportional lists, your personal campaigns are also always campaigns to make you pass and your running mate running mates). It is also true that no one forces us to accept our election. The heavy sobs exhausted by their elected officials are responsible to take ... say with a maximum of skepticism: All are volunteers. And almost everyone want their election,-the others were content to wait (impatiently if they regret not having been elected or peacefully if the exercise of their application enough) in the bottom of the stock of "come- Then, as their turn to ask them sitting up on the very uncomfortable seats in the hall of the Hotel de Ville. The City Council, what can I do? But the policy. And the only one worth: not one that lays the law, but one which embodies the rights-that is indeed what makes the difference between the Municipality and the State, everything legitimate the first face in the second especially when the first is left, the second colonized by the right. And so it all that makes the importance of choosing municipal election on 13 March and then a month later. But before being a choice between individuals, this choice is a choice between policies. It is certainly to these policies of men and women to wear them, and they better and they are of the caliber of the four "Winners" of the classification of the "Tribune" but after all, whether we or not the number of elected officials is less important than this number, left and right. The election takes place in proportional representation: the electoral system and have it so, for once, he is right: we chose March 13 to pursue a policy (that of the Alternative) or to abandon it, but we do may abandon it for no other that is worth since there is no alternative to Alternative, no parliamentary majority, nor right nor the extreme right, which in City of Geneva, could replace to that form, if uneasily it can sometimes be, the Socialists, Greens and "A Left Together."

Fifty sections of the SSP asked to return on the party platform

Too far left, really, the PSS?

Fifty sections (Alemannic) Socialist Party of Switzerland, who in the craw of revising the party platform adopted and radicalized during the last congress in Lausanne, the party requesting reopening the discussion on the program . Topping the list of choices to which the right of the SSP would like to return: support for the principle of abolishing the army, support the principle of joining the European Union, the affirmation of the desire to "beyond capitalism" and not just manage it and the socialize ... And all in chorus of whining about a "left turn" of the PSS, which corresponds to our wishes, is still far from being a reality.

A left turn after seventy-five years of right turns .. .

That part of the traditional base of the PS has some difficulty in accepting the choice activists (as the Congress shall be composed, not as representatives of voters, but officials activists, elected by them, and not as representatives of contributing members, but inactive), is a tradition within the PSS. A very old tradition, moreover: when full Great War, the PSS adheres to the views from the pacifist left socialist conferences at Zimmerwald the base does not follow. It does not follow the convention that will decide, as a first step, after the Russian Revolution, to join the PSS to the Third International (although it has also taken to give it up). She never followed this traditional base, the choices left most of congress, and directions of the party. It does not always follow. Nevertheless, these choices have been made at the democratic convention, backed by a majority of delegates of sections that had to decide, prior to the Congress on all proposals, delegates who have received specific voting instructions -or, if they have not received, or if the section does not discuss is that we had specifically dealing with a basic amorphous sections and atonic, not waking up, start, once taken decisions which they could take part and to which they have not been able to take part. And then five minutes let's be serious: what 'left turn PSS "Do we talk about in these sections, the right wing of the party-and in the newspapers? To manifest one's adherence to the principle of the abolition of an outdated institution and parasitic (the army)? from that which would result in the recognition of the obvious that Switzerland, in the heart of Europe would do better to join the European Union rather than to implement decisions without being able to participate? Or even that which would be expressed by the expectation of a "beyond capitalism," and by finding the meaning of a project which alone can justify the existence of a socialist party? If "left turn" it is, it succeeds as a "right turn", since 1937, we are still far from the goal would be to redo the PSS a real socialist party. Even though it meant losing in the first time voters. The commentator explains the time that voters seriously Socialists, alarmed that the PS will be placed to the left of the Greens, have fled "to the Greens or Liberal Party bourgeois democratic" ... but what these voters did not care to vote for the PS? A PS to the left, it pleases necessarily less a country to right a PS right. The question remains what and who could serve well, even in a country on the right, a PS that is no longer left. Of right-wing party and additional redundant, somewhere between the UDC, the HWP, the PDC, the PBD, the Greens and Liberal Evangelicals?

Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria: The army, the people, power

Rais tense, clenching Rais

Now then, responding to the millions of Egyptians and Egyptians shouting (françaoui in Tunis in the text): "releases", "Mubarak said" I remain. " Another moment. As long as he can. And apparently he thinks he can still, at least until the elections. Facing him, a whole people and between power and this movement: the army, financed and equipped for $ 1.3 billion in 2010) by the United States, whose chief of staff is a general pro America. Mubarak remains until the elections? He probably obtained the permission of the army and its guardians.

For Chavez, how Mubarak?

"We are witnessing a real revolution," says the Egyptian writer Alaa Al Aswany: "In every city, every village in Egypt, people are in the streets" to demand not only from Mubarak but also "a real social change", "a new Egypt, just and egalitarian." Mubarak's departure, the army can accept. It can even organize and the cause. But the "real social change? It is indeed a revolution, because that is the awakening of a people, what we are witnessing in Egypt at this time. A revolution that, whatever some commentators write alarmed, has little to do with the Iranian revolution. The Egyptian revolution, which one yet knows how far it will go and get it, is not Islamic (the Iranian revolution was not, moreover, not only before being captured by the Shiite clergy) . And Egypt is not Iran. Islam and Egyptian Sunni Islam is not the Iranian Shia. There is no clergy in Egypt (if not the Coptic clergy, out of the race) to oversee a revolution. And the Muslim Brotherhood have been as much as other opposition forces overwhelmed by a movement they had neither expected nor desired, if they try to start a train that is not theirs.
"Get out," said Egypt's president. "No, not right away," says Mubarak. But this is not because he does not want to leave there will not eventually forced: Tunisia has shown that the head of a regime autocratic, plutocratic and kleptocratic, if the scheme itself, can be reversed. However, Tunisia has also shown that for that to happen, without the revolution to go further we are ready, on the fringes of power and contested in states that sponsor it, to see her go, Army is essentially a key that opens or closes, or ajar, the door of democracy. But since the coup of 1952 that overthrew the monarchy, they are still members who were at the head of the Egyptian State: Naguib, Nasser, Sadat, Mubarak ... And in no country Arab (or Arab-Berber), the army has been gained independence, something other than an instrument of power, when not the power itself. In Algeria, the army seized power (and rent) from the overthrow of Ben Bella. In Tunisia, it has dropped Ben Ali when it was impossible to do otherwise. And the Arab world is not the only victim of the military-or Arab objections the only victims of the illusion that the people are armed with a weapon, and therefore a democratic force. And the Arab armies are not the only objects of this illusion : Mosques were also decked out in a suit far too democratic for them and for the hopes placed in them. Arab armies, no more than any other "regular" army, are not armies of people they are the armies of states, and as long as they want, or they can not do otherwise, the armies powers in place. Perhaps the leaders of the Egyptian army will drop they Mubarak, having found as Alaa El Aswany that "what makes an effective dictatorship, not repression, not the police, is fear of the police ". No doubt the army, whose leaders have called a "legitimate" popular demands, it is now quite happy to be standing between the protesters and police, and she plans to open a transition policy, but beyond this limit, the Democratic ticket is out of date: it may indeed be revolutionaries in the army (but for Chavez, how Mubarak?), it will not make that army a revolutionary army, if it can make the army that shut off the revolution, without crushing, giving him a little, not too much, what it requires: a Mubarak, for example.

The journalist is angry: the National Councilor Antonio Hodgers Green allowed himself to doubt the competence of the journalist. Décaillet had indeed invited, rattle and left without contradiction, a supporter of the dictator of Tunisia Ben Ali at the end of 2009, Leman Bleu. And the minion of kleptocratic had rattle on human rights activist Sihem Bensedrine, who was absent, could not answer directly. And to acknowledge Hodgers Décaillet having " served by the ignorance Tunisian dictatorial regime, "and having" a lack of preparation and knowledge, professional misconduct. " You have no idea: The Journalist accused of "ignorance" and "lack of preparation" and "lack of knowledge", you agree, dear readers stunned by the outreduidance Green, it's almost a crime lese-majeste. Décaillet, at least, is convinced. And cons Hodgers complaint for libel. Because a complaint for blasphemy, he can not, it's no longer a crime in Switzerland. More, or not yet. Law is ungodly. A gadget

Islamist Muslim Central Council of Switzerland (which is apparently central because it may meet in a phone booth Central) held on February 19 a seminar on the theme of "searching for identity Muslim? As dry, UDC jumped at the chance and genius of a crusade pastures off again by proposing that Switzerland have the means to punish the perpetrators of radical preaching. At least if they are Islamists, Ecône can probably rest easy. And with snout snout against the Islamists of DCIS, the UDC will launch a "manifesto Swiss non-Islamic rule "and a press conference outside the headquarters of the Conference of Imams-forgiveness: the Swiss Conference of Bishops. The contest continues bullshit.

Commenting on the state laws and regulations in force in Geneva about the hypothetical election of a Councillor on the web (Islamic or not, for that matter), "The Courier reported that" sit veiled is not prohibited. " No, indeed. Sit naked either. As for Antonio Hodgers, he pointed out elsewhere in Switzerland, as Lucens, veiled women sit with a headscarf. Perhaps, but Lucens is not a religious affirmation is to protect against residual radiation.

The "Julia" tells us, almost a full page shot of the buggery of a UDC Councillor who brandished a gun at his neighbor during an altercation. And states that the police, alerted, found in the municipal councilor in question three pistols, one alarm, ammunition and a carabiner, not stated. If the UDC believes that's how it will withstand CWM, she shoves the bayonet in the ass: Stauffer is also armed ...

According to an audit issued last December, and reviewed by the Parliamentary Committee of management control is a mess at the cantonal directors, chaired the expense of the cantonal department for nearly seven years by the Liberal Mark Muller. We knew, however, such as municipal support, that entrust public managers to Muller, is not a good idea. And it is confirmed: leases established at the head of the customer, and rented apartments at fire sale prices, rents Unclaimed unbilled or even no rent, rent guarantees, state places the entrance / exit, leases, with no deadline, incomplete database, parking at fire sale prices or outright free. .. The cantonal Muller tried to pretend that it was he who had requested the audit, while the Inspectorate of Finance had AutoInput. Afterwards, he tried the trick "is to blame Grobet," then it's been almost twenty years ago is no longer Christian Grobet State Councillor (this is a Christian Democrat who succeeded him. ..) "The fault Grobet" Do you speak ... why not the fault Braillard for that matter?

was found in "Sunday Morning" yesterday, A nice catalog with a bit of everything inside: the Post. With the slogan "The essential is in the mail," and the assurance that most of this a little while essential, can be found at our post office. Now then, the post office sells phones, computers, pizza ovens, plush teddy bears and dolls, toys, flowers, coffee machines and coffee, chocolate, jewelry, DVDs, masks ... and "E"? Nope, still, do not mess about, it's still not the Post Office will deliver mail, right?

In "Dream on" January 27, referring to the popular initiative for a federal minimum wage, we wrote that this initiative was launched by the Union Syndicale Suisse. This is the case, but deserves a little clarification: even if the initiative was launched by the USS, the PS and the Greens were not content to take the train route, as both Presidents national Levrat and Leuenberger, and other prominent socialists and green, are part of the initiative committee, as elsewhere, to the left of the left, Jean-Michel Dolivo is featured in the initiative committee. The PS had given up its launch her own initiative to leave the USS do. In fact, the initiative is co-launched by the Union Syndicale and most of the political left (OE).

"vigors" January 21 is properly before us an example of schizophrenia performed: that of the UDC, which, during the campaign for his initiative for "naturalization by the people" (taxidermy democratic, whatever) had to spread with long, wide and across the danger of potentially massive naturalization of foreign criminals. The practice of naturalization has not changed since the initiative was swept two against one, the danger is always there, and we would have "massive" naturalized potential criminals. Which would thus become Swiss. And subject to military service. And so often held, at the home of a military weapon. Now then, suddenly, the danger of "foreign naturalized potential criminals, "and now armed with an assault rifle, becomes void: to fight the initiative against gun violence, which proposes to no longer allow military weapons to militia members' homes, the UDC asserts that the initiative is "those who pose no security risk: the military militia." Naturalized understood, of course. Ben, Ben would know: they are potentially dangerous or not, foreigners naturalized freshly armed with an assault rifle?

The "Sunday Morning" gives us a very interesting inventory. He filed the bonanza in Switzerland by a few various potentates: Mubarak to 2.4 billion, 2.1 billion for the Jordanian Rifai, 766 million for Bouteflika, Ben Ali to 430 million, 393 million for Gbagbo ... nothing for five miserable, you get more than six billion. Six times the annual budget of the City of Geneva for five people ... You have to admit, it is welcoming. Ungrateful (the latter two funds have been frozen, but not delivered to the people who were robbed), but welcoming.

A list of "identity" of the extreme right was filed in Grand Saconnex, for the election of City Council. With two candidates. Whose spokesman is uncertain Benjamin Perret. With two "r". Phew! The honor of the poet is safe.

The first pre-election poll of the year (GFS poll, taken with the tongs to use, since posting a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points, enough to turn setbacks into progress and advanced setbacks) suggests a shift to the right of voting intentions of the Swiss-sse-Slor federal election in October. Compared to a survey from mid-October, while the political landscape (summarized by pollsters, as regional powers such as the MCG or the Lega do not appear, nor the "left of left," for example) would move to right, with UDC to 29.8 % (+ 0.9 compared to the 2007 elections) and, opposite, a PS 18% (- 1.5). Between the two, the PDC would decline by 1.6 percentage points to 12.9, the Radicals and Liberals merged stagnate at 17.7% and the Greens would shrink to 8.8%. (Minus one point). As for new parties, the Greens Liberals would position itself to 5.2% and the bourgeois party Democratic and 2.6%. The poll, conducted in the wake of the vote on foreign criminals who helped the UDC to make his usual fuss, UDC dominates in rural and urban averages, and in categories of less educated populations, PS in large cities, the PLR by academics and high incomes. In short, Switzerland, already right from roughly a century and a half, is even more right than four years ago, and the left, which since 1919 weighs between one quarter and one third of the votes, never below quarter and never above Third, is found almost a quarter more than a third. Commented pollster Claude Longchamp, and the centrist daily romand "Time": If the PS is declining is that his new program is too far left and scared. Ah Vui, a PS to the left, people like it less for a country to right a PS right, there's a kind of logic in there. The question remains what and who could serve well, even in a country on the right, a PS that is no longer left. Of additional right-wing party? Are you sure you need it, between the UDC, the HWP, the PDC, the PBD, the Greens Liberals, League is the MCG?

Municipal elections in the City of Geneva: Small blackmail between friends of the Alternative

And if we stopped the bullshit?

But then, the Greens (the City and Township) indicated that if the Socialists (the City) were not what they, the Greens (the city and canton), had decided the Socialists (the City) should do is to say abandon one of their seats in the Municipality of Geneva them, the Greens (the City and Canton), would Sonderbund with "Set left "against the Socialists (the City). As if 'Set Left "had nothing better to do: try to make up lost ground in four years in the City and Canton, for example. We hoped that such an ultimatum, slightly presumptuous and not based on any basis other than a political game of musical chairs, will find an echo in PS, chuckling, that he deserves. Both

only messing ...

The left has not yet delivered, what should be its top priority and indeed the only one that that he spends most of our resources, maintaining its majority in the Council of the City (it will at least respect, the majority nor the Agreement or the extreme right being able to exceed the Alternative), it is already to quibble about how much it will candidates are on the list for the Administrative Council, what it-s-es candidate she will if she will list the common or separate lists, so it will present a seat right, if a party claiming an additional seat should try to take his opponents or his allies-brief, good grub big election though indigestible. This is obviously not, we would have suspected, from a substantive political disagreement that takes place year to which the poor engage the Greens and one hardly sees any common position divergent from that of PS could meet Greens and "left of the left" against the Socialists. Regardless, by the way: the fact is that, unable to resurrect an "agreement" obsolete past four years ago with one of the candidates are Socialists, the Greens are considering an alliance with "Set Left" against the PS, the objective being to beat more then the right, or to keep majority Administrative Council nor for the Greens to win a seat. but to punish the Socialists for having the nerve to win a seat at the executive four years ago, and want to keep it. The "2007 agreement" implied in fact no one party has to give up a seat he already holds, and the exercise would be utterly absurd, that would be to ask the Socialist Party to engage in an election campaign with the goal of losing a seat, demobilization strategy for its own electorate and his own ambition to defeat, just to satisfy a partner relating to a candidate who already has little chance of being elected on a common list, and would do practically no longer on separate lists. Of the five seats in the Municipalities of Geneva, two are practically out of reach of anyone other than their current owners, Sandrine Salerno and Rémy Pagani. One can also venture to bet that Pierre Maudet, borne by the entire Agreement, has all the cards to be reelected if the Alternative gathers on a single list by leaving a place (where it has five nominations, the suspense becomes real) given the weakness of one of two nominations green, that of the liberal candidates and political vacuity of the PDC application. This leaves two seats, coveted by five or seven candidates: a socialist (which is claiming that the maintenance of an already registered Socialist), a Green, whose profile political and social practice, it will certainly get the support of the electorate to the left, a Green (who claims a seat for the Greens, but intends to rob the PS and not to the right, is likely to call this second Socialist candidate for the House Geneva real estate, private bankers and sunbathers Kazakhstan), a liberal (who thinks he can recover the lost Liberal seat four years ago, but his party as the rope supports a hanged) and PDC (who thinks he can get the seat Christian Democrat lost twenty years ago by accumulating "gifts" from the right to financial affairs). Besides the possible applications of the UDC gesticulatoires and CWM. Now the City of Geneva, the right can get a seat if the left is stupid enough to let him and his three-components stupid enough to contest the seats they already have, rather than unite to defend them, or even win one more, but on the opponent, not the best. Being able to move rather than waiting for others recede, is it too much to ask? Being able to fight to gain seats in the right rather than its allies, is expecting too much? We'll know on March 13 at night (or 14 at dawn), when the general meetings of Socialists and Greens have adopted their positions. And then we hope we will not have to ask (and answer in the affirmative) only if both messing around, it does not deserve to go, frankly, to the end, in joy and good humor of mocking a mess coruscant.

Venice Carnival: the Flight of the Angel

Yesterday Sunday, February 27, 2011, 80,000 people attended the "Flight of the Angel", an extraordinary piece of bravery that is for the person selected by the organizers of the Carnival of Venice to descend along a rope from the top of the Campanile up to climb the podium at the foot of the Correr Museum in the bottom of Piazza San Marc. This year the lucky winner was Silvia Bianchini Mary was crowned in 2010. Silvia had to wear during his descent from a jacket to 12 meters long and decorated with colors of Venice's Lion of San Marco. The excess of wind forced organizers to abandon the wearing of cloak, deemed too dangerous. It is dressed in a silk suit XIX mind that Silvia has made its descent to the cheers and encouragement from the crowd. Ex-Marie not impressed by the height (about 100 m high) was even permitted to interpret an aerial ballet with grace. Arrival at ground she told us she was not afraid but was very moved to see this huge crowd watching her. She added: "I am very grateful to the Carnival of Venice after winning me at Mary's 2010 I chose this year to be the Angel." And it's so true that Silvia is an angel of kindness and grace!

little buzz around a veiled candidate: The veil, confusion, amnesia

A green City Council candidate Vernier wears an "Islamic" ... Nice stunt, but what behind? of confusion and amnesia. Confusion, first, between individual freedom and a religious proclamation transformed into political proclamation. Or choose to wear the veil is merely a choice of dress, aesthetic, choosing an outfit, an appearance and there was nothing more to say on the choice of wearing pants whose size is somewhere between the knee and the talus, or it is a religious choice that does not to clutter the political space because the bulky, the parasite and it adds confusion to an already confused between the general political and religious. It is true that in a time when the extreme right is dressed in garb of secularism, religious alienation would be wrong not to make up color left. And then there's amnesia, in this stunt. Because it should be right well to remember that these are women and only women, to whom the order to veil, to cover, s'empaqueter ...

Nihil sub sole novi

Whether a candidate is converted into heroin concealed in the multicultural tolerance, and that all his speeches we retain only the veil she wears is not so much scandalous distressing. In itself, the veil is indeed no more Islamic than Christian or Jewish: it is first and above all patriarchal. There are two generations ago, all over the Mediterranean, social prescription that was the hair-covered women is a veil, a shawl, a hat, whatever as long as it covers. And until the Great War, a woman emerging bareheaded, "human hair" was either a whore or a revolutionary, even when they consented to make the difference between the two. And it came from far back millennia, and an old male anxiety, fueled by the desire to leave a legacy to their offspring and not that of his wife's lover. And so Mr. Mrs. locked, physically, symbolically, socially, to ensure that children are well Madame his kids to him, sir. Especially boys. Locking up women, or at least remove their face in relation to other men: It was this order that another justification, trivial, that he had actually religions have them filled. This means the role of watchdog of social order, even more than the moral, the religious prescription (or rather the requirement to social religious pretext) plays when she can. Religion is only pathology, alienation, folklore, if it produced bubble and continuous fatwas standards and had the claim, and sometimes the power to impose them. 40,000 people protested in Lahore (Pakistan) to support the murderer of a provincial governor who had voted for the repeal of the law punishing with death on blasphemy ... This power, Christianity has in our region, lost. Islam, not yet. And other religions, not more (Independence, India proscribed the Hindu caste system: it's still there ...). But these regulations have no weight if no one voluntarily adhered. This means that there is bondage volunteer in the claim by women to these requirements as theirs. That compliance is voluntary patriarchal traditions do not change their meaning, except to further increase the pressure on those to whom they are imposed-pressure which immigrants are the first victims: the return consistently to their ethnic origins and religious deprive it of any real possibility of finding them other than they have been handed down, often by patriarchal social and cultural systems which, precisely, they denied any autonomy, and any right to define themselves. But even this view, prohibit the veil, hijab, niqab or burqa as a fashion dress "contrary to our way of life," and, by definition, do not prohibit women only, since ' alone are packaged, would not be much better than forcing them to wear it done elsewhere. So we have to resist two temptations, contradictory, but also comfortable enough: that of j'men-care less ironic, and that of our own fundamentalism. Or, to adorn a little more glorious references, those we take to the Voltaire of the Calas Case without having the genius, or take us to Saint-Just, without having the courage. It is in this fight against religious alienation as others: if the left the desert, it does not come whining that the far right seized it, by not only against leading religious alienation competitor of the one, chance, we have inherited in our region ... A Green verniolane takes the veil? The PDC is considering taking up the cross as its emblem? Let us read The Nun Diderot ...

Financing political parties and electoral campaigns: Constrain to transparency?

It would be better, no doubt, have no need to force the political parties, especially those on the right since it is they who are unwilling to do the most, the transparency of their funding and that of their election campaigns ... Encourage them by example? That is what the PS City has done on Friday by posting his campaign budget, other parties can not decently well, at election time, shirk (although some have still found a few tricks to underestimate their expenses, and that others have flatly said anything it is true that those we have used). The same evening, the Grand Council passed a law on financing political parties, but a law that does not leveled their election expenses, and thus leaves to the invisible hand of a "free market policy" which, logically, transforming democracy merchandise. And a law which, incidentally, we never change, the right has managed to slip a new gift tax, the sponsors of his own party this time.

War of nerves around the sinews of war

By publishing its election budget, funded exclusively by contributions of its members and its elected officials, the SP City urged other parties, and forced some of them to do so. The figures given by each other, however, must be taken with extreme caution if they set the Greens and the left are perfectly credible, as the financing of these two formations based on the same basis as that of the PS City (the contributions of elected officials and members), and that neither the one nor the other are small or large gifts from sponsors interested in a return on investment, this is not the case for parties Agreement, nor, even less, of the UDC Pinocchios and CWM-two formations differing in their responses to the press, by a remarkable skill in the spreading of smoke .. In addition, for municipal elections, several parties merge their cantonal and municipal budgets, some (UDC the Liberals) did not even have the section of the City of Geneva it is true that they abhor the City to the point that the existence in their own structures must seem obscene. In short, when the Tribune de Geneve reported that "the conquest City of Geneva "will cost $ 1 million and a half to throw parties in it, it is probably far off. The PS has announced its budget: CHF 350'000 for the campaign of the two municipal elections, the City Council and Administrative Council campaigns financed by the previous municipal election results, since by the contributions of elected officials (those members fund the functioning of the party, outside election campaigns). Greens announce half, set to left four times less. And the liberal-radical pretends to be surprised, "the PS is as rich as we "... before admitting that in fact it is much richer, since in the 350,000 francs he confessed to his campaign budget to the City Council added at least 80,000 francs and 30,000 francs Subject to the Administrative Council ... But the most exemplary case is the PDC of the City, and its candidate for the Administrative Council, sponsored by the community estate. Michael Chevrolet received "personally" donations for at least (this is just the number he admits) 120,000 francs, in addition to the budget of the party providing it. The candidate of the Geneva Chamber estate ensure that a beautiful settings estate provided only half of his little mattress election "personal", which is already considerable, and that "these restraints do not affect (his) campaign," nobody, not even he, no one believes. And CVP, which is the smallest party in the City Council, who has the fewest voters, and finds himself with the biggest electoral budget (450,000 francs, at least) behind the Liberal-fused radicals, and ahead of the first party of the City, the PS ... It is true, and healthy, that election results do not totally depend financial resources involved in election campaigns, and are still in large part the result of commitments activists: four years ago, to port has spent less than 30,000 francs to elect Rémy Pagani Administrative Council. But it is also true that the commodification of politics leads to totally distort the democratic debate-why the right is stubbornly refusing to cap election spending, and if she agrees (except the SVP, which relies on sponsors) to receive public money, it is not to waive the windfall privately it benefits, any more than its sponsors hear renounce political return on investment they expect. Chevrolet is not financed by any media property. A committed board, it is paid. And it pays off.

In reading the final list submitted to the municipal elections in Geneva, it is observed that the City of Geneva, the MCG has established its list by the garbage of other parties: a former president (UDC Pardo, the author of the memorable campaign on the "scum of Annemasse "), A former Green (Menoud, which did not appear to have been recovered from boxer David Hiller), a former liberal (Magnin, which we imagine it should not make her bed without checking if a beggar is romany have hidden below), a former socialist (Sormann, which was already very stupid when he was a socialist who has not improved since), a former Christian Democrat (Engelberts pier Bid PDC Administrative Council for a dark story of dough) ... and we must forget ... Also noteworthy is the proportion of attractive women on the list Liberals green: zero% ... This allows us to greet the passage of parity or the majority of women on lists of the Alternative ... and snicker over a quarter of women on lists UDC and MCG (indeed it's funny: it's the same proportion of women in the tombs of the cemetery of the kings graves alike should come together-and ) ... and finally there is the frantic search by the UDC's notable cantonal (Nydegger, Bertinat, Pagan) by the UDC to place on its list to try to resist the thrust of the list announced Ochsner-MCG.

Saturday afternoon, the Sputnik, has created the Geneva branch of the party geeks, the Pirate Party, formed in Switzerland in 2009, with the program monomaniacal freedom of the internet. But nothing else. Nothing in particular, on housing, mobility, taxation, cultural policy, social policy, international solidarity, immigration. Nothing, therefore, what we require in the places where we sit. The "Pirate Party" had until Monday to submit a list in municipal elections Geneva. He did not. It will perhaps for this fall's federal, if it happens to develop a program. Otherwise, it still has two years to present a program for district elections. In case he has something interesting to say and offer once out of their trip computers.

The 'Cooperation' of last week we balance a Link Institute poll on "do you already know who you will vote" in federal elections this fall. And we said that such survey was conducted "from a representative population of 518 persons." Representative What this population? buddies pollsters? because although we will explain how a small sample may also be representative of anything other than the will of the pollsters to make us bladders for lanterns.

Greens Carouge, Lancy and the City of Geneva proposes to create a foundation to support the inter-boundary PAV (Praille-Acacias-Vernets) the creation of low income housing (cooperatives) and the realization of public infrastructure. That in itself is a good idea and worth sustained. But on one condition and a restriction condition is that, given the magnitude of the project PAV, the future and still very possible inter foundation should be submitted to a real democratic control, and not left running technocratic the restriction is that cooperatives are accessible only to those who can afford to pay a share of the cooperative-ordinator, and are accepted as such-es. And therefore, they exclude categories of people who are hardest to lack of housing. And must therefore find ways and means, necessary for housing that will be created on the PAV are given priority to those who need it most-and least able to access it. Two elected

UDC were attacked (well, a politician and a car elected) in Zurich and Geneva, January 21: National Councillor Hans Fehr was beaten by "autonomous" in Zurich, and Geneva's car the president of the local UDC, Celine Amaudruz was sacked. Surely once the MCG. UDC and complained of suffering "an increase in violence against our stands and, more recently, against our members. " Even this is unfair because the UDC, her all she is irenic, has never been aggressive against anyone, has never designated scapegoats, has vowed never to his opponents Gemoniae , has never been in the provocation, in short, has always been a correction, an elegance and an incomparable softness. Moreover, as it is attached to Christian values, if it gets a slap on the right cheek, she extends her left cheek. If she has one.

Christmas Slogan For Tanning

Venice is magical. In addition to our eyes ecstatic offfrir its magnificent facades, alleys colored cartoons of campos, its light changing every hour of the day and the seasons, skies extraordinary Venice regales us with his double in anamorphic reflection its channel and its banks. Venice is a painter whose palette explodes in his veins, creating patterns and colors worthy of the best impressionists. One knows the cry of Monnet in 1908 "is too good to be painted!". Fortunately, he made 37 paintings. Others were also inspired by his reflections: Turner, Manet, Renoir, Sargent, Prendergast, Signac, and many others. And for photographers, whether amateur as I am, it's always a pleasure, because in that moving water, the result was never expected that, even reserving often very pleasant surprises.
