Letter To Wedding Guests For Reception

Alakrana case and the opacity of an incompetent government.

management Alakrana tuna boat hijacking, by the English government, has highlighted the incompetence of Zapatero. His admiration for the fudge, opacity, worrying feature in a European ruler, incompatible with democracy.

Neglecting English fundamental right to be informed truthfully, Zapatero appeared before the cameras to sign a "both" political liberation of the hostages Alakrana, but without information on the many obscure details of the operation.

operation was unclear, without that opacity has nothing to do with prudence and discretion that requires negotiation. The government seems to ignore that democracy, rather than a system of voting and electing representatives, is a culture based on trust, cleaning, in which the right to inform and be informed is essential. An opaque system, without transparency or truth, is pure tyranny.

The operation can not be completed until there is clarification of the unknowns of the case: what flag the ship was carrying when he was arrested? Who and why the two pirates arrested and brought to Spain? Who ordered it? Who paid the ransom? "He gave money by mistake, as aforesaid, a pirate faction wrong? What should be the clash between the National Court and the government? What does what he has said the Justice Minister, that the government does not pay "as such" a bailout? What Zapatero told the families of the hostages for them to keep a stony silence? Why some ministers clashed with others? What are you going to do with the two pirates arrested? Is there a commitment to free? Will we as a people have to suffer the humiliation of pardons? What will the government not to hijack another ship back to English? Why not embark English military in the fishery, as have other countries?

Zapatero, down on the transparency and truth, seems to have closed the case stating that they "have done what we needed," without admitting any error, without a hint of criticism.

is not clear the strange incident of shots fired by the English armed pirates, do not know if it was a ploy to save face before the public or if it was just incompetence with the use of arms. It is not known if they had orders not to cause casualties. It is not known what reasons underlie the malaise within the armed forces.

There are many unanswered questions, judicial fringes substantiate responsibilities without awarding policies and lessons learned.

still lack the distance, too much information to perform a comprehensive analysis of the case Alakrana. But no data to say that from past mistakes, the worst of all is not government incompetence, or inexperience of the ministers involved, or the mediocrity of the English leadership concern, but the opaque manner, the fear of truth and light, a sinister and disturbing fondness for the dark by Zapatero and his acolytes that has nothing to do with democracy and that, unfortunately, reeks of totalitarian roots, to tyranny camouflaged.
