Fernan-Gomez, Lopez Vazquez or Garci

It is the only player in the world whose name has spawned a genre. Alfredo Landa appears to be the first to renege on the comedies of landismo in his memoirs, which has husking Marcos Ordonez without biting your tongue. 'Alfredo el Grande. Life of a comedian '(Editorial Aguilar) can be read as the story of a half-century of Spanish cinema. The candid and sometimes stark recounting the glories and miseries of a film that in the absence of directors of genius, has enjoyed great players.

Landa (Pamplona, 1933) has never concealed that spends nasty. After his retirement, only he would dare to reveal the "complex personality" of Fernando Fernan-Gomez, "a special player, that the third whiskey and for no apparent reason became sullen, aggressive and despotic, battering his wife (Emma Cohen) and to put forward. " In their attacks cholera could smash the tape of a journalist. "Now Fernando is dead, and the dead were canonizes fast and become saints of almanac. Fernando was not, of course. "

First person

Written in first person, like a long confession of his protagonist, 'Alfredo el Grande' portrays a family man and worker until exhaustion. An interpreter born outside the language and the ways of 'Method', who after dazzling in the University Theater is almost bound to embody in the film to españolito half, naughty and left in comedies that do not deserve it. Only in 1968 chained five feature films: 'The underdeveloped', 'We are not stone,' 'Farewell married', 'Those who play the piano,' and 'The dynamite is served. " "It continued jumping from film to film as it goes from bed to bed."

His memory is not the elusive encontronazos. Landa know that thanks to a Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez is known as "El Morito 'in the profession. "It has always been an educated man, but more than a turtle shell." When Manuel Summers wrote 'We are not stone' for Navarre, Lopez Vazquez called the director and offered to interpret charging below its cache. Even for free. Landa spent two years without talking to steal his role. Gracita Morales, another icon of our cinema-committed the only mistake in which a comedian should never fall: it is believed. "It was lovely and became a woman capricious, despotic, intractable. Could reach a shooting and say 'you throw in that, I fell ill. " It became very bad for the nerves and stopped calling because they did not comply and because, frankly, do not stand anyone. He finished with a very fucked in the head that became a shadow of itself. "

Without acrimony, the protagonist of 'Crack' shared burlap with the reassurance of someone who is back from everything. His neighbor of San Sebastian Antxón Eceiza spelled out in 'From this body,' one of the first attempts to explore their dramatic side. "Entering the set, you imagine the worst place to put the camera, not failed, there had been planted." Imperio Argentina to hold on to 'Tata mine' still causes nightmares. "A monster in person. A horror. A spoiled little girl, paid for itself. A diva in the worst sense of the word. I say 'Tata mine' and I opened an ulcer. " An intriguing Pilar Miro, the chaotic Luis Garcia Berlanga and a selfish Tony Leblanc also receive collejas.

90,000 pesetas per month

Happy in their lives retired from Madrid, San Sebastian and Marbella, Landa modesty and reserve the discretion to talk about his family. His wife Maite-fifty years together, and their three children, Idoia, Alfredo and Ainhoa. Four years ago, overcame a colon cancer and since then walk an hour every day. He has not given up on the items of mus, of the martinis and chat with friends, who never invited its' black beast ': Jose Luis Dibildos. In 1967, the producer is tempted with a contract that the actor signed without reading. For three years would receive 90,000 pesetas per month ... without seeing a hard earnings of the films. Landa thought of hiring a thug to load the husband of Laura Valenzuela.

'Alfredo el Grande "also solves one of the last mysteries of Spanish cinema: his disagreement with Jose Luis Garci, the filmmaker who knew him hard to see how the detective of' Crack 'and the executive caught up in' The green meadows." The two great friends stopped speaking when Garci, who has spent years since leaving the academy, he refused to hand him the honorary Goya.

That night last February 3, Alfredo Landa put a knot in the stomach to viewers to stammer for ten minutes to collect his second Goya for the night. "Not what I've spent worse in my life, I lost control of my nerves. And no, I had not taken any tranquilizer. I did not worse in my past life. " The president Zapatero reassured him the next day with a telegram and a box of Irish whiskey.

Eurovision again, this time with a jury to avoid Chikilicuatres

The public will select the candidates, and the winner, but between those two steps you will have a jury that prevents Eurovision in 2009 to reach a representative Spanish so peculiar as last year's, Rodolfo Chikilicuatre.

Shortly after announcing the final list of candidates, a total of 50, formed by the five artists or groups voted for each of the ten categories. All of them will participate in special programs that some Spanish Television delivered during the month of February. They come from the ten finalists who were beat in a special program at the last to be decided, finally, who will get the ticket to travel to Moscow.

The requirements for participation

The candidates to represent the Spanish Television should have Spanish citizenship or prove residency in Spain for at least two years, have an original song and unpublished until October 2008 and own intellectual property rights and industrial and have completed the song 16. As for the issues, have a maximum duration of 3 minutes and the letter (in any language) can not be confrontational, disrespectful or contain ideological messages.

To be the fifth member of the jury

May register music professionals who can show not tied to any candidate to represent Spain in the Junior Eurovision 2009.

The process they have to make the jury candidates is similar to that of the candidates onto the stage in Moscow: to create a profile on MySpace, record a video presentation of the candidacy, explaining who believes that should have won the festival last year , And fill out the form.

Cardinal Rouco: "Sometimes you need to know to forget" The exhumations of mass graves damaged "social harmony", argued Bishop

The cardinal archbishop of Madrid, Antonio Maria Rouco, said yesterday that "it is sometimes necessary to forget," in reference to the controversial development of the so-called Law of Historical Memory, which the bishops have execrable from the beginning. Rouco equated concern about this law in society with the now caused by the economic crisis. He said that in his first speech before the plenary of the Conference of Bishops, chaired for the second time since last March. The cardinal said such topics as "two of the concerns that they feel at this moment in society." Prescribed remedy for its "solidarity and reconciliation."


Rouco contends that reconciliation is through neglect. He said on the implementation of the Law of Historical Memory: "There are few who express a justifiable concern about the danger of a deterioration in the serene coexistence and reconciled. The history of Spain has been, unfortunately, marked by tensions over once led to fratricidal clashes. Thank God, the current international situation and national levels is not the same. But it is always necessary to monitor to prevent root attitudes, words, strategies and everything that could fuel a confrontation that could stop being violent. It is necessary to cultivate the spirit of reconciliation, slaughtered and generous, who chaired the social and political life in the years called for the transition to democracy. Sometimes you need to know to forget. Not because of ignorance or cowardice, but under a desire for reconciliation and forgiveness truly responsible and strong. It is what might be called a truly healthy and purification of memory ".

Cardinal from Madrid who is sponsoring more enthusiastically the beatification Mass of Catholics killed between 1934 and 1938, years in which the bishops believe that was the greatest religious persecution in history. The Vatican has beatified or canonized and 977 of those victims and announced a month ago that there were 500 people in other portfolio, the total of 10,000 who wants to raise the altars Spanish bishops.

Rouco believes, however, that seriously damaged the "social harmony" the desire of others to look into mass graves or in the gutters of Spain remains of their relatives, buried like animals during the Civil War and in the early years of dictatorship Franco, who sponsored the Catholic church and enshrined as a Crusade.

Rouco's thesis is that "young people have to release them as soon as possible in the ballast of the past, not charged with old grudges and resentments, but helping to strengthen the will of harmony and friendship."

On the economic crisis, the cardinal called "pay attention to the moral responsibilities," referring to the "moral relativism" that has fostered indifference by the service to the common good, the greed of the gain fast and disproportionate and waste and ostentation, privately and publicly.



"We respect the sentence, as we have done with similar," says Minister of Education, Sport and Social Policy

Mercedes Cabrera, on the failure of the Magistrate's Court in Valladolid which requires a public to remove crucifixes of the classroom. "The Constitution continues Cabrera says that Spain is a secular State and, therefore, the school must also be. And parents and school boards have the right to request the removal of religious symbols. "
But the Constitution recognizes the special situation of Catholicism in Spain ...
- Yes, and it is a reality that we have respected and that is respected in education. But the state, public, is denominational and must be neutral in matters that fall within the scope of the private.
- Is not this ruling will create a new conflict in school?
-No. In fact, there is nothing forbidden, and also in most schools already meet this principle.
- If other parents seek the opposite of that has been the subject of the sentence?
-There will always be to uphold the Constitution.
- What if the center decides to keep religious symbols?
What we say is that if sentences parents ask what should be withdrawn and democracy in the Constitution and court rulings require us all.
- What is the standard of performance of the schools?
In the past few years have removed religious symbols at a time that has been the knowledge of besides respecting the religious beliefs and to all the heterogeneity that has been gaining ground in schools and elsewhere in the country.
"Citizenship is taught without any problems, except where decisions have been taken unexplained"
-How will the school has lived in this process?
-There has been a very widespread and there has been quite normal, as is both constitutional principles and to the fact that we have in this country with a population increasingly heterogeneously with very different beliefs.
-The verdict carries the risk of blurring other problems, including the failure and dropout. Let's talk about the Sector Conference on Education where he has addressed this issue.
What we have discussed and agreed with the autonomous communities is the beginning of a plan with a series of measures to reduce school dropout rates.
- What is it?
-You have a set of proposals whose novelty is that this is about students, families, government, teachers and social agents. The reasons for this implication is that neglect can be explained in terms of education has, but has another aspect arising from the economic and social context in which it occurs.
- How will mean to students?
-Students will have more training opportunities through the diversification of the teachings and SMS mechanisms to recover for the education system to young people without qualifications,
- And the parents?
-It will drive parents and schools will promote measures to facilitate their attendance at school meetings with teachers of their children.
- How will commit to the social?
-We call on employers and unions to promote a culture of education-labor prime possession of at least the title of Secondary Education (ESO) in young people's access to employment.
- Is not this a toast to the sun?
-The toast to the sun are great. However, this is what we are proposing measures which, moreover, are already used in other countries. Some are feasible in the short term, others need a discussion and agreements longer. In short, this is an initial plan, a package that is not closed. We will have to incorporate other after the assessment to submit the plan by the Bureau on dropout has been formed.
"The Constitution says that Spain is a secular State and, therefore, the school must also be '
- Are easy to implement measures?
-Honestly, in practice is difficult. But we must try to achieve, over time, and the roads needed to convince employers that it is good that young people they hire have a minimum cualifación pro and they give the possibility to continue their education. If you do not put them in a role as targets'll ever battle. We need to go in that direction.
- Is it moving in this direction the reform of vocational training?
-Right. Many young people may return to the educational system, which left at a time of bonanza labor to fill jobs without qualification. We have data that with the economic crisis they lose those jobs and others find it difficult to achieve. Many want to return to school to succeed and this is a good time. We can have an economic situation that is bad for some things and others less so. And this is one of them.
-You are marked 2012 as the deadline for halving the rate of early school leavers who are in Spain is estimated at 31%?
One brand-goals high. It is true that it is not easy but not impossible. I think of the data years ago, and we have been moving in a decade that rates do not change much.
- With what resources count for this plan?
-The resources for the implementation of the LOE in 2009, 121 million euros, we will allocate priority to those programs to respond to the commitment to reduce abandonment.
- Will they be enough?
-It is possible that you have to look for new resources and we do, but we can not stop thinking what are we going to do for lack of means. With which we must go by launching initiatives and calculate what is needed to launch it with a commitment to evaluation.
- Are all agree?
-There is agreement on all administrations as noted in the meeting with the communities. We must learn from each other and make an example of the measures already implemented in some autonomy.
-This course has continued the implementation of the Organic Law of Education (LOE), what does it balance?
-Both the past and this course, the news is good. Although it is too early to assess its impact, we saw that, since the entry into force, the law has given us the framework to meet the challenges of education.
- Was it impossible to reach a broad agreement for approval?
In our long-democracy we have examples of how difficult it is to reach agreements in education. But it's more complicated to achieve between parties that in practice. I think, however, that disagreement is a short walk because we are all convinced of the importance of education for our children's future.
- Is there in practice the right to choose a school?
-Do not give in its entirety but if a large part. It is not easy for all parents to send their children to school in the first election option because they do not meet all legal requirements. There is choice and diversity but we can improve. As for the election, the greatest misfortune that could happen would be to fall in front of the constitutional principle that parents have the right to choose the schools would do so.
- What must be said of Citizenship Education?
-It is providing seamless, except in communities where the authorities have taken decisions inexplicable.



Juan Goytisolo wins National Letters

A career, a life surrendered to the floor, to literature, it is recognized that the National Literature Prize (awarded by the Ministry of Culture and endowed with 40,000 euros), who yesterday was awarded to Barcelona writer Juan Goytisolo.
Accustomed to the warmth of the climate of Marrakech where he lived for many years, the inclement cold yesterday to thrash cute in Madrid, the author of "Signs of Identity" appeared to leave icy, icy, almost as much as the valuation of the prestigious award given to made before a large group of journalists who had mounted guard (with the guys in the press pink) at the door (well, at the hall, thanks to the kindness of the employees) the centrally located hotel they were staying. "It is a story, nor good nor bad, just a story. At my age, any prize-ago illusion drew resounding Goytisolo. I have given period. Like I would feel if he had been the Cervantes prize. I am not rude, nor want to be rude, but I did not cause any excitement receive a prize. I just got back from Mexico, and what they really wanted me to sleep at this time was a couple of hours and give me a good swim. "
After some initial steps but forthright with titles like "Games of hands' (1954) and" To live here '(1960), in 1966, Goytisolo began publishing one of the most demanding works of contemporary Spanish literature, the trilogy Alvaro Mendiola including three of the most disruptive and influential narrative of the post-Spanish Civil War: "Signs of Identity" (1966), "Claiming the Count Don Julian (1970) and" John Landless "(1975 ). In them, Juan Goytisolo (also the brother of novelist and poet Luis Goytisolo Jose Agustin Goytisolo, who died years ago) reconstructs a fresco of our contemporary history, innovative and unorthodox in the way in the back, through a prose of great human and literary. Life and work of the second of Goytisolo not always been received with enthusiasm in his own country, which has stayed away (physically and geographically) for more than half his life. "When a work is alive, always arouses resistance-assured yesterday. I always I have taken the attacks as confirmation that he was on the right track. The truth is that if you give me an award, the first reaction is to doubt myself now, if I declare persona non grata, I'm not misguided about what I am doing. "
"I have learned so much from the diversity and cultural mix of Miguel de Cervantes', underlines the creator of" Makbara "
The work of Juan Goytisolo has not only run through the fields of the novel, has also been a prolific author of books of travel, of thin nose and clean sight as "Fields of Nijar" (1954), "Snapshots from a trip to Cuba "(1962) and" Book of Sarajevo "(1993). Equally, has already been registered as an important piece essays with titles like "Problems of the novel" (1959), "van tail" (1967) and "The saga of Marx" (2005), among others. An extensive and varied work of an author who says that live quite outside the literary life, its promotions cenacles and its, 'because I believe that culture is one thing and cultural life quite another. In addition, I have never considered a national asset, I am horrified any nationalism. "
Away, then, the circuits and their literary stabbing, Goytisolo lives, as he himself says, "surrounded by people who do not speak Spanish ', which does not prevent the creator of" Makbara "(1980) observed with considerable concern" the rightist of European societies and persecution of immigrants ", since it shows absolutely sure that" culture is a mixture of external influences that have been receiving over the years. And I, personally, of the cultural mix I've learned as much as Cervantes. "
Nor does the exercise of amnesia Juan Goytisolo (who lost her mother during a bombardment on Barcelona's aviation Franco) and brought before the much carried historical memory "law on this may lead to lost, but we can not forget that while the victims of the anarchy of the early days of the Civil War are in the glory, the rest of persecution and missing must continue rotting in mass graves. "
Then, between ironic and solemnly said that "I am not a chicken laying birth books all day, every novel of mine is a literary completely different. I think that's the mission of a writer, returned to society a cultural legacy than the one that received ". Finally, Juan Goytisolo said that "more than ever, in these difficult times and crises, the culture is a handle to the people. There are many causes worthy of being defended, could be listing all night. "
It is assumed that nobody is a bitter sweet, even literary, but Goytisolo, rather than leaving him bitter cold. Ice cream. Luckily, Marrakech cure everything.

The sentence is for the trial held in the Second Division of the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands, between 27 and Oct. 30 in the second leg of the 68 that make up the so-called 'case Andratx', for the construction of a restaurant in protected zone by the brother of former mayor, Juan Carlos Hidalgo. The hearing has been sentenced to Juan Carlos Hidalgo to one year and six months' imprisonment for forgery of an official document, as well as another three months in prison for planning prevarication, that penalty can be replaced by a fine of 3,600 euros. Massot, director general of Land in the last legislature, was also sentenced to 8 years' disqualification from public office or employment for the crimes mentioned above and must pay a fine of 12,000 euros. Eugenio Hidalgo has been acquitted of the crime of forgery of official document and prevarication and the brother of the former mayor of crime against the land-use planning. In addition, the judges of the Second Section of the High Court has sentenced to Massot and Juan Carlos Hidalgo to pay two-eighths of the costs of the trial, and Eugenio Hidalgo to one-eighth, and have officially declared the five remaining parts. The penalty is less than the request of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office for seven years in prison for Eugenio Hidalgo and Massot, and five and a half years for Juan Carlos Hidalgo. Specifically, the Public Ministry had requested five years to Massot and the former mayor on charges of forgery, and two years for both urban prevarication. In the case of Juan Carlos Hidalgo called for three years and six months for the crimes of falsehood and prevarication, respectively, and two for the crime against the land-use planning. The sentence is evident that Juan Carlos Hidalgo "is vividly reflected the qualification of rustic land and its status as protected as Natural Area of Special Interest (ISNA), but still proceeded" to carry out the works, construction and reforms necessary to change the use of existing housing and turn it into a restaurant. " The order states that Juan Carlos Hidalgo and his brother, then alderman of Urban Development, convinced Jaume Massot, who was head of the Department of Urban Planning of the City Council of Baguio, "to carry out those administrative actions were necessary or desirable, even if they were illegal, for obtain such a purpose. " The sentence is evident that Massot issued certificates as well as building permits and activity to make possible the construction of the restaurant, knowing that he was in a protected area, and later avoided a fine of Consell de Mallorca, arguing that the City Council and handled a record penalty for that building and legalized the work. The judicial process began on November 5, 2007, on the complaint lodged by the Prosecutor's Office of the High Court of Baleares (TSJIB) before the magistrate's court number 12 in Palma, against Eugenio Hidalgo, Jaume Massot and Juan Carlos Hidalgo. The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office accused them of continuing in an official document forgery committed by official prevarication town and a crime against the land-use planning, the construction of an Italian restaurant in a rustic farm land classified as protected category of ISNA.

Roca won the National Comic

Paco Roca poses with his original drawings. / J. ALEMANYPaco Roca (Valencia, 1969) sounded in the pools as one of the favorites to lift the Premio Nacional Comic this year. An award needs to put in place a discipline that is living one of its best moments, with new readers who are approaching the half thanks to the award-winning works such as' Best Sellers', an emotional connection and a portrait of senile degeneration in the already devastated Hall of Barcelona. The trophies have done nothing but confirm the excellent reception of an album that was born in France of the hands of the publisher Delcourt. In our borders, ably Astiberri bet for a compelling comic book, which uses a subtle sense of humor and exploiting the enormous potential of the medium to deliver poetic images that speak of a complicated issue, Alzheimer's disease, cashless cheap. "I worry about old age," explained the author COURIER few months ago. "My parents are older, and every time I talk to them give me a detailed medical report on how they are, what medications must take ingest and what to counteract the side effects of the first." The National Comic Prize, awarded by the Ministry of Culture and endowed with 20,000 euros, was inaugurated last year by Max, whose great talent was a veneer of prestige to an award highly anticipated by fans at the ninth art. Have proven this year finalists' Estraperlo and tram, by Alfons Lopez, and "Mary and I ', and Maria de Miguel Gallardo. In the end, the jury has tilted the balance and has opted for a proposal capable of reaching any kind of audience that is moved into a slippery slope without falling. Inspired him to author the father of one of his best friends, suffering from Alzheimer's. 'It seemed a very cultured and intelligent person. I always saw with its huge library and listening to music. It seemed to me an example of what I would like to be his arrival retirement age. That is why it was a blow to see the degeneration that he was suffering from the disease. I think the worst imaginable. Devour our memories, everything lived, sensations, feelings ...». In the Hall of Getxo Far from being carried away by the topic to addressing 'Wrinkle', Roca was documented in depth on the subject. He visited nursing homes for months and talked to doctors, nurses and the elderly. Virtually everything that appears in comic books are drawn from real anecdotes such talks. The story that starts with the entry of an elderly man in a residence, away from dramón tear, something has been chosen as material support for associations that combat disease.

The art of Barceló silenced criticism

Thirty-five thousand pounds of paint suspended in the air holes, stalactites, waves, beautiful colors. From below, the view changes at every turn. The sea, a cave, a message of hope. The play is so great that it is ill defined for the eyes. People were between haunted and excited. Miguel Zugaza, director of the Museo del Prado, described the piece as "the most important Barceló and better public cultural project undertaken by Spain in decades." Figures The King praised the leadership of Barceló in the UN headquarters VIDEO - VNEWS - 18-11-2008 The hall includes in its dome built in the Mallorcan artist Miquel Barcelo. - VNEWS Other videos UN (United Nations) DEPTH Headquarters: New York (USA) Directors: Ban Ki-moon (Secretary General) See full coverage Previous Next Other photographs The 'Sistine Chapel' of Barceló PHOTOS - AGUSTÍ TORRES - 30-10-2008 On September 10, 2007 began work in the white dome of the hall of the UN (above). Nine months later, on June 10, 2008, the painter must sign in the center of his work and closed. The change is evident in this assembly .- AGUSTÍ TORRES . 1 of 8 The news on other websites Websites in Spanish in other languages Zugaza: "The best cultural project made public by Spain in decades" The writer Rosa King said that he will donate the money to cooperation While others were still talking about money, the piece began to launch its world metaphors: risk, solidarity, innovation, dialogue, multilateralism real, more human rights. Great art, full of proposals and symbols: an expert in candy for any government that is able to communicate things in a reasonable way. Not for this, that after having the good sense to go for donating a "single work" (as he called the president Rodriguez Zapatero) will be entangled in a controversy perfectly avoidable. The piece by Miquel Barceló in Room XX at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, which now will be Hall of Human Rights and the Alliance of Civilizations, had a long dazzling start. Los Reyes, Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, the president Zapatero and Foreign Minister, Miguel Angel Moratinos, chaired the event along with Ban Ki Moon, secretary general of the UN; Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish prime minister and a driver with Spain of the Alliance of Civilizations, and the Swiss president, Pascal Couchepin. There were over 700 guests, many people remained standing, and also attended by entrepreneurs who have made private funds, a large group of leaders from the Commonwealth Balear and 40 friends of the artist. Barceló not sat at the table and this time was no tie. When he came to speak, he simply read a short text and exquisite on the dome. In French, Spanish and Majorcan, in that order, and although there were translators. After the video was screened Agustí Torres who narrates the process of production of the play, and a long ovation to the artist acknowledged his titanic work. "More than with the Sistine Chapel, the dome has to do with other chapels wonderful as those of Manet or that of Rothko, and above all with Altamira," said Miguel Zugaza. "A Barceló always liked this world. It's in the modern tradition that represents no power but the world's diversity and citizenship. The play will be very important for him and for the twenty-first century. And it's the best possible projection of Spanish modernity. " Mali came from friends of the Dogon Country, where he lives Barceló in the winter. Amon and Amassayu Dolo were long the most elegant of the party, and said that the dome reminded the holy cave of his tribe. "When I look at me to move suggested phrases and dialogues. Our grotto has roots of trees. It is sacred because that is where is the water. When there is no water we have to make sacrifices of animals," Amon counted. Of Spanish art were Soledad Lorenzo, Elvira Gonzalez, the professor and patron of the Prado, Jose Milicua, and Professor Ybars, among others. The Italian gallery owner Pilar Corrie, which opens next week a sample of watercolors of marine Barceló in London (price: 35,000 euros to 200,000), underlined that the controversy over the financing of the work has forgotten a key factor: "There is no more Four or five artists in the world capable of dealing with a space like this. Miquel and only a couple more could have been faced with that. " The Guatemalan writer Rodrigo Rey Rosa, author of the book that tells the nine months of slaughter in Geneva, believes his friend Miquel Barceló dedicate a portion of their fees to cooperation projects. "I am sure you would go, as it has always done so privately, to help African countries". The painter silent. Is tired of a controversy that considers arbitrary and bizarre. His cache in Geneva, where the Spanish painter contributed most of the time, walks around six million euros, less than one third of the total cost of the work, told this newspaper sources close to the painter. When compared with what they are worth their works on the market, a figure is almost laughable. But he is hurt and has chosen silence. It may well spread to those souls who have been shocked at the cost of a work that since yesterday is already history of art. And so perhaps the government will know how to explain how naturally public money is spent. Walking under 1,400 square meters of excitement created by Barceló in Geneva, the first thing that comes to mind is that rarely a government will have invested in a project with such cultural approach such as this. The sergeant of the security forces of the UN SABALO Elias, born in Luarca and emigrant in Switzerland since 33 years ago, noted yesterday the dome full of satisfaction. "It's great, sensational," he said. "Now what we need is that the chamber works and improve human rights."

Diario de Cadiz Cadiz Cadiz The star of the Bicentennial project get off

The start of construction of the castle of San Sebastian was not an opening to use with the laying of the cornerstone. This time it was quite the opposite because a bulldozer was responsible for starting the shooting down of the first buildings added to the original construction, in this case, the dormitories of the troops.

Subsequently, the managing director of the Consortium, Maria Luisa Garcia Juarez, was responsible for explaining the rehabilitation is going to carry out the public company Tragsa. As there was no question time for the press, was not unveiled the budget that is going to have the work, something that was not confirmed by anyone of those consulted by this newspaper, although one of them said only that "it would be very expensive" . Teófila Martinez also was happy because he had pulled the commitment of the Vice President of the Government that after 2012 the castle would happen at the hands of Cadiz, ie the City Council. Fernandez de la Vega, meanwhile, said he was convinced that the rehabilitation of the Castle of San Sebastian "is the beginning of a major project to recover for gaditanos part of their history. A castle that for centuries was a defensive fortress and that very soon will be a strong opening and illusion. " And it is that the speeches of politicians were quite literary. In this regard, the vice president of the Government said that this island, the castle, "has seen how much they have contributed gaditanos to the world and will continue to witness how much we are going to continue." Fernandez de la Vega referred to the importance that is going to have Cadiz in the Spanish presidency of the European Union in 2010 and the holding of the Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State who will be "a unique opportunity that we are going to take this opportunity to strengthen the privileged relations that this village has with the Latin American republics. " As a result, will create an antenna of the Casa de America in the Castle of San Sebastian and another center in an iberoamerican Jail Real, which made reference yesterday De la Vega. For the vice president, "we have an excellent cruising speed and we are already seeing the fruits of the joint work of all administrations." Manuel Chaves did not settle for act of protocol and decided to make a tour across the fortitude to hear spot throughout the rehabilitation project. The chairman of the Andalusian believes that the Castle of San Sebastian will be "the most monumental legacy of the Bicentennial," as was the Plaza of Spain's first century, "with the difference that this is a legacy alive." Chaves believes that the year 2008 "made a good start" on the road to the Bicentennial because "they have realized and laid the foundation of a good number of performances that make the Bay of Cadiz in the heart of democratic constitutionalism." He also noted that the year 2009 "will be a key year" for moving to Spain and the world the image of Cadiz as the center of constitutionalism and the Bicentennial event as the first order. " Within the speech institutionalist, Manuel? Released some Chaves another message as it is necessary to maintain "the highest degree of commitment, trust and institutional loyalty on the part of all governments involved." The other focused on the logo for the Bicentennial of the Constitution with La Pepa as the flags. "The approval of the distinctive mark of the Bicentennial has sought such involvement and complicity with the public. To do so, this could not be another brand that La Pepa 2012, because it is genuinely popular name 12 of the Constitution. " Teófila Martinez was very happy with the start of the works and showed again their complicity with Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega. Martinez called it "a dream" building starts in a place where yesterday how he was not mayor of all-Cadiz "until we went into the military fortress for the first time. The popular leader was very happy because after 2012 the complex will regret at the hands of the city, said that for years the council had bet here because I had the utmost importance in the Bicentennial and said it will be the exponent "of effort of Cadiz

'Sfumato' Wins Award for Novel Unicaja Fernando Quinones

Failure of the X Prize were Novel Unicaja stretched over three hours and was, according to Valeria Ciompi, editorial director of Alliance, a "stimulating discussion" between persons of "great personal and literary." Part of what was due to discuss Sunday night among the jurors was reflected in the official notice of the award, where Camilo J. Cela Conde, Mariano Antolín Rato, Manuel Amaya Zulueta, Miguel Naver, Juana Salabert, Perez Azaústre and Nadia Consolani, widow of Fernando Quinones, analyzed the works that won. The winner of this year, Jordi Bonells (Barcelona, 1951), has been done with the 30,000 euros prize with Sfumato, a novel that chronicles the adventures of a chess more convulsed in the years of the twentieth century. Both Mariano Antolín Rato as Valeria Ciompi and Joanna Salabert stressed the "high quality" of writing a story that is being rebuilt "through ghosts," Ciompi said: "Bonells provides a constant dialogue with the past in the darkest moments of our recent history, in a web of stories that will reveal the main thread. In this world, the characters move like a chess game. The message of the novel really comes to be that you never know who you may be shaking hands. " The jury noted, moreover, that this ruling is granted "to the literary quality beyond the normal market." The fact that it has awarded to a novel "very intellectual" is to review 'at a time like the present-added Miguel Naver, when publishers are supposed to go around looking for writers who are not writers to attract readers who are not readers. " "It is curious that almost apologizing because we've won a book that is a fact book for readers," said Juana also Salabert, which indicated that Sfumato is not an expert chess title for a book or complicated structure, but a history of references and games with the past. On the other hand, Maria José Rivera Ortún, Professor of Mathematics at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, was named a finalist with the work Harmattan. Rivera Ortún signing it with his first novel, previously only had written investigative articles and stories. "It's very beautiful it is a first play-Azaústre said Joaquin Perez, winner of last edition of the prize. Harmattan I would define as a story of the characters, with an eroticism outside usual between two women and one which recounts precisely what's happening in those places where nothing ever happens. " For Camilo Jose Cela Conde, the finalist presents "a language unsuitable for a first novel," and shares many of the keys of literary excellence that is looking at the prize. "Even if talk of the plot, with the exotic scenery of the Sahara, would pass through an airport novel." Unicaja-Fernando Quinones Novel were presented this year 205 novels from Spain, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Belgium, Cuba, Mexico, France, Costa Rica, Colombia and Portugal. In this tenth anniversary, which makes the decade without Quiñones, Nadia confessed Consolani wonder, sometimes, why they got in trouble for these writers. And it's very easily resolved. It's one more way of being with Fernando

The status of teachers of Religion Confronts the Board with the Church

The Information Office of Bishops of the South (Odisur), who umbrella-Andalusia, Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla-disseminated through a communique on its website that the owner of Andalusian Education apologized at the meeting held last Nov. 11 by the "chaotic start of course in the subject of Religion." One end that the very Jimenez denied yesterday from Almeria, as Europa Press reported. Jimenez declined to "assess" the communique but concluded that "at all" started the period 2008-2009 as the body ensures that the Church but, he argued, has been marked by the guidelines of the new law. The counselor called the meeting to be held at the headquarters of the Ministry in Seville with the apostolic administrator of Malaga, Antonio Dorado Soto, for "cordial and friendly" and the release issued by Odisur maintained that the interview took place "in an atmosphere fraught with affability. " Despite the positive tone in which the match-Counseling represented by its proprietor and the Deputy Minister Sebastian Cano-and-Odisur with Monsignor Dorado accompanied by the technical secretary of Education Francisco Ruiz-reducing the number of hours of classroom teachers who suffer Religion is the topic of friction. A drop that Bishops of the South as "drastic". The new legislation which referred to Teresa Jimenez represents the adequacy of the new Education Law (LOE), namely that the ESO in the subject loses an hour. The Board also argues a reduction in demand among students. However, since the very Counseling ensure all "due to the student who is applying lessons of Religion." Odisur sources confirmed yesterday that the counselor will specified that his apology was due to the delay in the convening of a joint commission between the parties which must take place three times a year, though not celebrated since 2007. In any case, the communique Odisur remained on the Internet last night in anticipation of another who had planned to make public today. In Andalusia there are nearly a thousand teachers of religion without a specific agreement. In this way, and after a meeting between the groups affected, it was found that teachers with more seniority are those who lose fewer hours.
