Politique: l'EURO, la BCE, Ségolène et Delors
Cette semaine la Banque centrale européenne (BCE) a encore augmenté le taux d’intérêt de l’Euro pour la zone Euro de 0,25%. Trichet, le président de la BCE justifie cette hausse par le besoin de contrôler l’inflation… Ségolène Royal, candidate du PS à l’élection présidentielle française, a sévèrement critiqué jeudi 7 décembre, lors de la séance d'ouverture du congrès du Parti socialiste européen à Porto (Portugal), la BCE et son président. Elle a estimé que "Ce n'est plus à M. Trichet de décider de l'avenir de nos économies, c'est aux dirigeants démocratiquement élus le droit de décider de l'avenir". Pour Ségolène Royal, remettre l'Europe sur les rails "suppose que la Banque centrale européenne soit soumise à des décisions politiques, bien sûr celles de l'Eurogroupe" – qui réunit les ministres des finances de la zone euro – "mais aussi celles du Conseil européen" des chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement. Elle ne fait que exprimer ce que beaucoup pensent. Mais, a-t-elle raison?
Delors lui ne prétend pas forcément changer les traités, mais lors du même congrès, toujours en forme, il a critiqué le pacte de stabilité et de croissance. Selon lui, le pacte aurait seulement réglé une partie des problèmes, mais n’a pas contribué à définir l’orientation des politiques macroéconomiques. Il estime que "L"euro protège mais l'euro ne dynamise pas", parce que "d'un point de vue technique, on demande trop à la monnaie et pas assez à l'économie".
En complément du pacte de stabilité et de croissance, qui encadre les politiques budgétaires des pays membres de la zone euro, "il aurait fallu un pacte de coordination des politiques macro-économiques", a-t-il ajouté. Mais pour cela, les états membres auraient dû reconnaître une capacité de jugement et d'orientation à la Commission européenne, ce qu'ils n'ont jamais voulu, a-t-il précisé. Trouver une solution, selon Jacques Delors, "implique, non pas le changement des statuts de la BCE" mais faire de l'UEM (Union économique et monétaire) "une véritable coopération renforcée, avec un budget propre permettant d'accompagner les efforts des états". Elio Di Rupo, président du parti socialiste belge a même lancé "Reviens Delors".
Mais quoi qu’il en soit la BCE et M. Trichet auront des explications à faire… parce que l’inflation en zone Euro a été très stable depuis 2000, entre 2,1 et 2,2%... et même s’il y avait eu des tendances à la hausse fin 2005 début 2006, elle s’est réduite à 1,8% dans les derniers mois (malgré la situation dans quelques pays comme l’Espagne ou la Grèce). En même temps, et après la bonne croissance de l’économie européenne en 2006, il est prévu un ralentissement de la croissance pour 2007, donc le contexte actuel ne présente aucuns signes d’échauffement de l’économie ni de tendances inflationnistes. Alors pourquoi la hausse du taux d’intérêts ? Pour garantir un Euro fort, dans les marchés mondiaux ? Pour quoi ? Sui en bénéficie? Pour contribuer à l’endettement croissant des familles ? pour diminuer les exportations européennes ? Je ne suis pas un expert dans la matière, mais… something is wrong, and something should be explained...

Lifestyle: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - better undertsanding the personality
Personality Type or Psychological Type are terms most commonly associated with the model of personality development created by Isabel Briggs Myers (aka Briggs Meyer, Meyer Briggs, Briggs & Myers ) the author of the world's most widely used personality inventory, the MBTI or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. ® Myers' and her mother, Katharine Briggs, developed their model and inventory around the ideas and theories of psychologist Carl Jung, a contemporary of Sigmund Freud and a leading exponent of Gestalt personality theory. 2 Kinds of Mental Processes In her studies of people and extensive reading of Jung's theories, Myers concluded there were four primary ways people differed from one another. She labelled these differences "preferences" - drawing a similarity to "hand preferences" to illustrate that although we all use both of our hands, most of us have a preference for one over the other and "it" takes the lead in many of the activities in which we use our hands.The first set of mental preferences relates to how people "Perceive" or take in information, with those who prefer Sensing Perception and those who prefer intuition perception. The second set of mental preferences identifies how people form "Judgments" or make decisions, with those who prefer Thinking Judgment and those whose preference is for Feeling Judgment. There are two other mental preferences that are part of the Myers-Briggs model: Energy Orientation and Outer World Orientation. The first one is the dimension of personality discovered by Carl Jung that became widely adopted by general psychology: Extraversion-Introversion. The second is the dimension of personality that is Myers' unique contribution to Jung's theory, an element she inferred from Jung's work but was not clearly addressed as an essential component of his theory of types. This is the style or orientation one uses in dealing with the external world: Judging or Perceiving.
The permutations of these four preference dichotomies (or tendencies I would add), result in the 16 personality types that form the basis of Myers' model and the MBTI inventory. The problem is that it is not always easy to understand which your determining or leading preferences really are. So what is your type? which “pattern” do you follow? Introverted Intuition with Feeling (infj), Introverted Feeling with Intuition (infp), Extraverted Thinking with Sensing (estj) or something else? Find out more in the MBTI site. And find out more about the 16 types here.

Politics: G. W. Bush, "worst president" of the USA history?
We might still be voting to elect the worst Portuguese person ever (see post bellow) but George W. Bush will have it difficult in his coming last two years in power to escape the title of one of the worst North-American presidents...
Since the Democrats won the recent elections for the Congress, President Bush has had to step back and withdraw in mant respects. Now John Bolton, the US ambassador to the UN has resigned and next Bush will have to accept the start of the withdrawal of the american troops from Iraq, which the Commission will likely propose.
These days it is practically an impossible mission to find an article favourable to George W. Bush's policy in the American press. The website of Fox News, usually an ally of the Bush administration, asks “Where have all the conservatives gone?”, noting that there is no credible republican candidate to take on the present head of the state. An editorialist of USA Today confesses to being surprised by a leaked Rumsfeld report (ex defence secretary) that calls for a withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. He writes that “Donald Rumsfeld has long personified the administration's misguided approach to Iraq. He insisted on trying to occupy the country with too few forces”. The now leaked memo acknowledges that the strategy in Iraq is not working and lays out options from a troop withdrawal to lowering Americans' expectations. He concludes that “The unavoidable truth is that the Iraq debacle has made Americans and U.S. interests more vulnerable. A Rumsfeld suggestion to lower expectations barely begins to tackle those coming aftershocks.” And one comment to that editorial adds on “I would love to see Bob Woodward or another reporter of similar credentials explore whether the current Iraq misadventure really is "Cheney's War". I don't think any organization has profited more than Halliburton from the hostilities”…
But things are not better regarding the usual Mr Bush’s opponents… The New York Times believes that a no return point has been crossed: the American strategy in Iraq cannot develop further. It writes that “one of the (Iraq) commission’s core conclusions is that the White House should announce a plan for American forces to begin pulling back, whether the Iraqis are ready or not.” Also in a NYT article (reserved for subscribers), columnist FRANK RICH asks whether Bush “Has He Started Talking to the Walls?”, claiming that “the more President Bush loses his hold on reality, the more language is severed from its meaning altogether”. He goes further to compare the present situation regarding Mr Bush with the days which preceded Richard Nixon's resignation.
Finally, the Washington Post analyses in detail that historical issue, of knowing whether George W. Bush is the worst of the North-American Presidents. History will tell that, yet to escape that title, something very good will better happen… “What if there is a news flash that U.S. Special Forces have killed Osama bin Laden or that North Korea has renounced its nuclear program? What if a decade from now Iraq is a democracy and a statue of Bush is erected on Firdaus Square where that famously toppled one of Saddam Hussein once stood?”, asks the paper. However, Douglas Brinkley argues, “the truth is, after six years in power and barring a couple of miracles, it's safe to bet that Bush will be forever handcuffed to the bottom rungs of the presidential ladder. The reason: Iraq.” I would say, the main reason, but, whatelse is there? Read further, the article is very interesting.

"Filmé dans un noir et blanc lyrique, cette balade de sans espoirs et de garçons sauvages dans les rues mal famées de Portland est la quête d’un objet de désir intouchable".

AIDS in Portugal
Entretanto em Portugal, a maioria das metas dos planos de luta contra a sida não foram atingidas. Passaram 29 anos desde a detecção do primeiro caso de HIV/sida em Portugal e o país continua a ter dos piores indicadores sobre a infecção na Europa. Responsabilidade? Ninguém tem, como sempre em Portugal, é “a vida”…
De acordo com o Centro de Vigilância Epidemiológica das Doenças Transmissíveis, registaram-se em Portugal 29.461 casos de infecção pelo VIH entre 1983 e Junho 2006, mas segundo o Programa das Nações Unidas para a Sida (ONUSida), o número de portugueses infectados pelo VIH pode ser superior, estimando esta entidade que se situe nos 32 mil. Segundo indica o jornal Publico, e como revela o último relatório (2005) do Centro Europeu para a Monitorização Epidemiológica da Sida, Portugal ocupa o segundo pior lugar num grupo de 52 países europeus (junto com os menos desenvolvidos) apenas pior do que a Estónia, em número de novos casos de infecção diagnosticados por milhão de habitantes: 251 por ano, logo seguidos dos 247 da Federação Russa e 241 da Ucrânia.
Um novo Programa de Prevenção oficial para a Infecção HIV/sida entre 2007 e 2010 foi ontem, 1 de Dezembro, apresentado em Lisboa. O objectivo é reduzir, até 2010, em 25%, a mortalidade causada pela doença, diminuir o número de novas infecções e aumentar o diagnóstico voluntário, segundo os objectivos anunciados. Mas em 2010 veremos os resultados... E ninguém será responsável se os resultados forem maus. Muito dos projectos, como os centros de terapêutica combinada, ficaram pelo caminho (quem sabe se por cortes orçamentais…). O actual coordenador nacional de luta contra a sida (desde há mais de um ano no cargo!!!), Henrique Barros, admite que a maioria das metas ficou por atingir e que, nalguns casos, nem seria desejável que fossem concretizadas (comentários para quê?). O novo programa nacional de combate à sida determina intervenções na prevenção da doença junto de grupos mais vulneráveis, como os toxicodependentes e os migrantes (alguns dos mais afectados).

Citizenship: Stop AIDS, keep the promises!
Today, December 1, 2006, Kofi Annan passed the following message: "In the 25 years since the first case was reported, AIDS has changed the world. It has killed 25 million people, and infected 40 million more. It has become the world’s leading cause of death among both women and men aged 15 to 59. It has inflicted the single greatest reversal in the history of human development. In other words, it has become the greatest challenge of our generation."
In 2000, the World's leaders made a promise, as part of the Millennium Development Goals, to halt and begin to reverse the spread of AIDS by 2015. That has been followed by many other targets and commitments over the past six years, among which that of providing cheap treatment to people throughout the world. Many of those promises fell short of expectations. Big pharmaceutical companies still keep unacceptable rights over treatments which are not being made available at accessible prices.
Meanwhile, new reports by UNAIDS and the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that the epidemic continues to spread in every region of the world. By now over 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981, 2.9 million in 2006 alone. At this rate, the WHO predicts that in the next 25 years another 117 million people might die, making AIDS the third leading cause of death worldwide.
With “accountability” as the theme of this World AIDS Day on 1 December, campaigners across the globe are calling leaders to account not just for good intentions, but for action to make those promises a reality.
Meanwhile, apart from making treatments available worldwide, the only thing we can all do is to respect the people who have HIV or AIDS, to prevent the virus from spreading by USING CONDOMS and have safe se reports and test when required.
