Let me start from the beginning. In August 2007, the station made a contract of employment as a journalist and a representative for co-operation with the foreign media. The situation seemed to be good company. Television moved to a new and modern establishment. Journalistic team increased by a further two people, at a range of emissions was Sulechów, the program was growing richer. But in the second half of the last company began missing money. Salaries are paid with a long delay, and to do so in installments. At the end of January this year., When discussing the plan, president and shareholder at the same time Luke Kotalla suddenly asked me whether the administration would agree to take over cable. Sam has found another job. Claimed that financial problems are temporary stations, and long do not exceed 30 thousand. pln! I thought that the annual income of 700 thousand. PLN, the debt can be overcome simple treatments. It agreed to. In February, the president was a single board of directors. After three weeks of przekopywania for documents, for staff and external accounting firm engaged, asked shareholders to inform them that almost stopped completely, the company to repay its liabilities to the tax office and ZUS. For many months have not been repaid debts to banks, the owner of the premises, as well as other contractors. Employees do not receive salaries, because the bank accounts are blocked by bailiffs. Including the debt was more than 460 thousand. €. Cable can be saved only by its rapid recapitalization. Have begun talks with potential buyers. It was difficult to predict the effect of these negotiations, and I could not wait. In accordance with the law, I had only two weeks for the submission of an application to the court for bankruptcy. Made him the first time April 7 this year., Even though already very advanced talks.
However, you withdrew the application?
- Yes. Day later phoned me Zbigniew Kuchma. Announced that together with his son Adam took out shares in the company. I asked if I have to be and still manage the cable. I heard that, as people who do not have any knowledge about the functioning of the media, they are even necessary. The television will wpadał as far as possible, Adam, on behalf of shareholders who will supervise the financial activities of the company. It soon was followed by capital injections. On Easter Friday Zbigniew Kuchma paid into the account the amount of a telemarketer, which enabled me to pay the salaries of current and outstanding. Comments ucichły crews. After the festivities began with a meeting with creditors. Accompanied by a lawyer Kuczmów spoke of social insurance, and two U.S. banks. I’ll set date for repayment of debt from Polish television, which has nearly a year zalegała cable with a fee for the license granted to the relationship with the professions żużlowych. A lawyer at the time negotiated the arrangement with the owner of “Topazu” where was the seat of the new television. The majority of creditors agreed to conclude the arrangement. Only the U.S. debt and social security to be repaid in full and as soon as possible. Kuczmowie found that this is not for them, no problem. They asked, so I withdrew the application for bankruptcy. I believed that it could be good.

Almost all of the allegations involve the construction of the Academic Medical Center – ponadtysiącłóżkowego hospital, which was formed at the border of Zabrze and Gliwice. He had to stand next to modern educational and scientific purposes. With ambitious plans, but not anything out, because the government did not give money for the construction of the hospital.

A few years later it became clear that he was worth only half that amount, but the university relied on the purchase only at the bank’s calculations, not who contracts his own expertise.
Meanwhile, a year after zaciągnięciu credit and purchase a new seat in the academy began to huge financial problems. The school covers only loss ACeMed, which has set up to drive the construction of the hospital (for her became the head of Adam S.). Do not pay, however, neither firms that worked on the construction or the bank from which the money borrowed for the purpose. Finally, to meet the claims of creditors zniecierpliwionych, the ŚAM progressed to breaking the law on public finances: take kilkumilionowe “loan” from the college accounts and the social fund financed by the Government of Switzerland of the “Mother and Child”.
All of these reported by the newspaper “the matter became the subject of an investigation initiated four years ago by the District Prosecutor’s Office in Katowice.

Only in those areas this year, a total budget will shrink by more than 1.4 billion zlotys. The cuts would be the most science of finance will be lower by more than 12 percent. Yesterday on the draft amendments to the budget, the Senate worked.
In the current budget law for 2009 has been teaching at 4.95 billion zlotys. After the crisis cuts ordered by the government this amount will be reduced by 605 million zlotys. Only on the activities of registered grants and investment units of their own scientific and research institutions of higher education the government has decided to save over 239 million zlotys. Less money is also for research projects in the field of defense (about 160 million PLN) and the National Center for Research and Development (about 140 million). Researchers will receive less money on international scientific cooperation, scientific and technical assistance (about 39 million). Szczuplejszy 25 million budget will be earmarked for activities in support of research.
The cuts, though at a lesser scale, also affect higher education. Here, the planned expenditure for this year of 9.45 billion the government wants to save over 267 million zlotys. Reduced funding will be teaching public school (40 million), to 30 million less will go to investments in higher education. – This leaves a number of investments, including 25 million was taken off of the flagship investment is the expansion of the Campus Restoration of 600-anniversary of the Jagiellonian University.

Less money will also be on the education and upbringing. With more than 35 billion zlotys for the financing of education has removed more than 571 million zlotys. As part of the resort decided to cancel the savings from changes to subsidize the education system conducted in conjunction with the reduction of school age (cutting about 307 million). – These funds were needed for the preparation of education to adopt sześciolatków. If a member resigns from the ministry of education of the money, that is, admitted that the failure of this project. Only that the children will suffer for those parents who chose to send children to school earlier – Mr Mountain said.
Transferred the funds reserved for safety in schools to finance the operation of schools at embassies and consulates of the Republic of Poland. The cuts in education will also cover the central purchasing of school buses – a program which was originally earmarked 12 million, is to be completely stopped. Less money will be earmarked for the purchase of textbooks, including for the blind and disabled students (about 1.5 million U.S. $) or to international cooperation and exchange of school children and adolescents (0.7 million). Resort by 1 million less to allocate to support the integration of foreigners in the Polish education system, to half a million zlotys less will be spent on funding a national children’s summer vacation. – You can see that this government very easily come to save our children and students. I hope that both children, parents, and students do not forget the lessons of government financial and political ignorance bezczelności – Artur Gorski added.

The education loan debt among college students have grown relatively slowly over the past four years, although in some cases are excessive, according to a study by the College Board.
According to the organization, which advocates increased access to higher education, although the amount of accumulated debt of students in private universities and public four years has had a slow growth between 2003 and 2008 in some sectors such as private debt has increased rapidly.
The report “How Much Are College Students Borrowing?” (How much are students borrowing) analyzes data from the Study of Post-Secondary Student Aid (NPSAS) of the Department of Education United States.
“Give it a moderately responsible for paying for college, but students should consider what they expect to earn when they graduate and may make the required monthly payments,” said Sandy Baum, an author of the report released this week .
Among the university who completed an educational program with a debt in the period 2007-2008 saw an increase of 54 percent in 2003-2004 to 59 percent in 2007-2008, according to the study.
In the period 2007-2008, 39 percent of all university students and at least 54 percent of those who attend college full time had a loan for studies.
The report also found that students who earned a high school diploma were those who were more likely to rely on an education loan to finance their studies compared to other students.
Between 2007 and 2008 at least 66 percent of students who graduated with a bachelor’s degree, among whom 62 percent were loans and 33 percent had loans from the private sector.

The Social Pact defines a consensus among the signatories to establish ways to ensure the expanded reproduction of capital appropriate to the characteristics of the economy and society of the Canary Islands.
Defined broadly, the ways for the development of capitalism in the Canaries, ensuring profitability and maintenance of hegemonic dominance of the big bourgeoisie. Ah, the holy profit, it will be argued to death!
And most importantly, the Social Pact, established the social norms that make it possible to define new pathways that allow the oligarchy in the Canaries back the capitalist crisis, proposing new forms of economic arrangement, which, in turn, Canarian capital expansion to new markets, such as Africa.
It is therefore necessary to give us the keys that define this new era of class struggle in the Canaries, for, from the perspective of the working class, to undertake the necessary buildup of forces to begin the path of national liberation and class of the Canarian people. To do this, PCPC since we want to show our contribution.
Starting with the analysis of the document of the Social Pact
In Part One, on “actions and reforms in the short and medium term in the Canaries’ economy”, we find some “small babuchas:
on pg. 7 under the heading “Promotion of consumption and savings are:
Reducing a 30% yield calculated on a modular objective estimation for professionals for the purposes of income tax. ”
Create a savings account canaria for subscription of securities issued by the Comunidad Autónoma Canaria, Canary local corporations or their companies or autonomous bodies and corporations domiciled in the Canary Islands, so that the allocations to the account involves a reduction of taxable income tax up to 90% ”
“Establishing an autonomous quota deduction of the income tax for those taxpayers who have been unemployed for over 6 months in the same fiscal year.”
“Extending the period of compensation for tax losses to income tax in 10 years.”
Clearly, we will reduce the state income tax for those modules (if it is not just employees). Still, in case you still have something to declare, open an account where he will sign PUBLIC DEBT CANARIA, we will have to pay CANARIA entire population for years, with their interests, in which employers and powerful who wish may fit the circle: can put the money in the personal income tax to be forgiven in the previous line – how that will encourage the use or creation of jobs – and may be tax deductible AGAIN most of that money.
To hide a little, apparently, in the two measures that seem to underscore that we think of the unemployed: they deduct the fee for over 6 months of unemployment – is still so money would have to pay anything? , are you going to come out positive – and be allowed to compensate the negative over 10 years (it is assumed that more time will not be necessary, it is certain to die of starvation during 10 years earlier if not returned to work).
On pg. Next, under the Promotion of liquidity, we find the following pearls:
“Pursuant to Art. 22 … requires the Official Credit Institute to open an online loan mediation with preferential interest rates to finance investments in fixed assets by small and medium enterprises situated in the Canaries. ”
“Accelerate and ease the procedures for splitting and deferral of tax debts to the tax administration canaria.
“Zoom in 15 million euro line of re-endorsement for operations within less than 36 months … to complement up to 75% of those financing transactions entered into by SMEs located in the Canaries.”
“Endorse a maximum of 15 million and up to 75% … to meet the financial obligations arising from loans and credits granted by credit institutions to meet the financing needs of capital for all those domiciled in SMEs Canary. ”
“Endorse a maximum of 10 million euros and 75% operations modification or replacement of loans and credits aimed at extending the term operations subscribed by SMEs located in the Canaries.”
“Increase the allocations to the fund of technical provisions and the cost of subsidies to guarantee a mutual guarantee canary.”
We start with a preferential line of credit for fixed assets, or anything to do with creating jobs. Let us hope that this might not help as I did in the past, our guys are not buying luxury cars or invest in the brick! Or is it too much to hope?
Then we see that our beloved Treasury business and it allows them to defer to its split-your-convenience with her debts. The same, mismito, which makes everyone else ….
And for the banks and not think too much when our kids ask them some milloncitos, all of us – or who think that makes the rooms – assume those debts. But it is a limit of EUR 15 million, come on, who asked not to your bank for a loan of more than two billion of the old pesetas? ¡FUTESAS!
Logically, if you have previous loans, they also support the extension in time and their money, but we must get serious and just be done with loans below 10 million. Nothing more than 1660 million old pesetas, not going to believe that everything is oregano.
We must recognize that these measures it should promote liquidity of SMEs: the money we make! Correct: assume!
Then (pp. 9 to 12) on “Enhancing the Business Environment:
Apply the urgent public interest in certain works contracts and public works concession. ”
“Streamlining and improving the procedures necessary to implement as possible from the Law on Urgent Measures for the Promotion Planning and Sector Management of Tourism.”
“Develop a strategic program of priority investments or letter in order to boost investment through forms of public-private partnerships in the field of communication infrastructures (ports, airports, roads), tourism (hotel and rehabilitation of tourist spaces) energy (hydraulic and renewable energy) and social.
“Reformulation of the Economic and Fiscal Regime of the Canary Islands.”
“Promoting an agreement with local authorities to enable the adoption in a predetermined period of the various urban development plans are pending approval, with solutions and exceptional temporary pending final approval from them.”
As we see urgently approve the contract work, as I assume the port of Granadilla, among others, and drive-cement as we do not stop milongas environmental or health and interest of a “public” than our brick and pirates their adláteres. And if necessary, that municipalities and other local side-approved provisionally by the Finnish-language all licenses until they can be managed official papers look good it says “pending final approval from them.” Do not leave room for doubt that will be adopted at the end!
Following this review, we are at pp. 12 and 13 with the heading “Improvement of public finances.” Listen:
“Request the Government of Spain’s financial resources arising from the abolition of the tax on traffic Enterprises (ITE) to subsidize the corporate share to Social Security.
Create a fund from State and local government.
Increasing the amount of guarantees for SMEs to finance capital. ”
“Promoting a plan to increase the productivity associated with the quality and efficiency in the field of public sector.”
The first step to highlight is clear: ask Dad to make the state money it would forgive the tax on employers to subsidize their other expenses and can vouch.
The other is the cryptic way in which they conducted under the guise of productivity, outsourcing of public services to fill the pockets of the buddy of the private sector.
In the “Create a favorable climate for business (pp. 14 and 15):” Remove all tape, simplifying all those processes that pose a drag on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial. ” “Encouraging competition and functioning of goods and services in the territory of the archipelago.” More of the same. And remember that the same formulation (promoting competition and the proper functioning of goods and services) started things as lovely as the Bolkestein directive and aggressive articles against workers, primary cause of the rejection when they are well-informed to so-called “European Constitution”.
“Actions on the training and education, we find:
Reorient public spending on education to the most basic levels of education.
Support the allocation and use of information technology and communication in schools.
Foster collaboration and synergies between the university and the business sector.
We see how, despite the statements of our fatwas alleged heroes, the educational level of workers in general-is-so unfortunate that it begins to be a problem to use them productively. Yet still the idea ¿? that, although not read or write, having a “personal computer” by primitive, is the “most” to have the best students. And, not to miss, that the university investigate and explore what-me-me interested businessman, yes, with public money.
At pp. 16 and 17, under employment action are:
“To subsidize the costs of Social Security to formalize a business contract practice graduates, graduates and graduates in vocational training in the Canaries.”
“Encouraging greater functional and geographical mobility in the labor market.”
“Enhancing the permutation of overtime employment of a structural nature.”
“Urging the Government of Spain to the economic expansion to the unemployed, strengthening the level of contributory and welfare benefits through the modification and relaxation of the requirements for access to them, within the existing budgetary constraints.”
I do not know you, but I find it curious, to subsidize the debt and loans for SMEs are exempt from a lot of taxes, we see that it enjoys paying social security in the “garbage contracts,” although of course here were not named, as we saw earlier have already been approved for financial aid or seek to refinance loans and requires workers to give up overtime to supplement their inadequate salaries and usually change their place of work – off the island of residence even -. In contrast to increase aid to the unemployed to the central state and only if you can! Curious!
Continuing the analysis on “primary sector” (pp. 18 and 19):
“It is absolutely necessary to preserve the agricultural, livestock and fisheries … promoting competitiveness, industrialization, commercialization and internationalization of the primary sector … introduce new lines or redefine aid depending on the available budget of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries … Promoting the consumption of agricultural products, livestock and fisheries developed in the Canaries. ”
Do not you called me as a care-of “preserving the activity” combined with “internationalization of the primary sector, as well as help lines are not equipped, as before, with fixed amounts, but “depending on budget availability? Does not sounds like a milonga?
I was stunned, on the other hand, when I read the page. 21 “to enhance the maritime sector, especially construction and ship repair. Will I be stupid? And I thought this had to be taken shipyards. Anyway …
On pg. 25 meeting as follows:
“Reclaiming the passenger so that in 2011 the total grant to residents of the capital island not reach 70% of the amount.”
“100% offset the cost of inter-island transport of goods between the islands capital and not capital.”
Two things: first, the passengers who study, work or pleasure, traveling between Gran Canaria and Tenerife! That Zurza!. On the other is still seems odd that the grant of the goods and is now 100% (in the silver, free total), while for people to be progressive, with a date of 2011, and it’s 70% up!
Introduced in the second, on “Measures to improve the quality and effectiveness of employment policies” (pp. 27 to 39) we read:
“The SCE (System Canario de Empleo) agreements with the Employers and Trade Union members of the General Job … organizations to assume the status of “cooperating entities Canarian Employment Service.” To sign agreements to be multi-annual and will provide a stable and sufficient funding to cover the costs of business to conduct. ”
“Job Creation System Canaries through reform of the Law in order to generate synergy between public and private activities to accelerate and improve the intermediation in the labor market by setting minimum quality criteria for intervening in the same .
The SCE will subsidize the running costs and staff from the organization of services for those organizations to develop guidance for the shares of employment. ”
“Promoting the reconciliation of family and work through the grant contracts covered over.”
“Promoting the reconciliation of work and family life through a subsidy to part-time contracts.”
“Development of an employability of young graduates from vocational training or university degree, subsidizing the hiring of these companies.”
“SCE is given by the subsidy in the amount of employer’s contributions to Social Security by the contracts that will increase progressively as the duration … to the maximum of 100% over a year for contracts with a duration exceeding nine months. ”
“For companies that even without complying with the requirement for three successive years of economic losses, could plead economic reasons for reducing staff, and to collaborate in the maintenance of jobs in them, may be establish the lines referencing the amount of subsidy to the cost of employer’s contributions for Social Security. ”
As they begin by ensuring that all the signatories to the monstrosity entitled to distribution of the money pie, just in case. And they continue to give subsidies to other modes of procurement, just in case, maybe they were not listed above. At the same time continues to be dealt with much difficulty understanding the potential of entrepreneurs, they pay taxes to them.
And if someone thinks that the teat subsidized costs has been completed we are on the following page. 44:
“As a direct support to encourage the employer hiring the first employee of a sole for a subvention amounting to total or partial cost of the employer share of Social Security.”
To note that they were not so there is a block entitled “Measures of social content.” Unfortunately, due to be spatio-only range from 47 to 51 Pg and good intentions are vague and without a budget, but it is scandalous and obscene that this title slip things like: “Social work has considered as a new field of employment … We use the potential of this source of jobs to boost self-employment and Entrepreneurship in the same. ” So, theoretical rights of citizens and which should be fully equipped by the state are “exploitable niche job.” Ah, the holy profit, it will be argued to death!
So much so that from the PCPC believe substantial paper on the Social Pact. We raised this analysis as a starting point for further deepening of other aspects of the Covenant, which are important to define a proper action within the framework of class struggle in the Canaries.

The Climate ActieKamp is many things at once. It is a space for real discussion and education on the scientific, social, political and economic issues associated with climate change. It is also an area for practical skills to give and to learn – the facilitation of meetings based on the consensus to build a stove or the establishment of management actions. The camp itself tries as low carbon as possible, to learn and demonstrate how easily we can live sustainably. We organize ourselves in a non-hierarchical, horizontal, without leaders every voice is equally important and decisions are taken by consensus. ”
Who organizes this camp?
“The Climate Action Camp is organized by a range of people from different walks of society, living in Belgium and the Netherlands. Below you will find our teachers, designers, farmers, students, plumbers, architects, parents, crackers, builders and so on. Inspired by the Climate Action camp in the United Kingdom and Germany, and because we do not agree with how the climate crisis is addressed by companies and governments in this part of the world, we’ve decided on a similar actiekamp feet up – which we use a different approach than what is usual in the Low Countries. ”
Why now?
“Climate change is becoming an increasingly pressing issue. The IPCC, an international panel of 2000 of the world’s top scientists, predicted catastrophic consequences if we do not immediately emissions drastically reduced. And James Hansen, the NASA scientists, has urged young people to chain themselves to bulldozers and direct action to stop the construction of new power plants with coal works. If it is urgent. But instead of genuine measures to reduce emissions of fossil fuels and deforestation beings life, governments and companies to mislead the people and implement plans that they only aim to capitalize from the situation. ”
“In December 2009 governments and businesses will come together again at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP15) in Copenhagen. As they try to push through plans to capitalism to save the crisis since last year is. The treaty that is wants to negotiate for our last remaining natural resources – our atmosphere – more private. This new treaty to succeed the Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012. The Kyoto Protocol is mainly known because it has not contributed to a reduction of emissions, but an increase in emissions is possible.
“More than ever it is necessary that people all over the world stand up and take action. Governments and businesses have proven that they are not able to get this problem to solve. They have 20 years of time since the UN body to address climate change is established. Their “solutions” make the problem worse, while at the same time the privatization and injustice increase. Now it is our responsibility as people living on this planet whose life will be thoroughly shaken by the impact of climate change, for something to do. ”
Is this the very climate actiekamp ever?
“No. The concept of climate faced over the world in the last three years. There have already been faced in the UK (including England, Scotland and Wales), Germany, Denmark, France, Australia, New Zealand and three times in the U.S.. ”
“This is the first climate actiekamp in the Low Countries. It is the first camp in our region that simultaneously creates a space for discussion and debate on sustainable living for the exchange of practical skills and direct action. ”
What is direct action?
“There is a global long and fascinating history of direct action: the suffragettes on Gandhi to civil rights movement. The examples of people together by action of the world a better place have made widely known. ”
“The media distort” direct action “and” civil disobedience “often to smash windows of riots and the police. What these concepts actually mean is that people decide to operate on to them what the right thing to do, even if it means that they must jump out of the band or maybe even break the law. This assertive approach has proven to be vital for progressive change, and we continue to practice. ”
“The direct action in the camp will take different forms. The main point is that everything you do your own choice. Some people come to the camp but will not participate in the day.
