THE WINGS OF THE SCOTTISH BUTTERFLY IN SPANISH MEDIA // AS ÁS DA BOLTORETA ESCOCESA NA PRENSA ESPAÑOLA

THE WINGS OF THE SCOTTISH BUTTERFLY IN SPANISH MEDIA

There is nothing like reading the right wing Spanish press to know how terribly nervous they are when faced with the Scottish referendum.

Since knowing the results of the survey commissioned by the SNP, these days we can see a battery of news from the right wing media (ABC, La Razón ,El Imparcial …) decrying this survey and reporting the harm that would come to Scotland from achieving independence. They keep on and will continue following, as usual, two ways of confusion and manipulation.

Firstly: to run their regular campaign of fear, they copy the slogans of "Better Together". They try to confuse by saying that a NO vote can ensure more devolution powers, when everybody knows that in their model of globalized Europe, countries have fewer and fewer responsibilities and powers.

They lie and try to intimidate and the more we approach the moment, it will get worse because soon we will see more campaigns against the leaders of the“Yes for Independence”... the old school never changes.

Secondly: They try to mix (and the more, the better) the possible referendum in Catalonia with the Scottish one to destroy the idea that any country could get independence in this model that they want in the globalized world.

Catalonia, like every country in the world, should have the right to decide whether or not they want independence. It's civil society that will inevitably make these changes and I'm sure they are not going to backtrack.

But I think CIU will finally yield to pressures from Madrid and seek a way to delay the consultation, with the resulting effect that in the next election, there will be great success for ERC and they will have in their hands, but with approval, the ability to carry out a more appropriate social project than the center-right Catalan is trying for now.

Beware therefore of falling into the blunder of wanting to mix these two projects up because each of them, even though they share their enemies, have their own characteristics and should be observed separately.

 

 

AS ÁS DA BOLVORETA ESCOCESA NA PRENSA ESPAÑOLA

 

Non hai nada como ler á prensa da dereita española para saber o terriblemente nerviosos que están de cara ao Referendo de Escocia.

Logo de coñecerse os resultados da enquisa encargada polo SNP, vemos nestes días unha batería de noticias dos medios de dereita (ABC, La Razón, El Imparcial...) censurando dita enquisa e informando do mal que lle iría a Escocia de acadar a independencia. Seguen e seguiran con dúas vías de confusión e manipulación.

Por unha banda, a de facer a súa campaña habitual de medo, ao calor dos slogans do "Better Together". De confundir mentindo dicindo que o voto ao NON asegura mais competencias autonómicas, cando tod@s sabemos que no seu modelo globalizado de Europa, os países terán cada vez menos competencias e poderes. Menten e tendan amedrentar e canto mais se achegue o momento, pior vai ser, porque pronto veremos mais campañas en contra dos líderes do SI á independencia... a vella escola nunca cambia.

Por outra banda, a de tratar de mesturar canto mais mellor o referendo de Cataluña co de Escocia para destruír a idea de que ningún país vai ser independente neste modelo que queren de mundo globalizado.

O pobo catalán, ao igual que calquera pobo, ten dereito a decidir se quere ou non á independencia. É a sociedade civil a que inevitablemente vai marcar estes cambios que estou segura non teñen marcha atrás.

Penso que CIU finalmente cederá a presións de Madrid e que buscarán a forma de demorar a consulta, co conseguinte efecto de que nas vindeiras eleccións, vai ser ERC quen gañe adeptos e teña nas súas mans, con mais folgura, a posibilidade de levar a cabo todo un proxecto social mais adecuado ao que o centrodereita catalán pretende agora mesmo.

Coidado polo tanto con caer na torpeza de querer mesturar estes dous proxectos xa que cada un deles, aínda que compartan inimigos, teñen as súas características e deben ser observados por separado.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SCOTLAND: DUGGY DUG AND OTHER INITIATIVES (TRANSLATION)

And here you have the translation of my article in "Sermos Galiza". I hope you enjoy it.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SCOTLAND? DUGGY DUG AND OTHER INITIATIVES FOR THE YES TO INDEPENDENCE

NewsnetScotland colleagues have launched the first video of Duggy Dug Project. Financed by private donations, it's objective is to report on the most important themes of debate in Scotland now with the occasion of the referendum to be held on 18 September 2014. Duggy Dug, will be responsible for explaining everything that relates to an independent Scotland in an educational, fun and simple way. The Scottish actor Brian Cox puts his voice to this very clever Scottish dog.

They all know very well in Scotland how important the battle will be to inform the undecided and neutralize the disinformation and manipulation from the pro-unionist media who, of course, are using techniques and discourses of fear and disrepute as the basis for its campaign. “Better Together" are already well known in the world of social networks as “Bitter Together".

But Duggy Dug it’s not the only initiative launched these days, Wings Over Scotland launched about a month ago an appeal for an independent poll, because so far, the only published statistics on the intention to vote in the referendum proceeds from the pro-Union media.

All its costs, and it's not easy to get money, but in less than 72 hours, 400 % of the cost to perform the survey were raised, Wings Over Scotland explained that he had to send desperate messages via twitter to ask people not to make more donations ... What a phenomenon! Clearly the Scottish people need to know and they don't believe in media reports.

The results of this first initiative of Wings (the second is already in the oven) reflects among other things, that 36% of Scots have already decided to vote NO, compared to 34 % who opt for YES, the remaining 30% have still not decided. Another of the results showed that 67% of the Scottish population knows that a negative vote to independence means no more devolution powers to the Scottish Parliament (an argument defended by the platform " Better Together").

All activity is important and YES Scotland who has just discovered that its email accounts were hacked (this outrageous situation is being investigated), keeps working very hard with informative meetings across the country, focusing on answering all the questions that arise from the Scots. And also, a Rally for Scottish Independence has been organised that will take place next 21^st of September in Edinburgh and it seems that it's going to be an event of significance.

This will be the second major event to take place since the announcement of the referendum; last year was the first one that had a successful influx of participants. A plural and inclusive nature is one of the characteristics of the organization , as it is important to break the lie launched and repeated insistently by " Better Together" that the Yes vote belongs only to Alex Salmond and the SNP and not to all the Scots.

With a view to 18th September 2014, there is still a huge stretch to walk and many small and big battles to fight. The independence supporters are sure that these sorts of initiatives and others to come will push Scotland on to gain its own State.

VISITANDO ESCÓCIA: Tes fame? Feeling hungry? DUNDEE Recommendation : The Blue Marlin

For those of you who are thinking of visiting Scotland, and even for those living there, I would like to recommend the best restaurant in Dundee and certainly one of the best in Scotland... A fantastic and beautiful place where the speciallity is Sea-Food, but if you like very tasty meat or if you are vegetarian, the wonderful owners (Steve and Alison Hyatt) will make you very at home, comfortable and happy!  (they are indeed wonderful people... I can tell you!) ah! and  you can also wash it down with the finest Albariño! (Galician white wine)

The Blue Marlin

http://www.thebluemarlin.co.uk/

Para aqueles que estades pensando en visitar Escócia e mesmo para os que xa están vivindo alí, gostaríame recomendar o mellor Restaurante en Dundee e probablemente o mellor de Escócia. A súa especialidade é productos do mar (peixe e marisco), pero se gostades da boa carne, ou se sodes vexetarianos, os seus maravillosos donos, Steve and Alison Hyatt, conseguirán que vos sintades como en casa, cómodos e felices (Eles son, sen dúbida xente estupenda, dou fé!). Ah! e tamén podedes disfrutar do mellor Albariño! 



And take advantage of the change to visit the Angus and Dundee area, it's full of surprises and posibilities and such wonderful and kind people!

Aproveitade para visitar a zona Angus e Dundee, está chea de sorpresas e de posibilidades, e a xente é taaaaaaannnnn agradable!!!! 

SPANISH MEDIA ON SCOTTISH REFERENDUM // A PRENSA ESPAÑOLA E O REFERENDUM DE ESCÓCIA

I'm ashamed... not for me... I'm happy to feel and think like I do... I'm ashamed and angry because the Spanish Media continues to support the Better Together Campaign... oh yes... the PP and Tories are all friends... the PP and Tories have a common objetive:  globalization, centralise the powers, cuts on  human and fundamental rights... and, of course, they have the power of media.

But Scotland is a real pain and a bad example for all European countries. I told you before about that, lots of "specialists" on politics visiting Spain and all the commentaries from PP leaders... 

http://newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-opinion/6221-watching-the-bulls-from-behind-the-barrier-a-view-from-galiza 

In Spain we are still fighting for "the right to decide".... supposedly we got some devolution powers... however every day we end up with less and less devolution, a horrible nightmare from the past is threatening us every day in every cut ... we've got corruption cases everywhere ... the Government is very afraid of any social movement and especially from Catalonia and the Basque Country.... Centralism.. "España, una grande y libre" the francoism slogan in now very present again. 

Not a single word about Yes Scotland Campaign, not a single word about the social policies of SNP. Not a single word about Scotland as part of the EU... Au contraire... we are suffering a terrible and constant dripping of NO supporters and they get full attention because they have to explain to the Spanish people how bad "separation" is, how low the Yes support is , how weak the SNP policies are and the SNP arguments backing the YES campaign... 

I humblely think that it would be very useful to publish some interviews from Yes Supporters, on our blogs, in our local magazines, I know it will help just a wee bit, but the important battle is in the media, and working on the undecided in Scotland... living abroad, the important thing is make them respect the Scottish process and the Scottish people, and to shout out that there is another alternative for a healthy Europe.

Estou avergoñada... non por min, eu estou feliz de sentir e de pensar coma o fago... estou avergoñada e enfadada porque a prensa española segue a apoiar a campaña Better Together... como non... O PP e os Tory son amiguiños... O PP e os Tory teñen un obxetivo común: globalización, centralizar os poderes, cortar dereitos fundamentais e humáns. E por suposto teñen o poder sobre os medios de "comunicación"

Mais Scotland é un grao no cú, un mal exemplo para todos os pobos de Europa. Xa o dixen en anteriores ocasións... a continua visita de "especialistas políticos", os comentarios envelenados de certos líderes do PP.

http://newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-opinion/6221-watching-the-bulls-from-behind-the-barrier-a-view-from-galiza

En España ainda estamos a loitar polo "dereito a decidir"... supostamente temos competencias autonómicas... mais cada dia, ademais que termos menos autonomía, un terrible pesadelo do pasado vennos a ameazar, en cada recorte... temos corrupción en todos os currunchos... o Goberno ten medo de cada movemento social e especialmente os que xurden en Catalunya e en Euskal Herria. Centralismo. "España, una, grande y libre" o slogan do Franquismo está de novo presente.

Nen unha palabra sobre a campaña do Yes Scotland, nen unha soa palabra sobre as políticas sociais do SNP. Nen sobre Escócia coma parte da Unión europea... pola contra, estamos a sofrer a terrible e constante pingueira de siaeiros do NON, que teñen toda a atención porque deben explicar aos españoles o malo que é a "separación" ou o baixo apoio ao YES, ou a debilidade das políticas e argumentos do SNP apoiando a campaña do SI.

Humildemente penso que sería de utilidade publicar algunha entrevista dos siaeiros do YES nos nosos blogs, nos nosos xornais locais, sei que sería moi pouca axuda, pero a batalla importante é nos médios de comunicación e traballando cos indecisos en Escócia.... vivindo fóra de território escocés o importante é tentar que se respete o proceso escocés e ao pobo escocés, e berrar que existe outra alternativa para conquerir unha Europa sana.

GALIZA NON SE VENDE // GALIZA IS NOT FOR SALE (GAL/ENG)

Xa nen sei cómo saltou a noticia, mais de súpeto me entero de que van furar Galiza; seica que é para conseguir unhas cuantas toneladas de ouro; e para iso van envelenar con arsénico e cianuro todo o entorno galego... para conseguir un ouro que non só non está claro que exista, senón que este mesmo "ouro pantasma" vai servir para pagar os rescates á banca e para pagar as compromisos que acadaron uns poucos, ás nosas espaldas, coas poderosas empresas de megamineria internacional.



 I don't know how the news came out but suddenly I found out that they are going to drill out Galiza; they say that is to get a few tonnes of gold, and to get that they are going to poison with arsenic and cyanide all the Galician enviroment... just to get some gold which it's not clear exists ... and this "phantom-gold" is for paying political and economic obligations that the Powers have with very powerful Megamine International Companies, of course, decision made without telling us a word about it.

Non lembro unha posible catástrofe maior dende que aconteceu o do Prestige... mira que xa padecemos o terrorismo medioambiental do lume cada ano, e a ameaza constante das intencións de Monsanto, e a impresentable Lei de Costas, pero isto... isto é querer acabar con tod@s nós. Ou é a mina ou somos nós.

I don't remember a bigger ecological disaster since the catastrofic Prestige blackened all the Galician coast. Let me tell you that we are living  the ecological terrorism with fires every year, the Monsanto threat, or the horrible Coast Law... disaster once and again... but this.... they want to finish us off... There is only one choice, the MINE or US...

Pretenden vender Galiza contándonos o conto de que a megaminaría salvaxe vai traer catro anos de traballo para as nosas comarcas; os que se din gobernantes autonómicos galegos tan só son títeres de Madrid, de Bruxelas, de China, de Canada... e están a vender a Nosa Terra, o noso sustento, o noso fogar, a nosa saúde. Eles están a tomar decisións sempre de espaldas á cidadanía, nunca contando con nós. Este é o seu "fantástico" proxecto de futuro para os pobos pequenos, para as identidades propias, para as culturas distintas, para as autonomías : centralismo e globalización. Ou o que é o mesmo sometimento, deshumanización e destrución.

They are trying to sell Galiza, telling us about how good the wild mining is, telling us that it will bring a lot of jobs for at least 4 years for our shires; the autonomous Galician governors are just puppets of Madrid, of Brusels, China, Canada... they are selling our own Country, our food, our houses, our home. They are always making decisions without us, never with us. This is their "fantastic" future for the small countries, for our identity,  for the different cultures, for the autonomies: centralism and globalization, or if you prefer: submission, dehumanization and destrution.

Pan para hoxe, fame, miseria, insalubridade e destrozo para as xeracións vindeiras.

E claro que nós non estamos tolos! Nós non queremos envelenar os nosos ríos, nen matar aos nosos animais nen aos nosos paisanos,  queremos ver florecer os nosos campos e os nosos montes sans e fortes, defender os lugares protexidos, traballar nós as terras de labradío, desfrutar das nosas augas e coidar do mar e desta maravillosa natureza na que temos que vivir e queremos que desfruten os nosos cativ@s. 

Food for today, hunger, misery, unhealthiness and destrution for the followings generations. And of course we are not fools! We don't want to poison our rivers, nor kill our animals, nor our people; we want to see our fields flower, our mountains strong and healthy; we want to defend our protected places, and to work our allotments as we've always done; we want to enjoy of our waters and look after the sea and nature where we live. We want our children to enjoy of all this too.

Os nosos ancestros pelexaron moito por chegar a onde estamos, merecen que os honremos e que nos honremos a nós mesmos dende xa.

Our ancestors fought very hard to get all this; they deserve to be honored and we have to honour ourselves from today.




Tod@s somos responsables. Non é tempo de mirar para outro lado, a cousa vai contigo, e comigo, e có outro... vai con todos.
 
 Eu sempre me digo: "non penses que non hai nada que facer, pensa que ti es un dos graos de arena que fai unha duna no deserto", se non teño información, a busco; se teño dúbidas pregunto, e se hai manifestacións e mobilizacións, participo. De onde pensades que saliu a consigna  "O pobo unido xamais será vencido"?... pensade un pouquiño e pensade qué futuro lle queredes deixar aos que veñen detrás de nós.


We all should take the responsability. It's not time to look the other way, this thing is about you, about me, about the rest... this thing is about all of us.

I always say:  "don't think that it is nothing to do with me... each of us is the grain of sand that forms the dune". If you don't have information... just look for it, if you have doubts... just ask! and if there is any rally: go and participate. Do you know the slogan: "The people united will never be defeated"? Think about it, and think about what kind of future you'd like to leave to those who'll come after us.






Non é tempo de lecer, é tempo de axir.
Pelexar por un futuro mellor, con mais dereitos, con humanidade non é un capricho, é unha necesidade. Tod@s somos potenciais víctimas da inxustiza e as inxustizas hai que erradicalas. Eu non me vendo, Galiza non se vende.

Grazas a tod@s os amig@s de Asturies, Ecuador, Canada, Chile, Arxentina., Escócia.... tod@s os que participastedes nesta grande manifestación. Unha aperta fraternal e internacionalista, porque todos somos un, e cada un coas suas peculiaridades, pero humanos todos.


 

It's not time for resting, it's time to fight. 
To fight for a better future, with full rights, with humanity, it's not a whim, it's a necessity. We are all potencial victims of injustice, and we have to erradicate injustice. I'm not for sale, Galiza is not for sale. 

Thank you all, friends from Asturies, Ecuador, Canada, Chile, Argentina, Scotland... all of you participating in this so necessary demonstration. A fraternal and internationalist embrace, because we are one, every one with their peculiarities, but all humans though.
