Crisis Madagascar: first consequence of neo-colonialism by Vincent Jarousseau land (from the national site of A World of advance)
Media coverage of the riots that shook Madagascar now, do not always understand the reasons for the crisis. Since the end of January, a worrying resurgence of violence shakes Madagascar. The crisis that has paralyzed the country is not a surprise for those interested in this country. Some observers describe it as a dispute between the young mayor of Antananarivo (Tananarive) Rajoelina, (34 years) and Marc Ravalomanana, President of the Malagasy Republic, elected in 2002 after 23 years of rule of the regime of Didier Ratsiraka (with a break of four years in the mid 90s). The facts go far beyond this simplistic view. The soil of the crisis is above all social.

Vhf Uhf Transformer Purpose
If the early years of power Ravalomanana has enabled the country to recover somewhat from the 2002 crisis (construction of roads, 7% growth, inflation control, exponential tourism, protection of biodiversity Madagascar improved), then (especially after 2006, when his re-election) is a long list of broken promises, obstacles to freedom, an autocratic and especially a Malagasy people that continues to sink into poverty. This was clearly not the main concern of international donors. Both the IMF and World Bank rely on running their business, for trade and investment take place in a "favorable climate and environment." The nature of the regime and the living conditions of the population do not matter.
Calculation risky by investors in this country that Westerners considered "pacified". Three triggers were enough to turn on an end to the Malagasy people socially (a liter of gasoline than a euro, a bag of rice prices almost at the minimum wage, or about 30 euros): the end of November 2008 Daewoo The purchase by the President of the Republic of a Boeing 737, worth $ 60 million and the closure of TV Viva Mayor of Antananarivo. No wonder then, that the rioters attacked first taken to the different interests President's private fire to his chain of supermarkets, inaccessible to almost all of the Malagasy population, and both symbols of places frequented by a tiny minority very privileged. They also attacked the warehouses in free zones, a symbol of foreign investment, where the exploited workers receive 16 hours per day on average 30 € per month. In this tense environment of confrontation, the young mayor, president installed, has urged people to begin a general strike on January 24. The rest we know, a hundred dead and one exit today very uncertain. Placing himself immediately in the position of the right man Rajoelina calls today for a transitional government and demands to be headed. Without program, without a proposal, with no real political party, he sincerely proposed an alternative policy to the current president? Hard to tell, but the personal ambition of the mayor of Tana strangely reminiscent of the way through his opponent Ravalomanana.
Beyond the social dimension of the crisis is a new form of colonialism land which we are perhaps now seeing. Not content to plunder the mineral resources Northern countries are now possible to rent million hectares of arable land in southern countries to meet their consumption, and this for trivial benefits for local people. This is the famous case of Daewoo. The South Korean giant Daewoo Logistics has announced the signing of a "rental" of 1,300 million hectares of arable land for 99 years for the corn and palm trees. The contract details are very disturbing:
The rented space is equivalent to half the arable land in Madagascar.
Daewoo plant corn on 1 million hectares West Area and palm oil to the East on 300 000 hectares. Palm seeds will be imported from Indonesia and Costa Rica, maize United States (Le Monde, November 20, 2008). The gross harvest will be sent in South Korea.
the agreement does not provide for payment of money to the Malagasy government, investments ($ 6 billion over 25 years) in infrastructure necessary for the implementation of the project will be "rental".
Daewoo Logistics uses essentially the workforce of South Africa by the Financial Times quoted by AFP.
How to accept this absurdity ? Madagascar, one of the world's poorest countries do not have enough resources to feed its population, but enough to send oil palm will be converted into biofuel for South Korea? The search of arable land by large international groups in the poor South is a trend found in the world today. FAO has warned the country in search of land to cultivate abroad cons related to a system of "neocolonialism."
This new trend is not unrelated to the financial crisis on the planet. Most Africans live and emerging panic in fear of a massive withdrawal of foreign capital. The fear of a decline in foreign direct investment made by international organizations as the panacea to the problems haunting the development, leading some African leaders to make every effort to get foreign currency, as the massive transfer of farmland. The process is well under way is expected to accelerate. Hundreds of thousands of hectares of arable land is under threat. Hundreds of thousands have already been alienated by this new form of colonization called "concession".
The tragedy the people of Madagascar is another example of an ultra-liberal global economy which strangles people. It takes place in a near silence of the international community. Between people's food crisis and greed of speculators and collusion of politics and business, the Malagasy example can only make them think.

NATIONALISM YOU SAY? by Christopher Berardi
Faced with the need to protect against dumping tax and social charges of protectionism and nationalism are soon to come, without nuance: "warmongers". This was the case yesterday in the show "Crosswords".
Yet the President's policy is more insidiously nationalistic than it seems ...
without contributing: The lie of the French Government on the quality of its recovery plan, therefore, poses a serious risk to the world of selfish folds.
The crisis is due to the weakening of salaries, which led to over-indebtedness, first in the USA. This weakness in the purchasing power is held by the social and fiscal dumping countries where labor can be exploited without the "barriers" that are for the Liberals: the cost of public services, social welfare, law labor, human rights, democracy ... It is now unrealistic
to try to draw to itself slyly coverage in a nationalistic reflex Would they be more effective to reactivate dialogue tools customs and import quotas based on the notion of protection and promotion of social systems? It would be healthier and more just to establish new rules and that the peoples of the world expect: public services and social protection systems should no longer be the only adjustment variables.
The message of world social forums that attempt to alert the world for a decade is simple: The less said
tax and social security is not a criterion of human progress, there can never be a relevant criterion of competitiveness.
Unfortunately the policies of Nicolas Sarkozy us away each day a little more.

EXPLANATION:
Most of our partners conduct policy stimulus on two legs: boosting production and support investment demand. French products can therefore expect to benefit from efforts to revive the purchasing power of our neighbors.
However, conducting a policy on "one leg" of recovery for enterprises, government Fillon has "secretly" take advantage of efforts to restore the purchasing power of its partners ... without contributing itself! curious design of the proposed European civilization. This position is untenable: it weakens first French workers, then it undermines the trust needed to raise international. Enjoy without contributing: The lie of the French Government on the quality of its recovery plan, therefore, poses a serious risk to the world of selfish folds.

SUPPRESSION OF TAX PROFESSIONAL? by Christopher Berardi
SARKOZY, pyromaniac firefighter.
Local in France represent 73% of public investment. For the only Council of Ain: the hypothetical removal of TP poses a risk to 100 million euros in revenues ... about 180 million investment. Neither
concerted nor prepared this announcement creates uncertainty for local communities. These are finalizing their 2009 budgets. Faced with this untimely announcement, the risk is high to see that communities see their investments! Thereby aggravating the crisis, especially for construction companies and public works.
The announcement of the removal of TP arrives at the worst time.
Not only it does not meet the expectations of employees: they are denied in favor of measures of purchasing power, while announcing new tax breaks.
Not only does it discourages investment, many local public, but in addition it will have a negative effect on growth: policy
scribbles President gives signals that discourage both consumption and investment communities.
As for business investment, already low before the crisis ... The cast quickly lose momentum without recovery in domestic demand, traditional spring of French growth.
it compensates for local communities, what fair taxation?
We talk about compensation ... There is not one local politician who might believe one second that the loss of TP will be fully offset by a new tax or the state! No compensation has ever been promised sustained respected by the state: if the signature of the state still has some value in the financial markets, it does not have much credit in this area with local officials.
The operation is simple: type in the boxes "healthy" after local siphoned off funds the State for the rich. This strategy will continue right: removing a tax on companies and creating a new tax "for all" ...
Finally, it had been more accurate to introduce greater fairness and progressivity of local taxation ... but do not count!
The "Robin Hood in reverse" has not stopped hitting.

SCOOP: Strike effective against Unemployment!
By Christopher Berardi
upturn of activity in this day of national mobilization for employment ! For some sites of Lorraine, Franche Comté, January 29 has even been the only day of the week without layoffs!
Trade unions should agree on a renewed strike, so that workdays are themselves renewed in them.
We wondered what were the counterparties to the refinancing of the sector by the state, so it is politically to serve the government in giving work ... strike days.
This attitude is totally irresponsible. For those employees most affected by the crisis, it gives the feeling that the government and some employers are by period crisis on the backs of employees.
Until we will not revisit the famous "tax package", this sense of injustice will be justified. How not to be shocked, indeed? At a time when it is announced every month tens of thousands more unemployed, the wealthiest taxpayers receive checks of several hundred thousand dollars!
few days ago, Nicolas Sarkozy attacked at SOUTHERN new scapegoat of the president. It needs to be reminded that a company, let alone the state, have the kind of unionism that they deserve. Stifling the expression of employee concerns, despising social dialogue in public does not assume the commitments and the signing of social ... The government and these companies leave to employees and their organizations have only one alternative: to discredit and submission, or combativeness and radicalism.
