Roman Polanski was arrested last saturday

September 28th, 2009 § 0

The film Director Roman Polanski was arrested, in Switzerland, last saturday, thirty years after he escaped from USA when he was going to enter in prison.

All the european intellectual sector is blocked by this news, but I wonder if his reaction will be the same if the criminal is not a famous person.

This reaction, in my opinion is hypocrit and, despite that I can admit the talent of this film director, however it is true that he committed a legal fault and, as other people because the law is the same for everybody, he ought to pay and to bear the consecuences of his behaviour.

Today, the newspapers surprise us with a terrifying news about violence on women.

The situation was de following: yesterday, in a spanish city, several citizens called to the police station because they saw a men beating a women in her head using a plastic bag full inside. The case is worse yet because the women was in a wheelchair.

That kind of persons ought to be refused in all cases by the rest of the population. The violence on women, childrens … must be a bad memory soon.

A shameful news

September 24th, 2009 § 0

Reading elmundo.es in its today edition, I found a report which supposes for our, the spanish people, a shame.

I can say this statement because, in opinion of this online newspaper, Spain in one of the European Union countries with a worse knowledge of  a foreing language.

Specifically, the opinion poll by Eurostat about this issue, shows us that Spain with Portugal and Hungary are the leading countries in a shameful opinion poll.

The research establishes that, in those countries, there are not many adult people able to speak another foreing language.

If the european average is 35,7%, in Spain it is 46,6%, in Portugal it is 51,3 % and in Hungary it is 74,8 %.

This ought to oblige us to think about learning english and other languages during the obligatory courses in the schools. In fact, in Spain only 28,3%students are studying two languages while in other countries, as France, Holland or Finland, the percentage goes up to 90%.

In spanish, we use a expression like this: those who wake up early, are helped by God (ok: “a quien madruga, Dios le ayuda”)
