is not the environment to the general strike of September 29 will have a massive following. Rather resignation prevails, the idea that labor reform, the lowering of wages and pensions, loss of rights, are inevitable and that nothing can be done. Worse, some believe that to oppose these brutal attacks on more vulnerable sectors of the population only bring misfortune even greater with the change of tenant at La Moncloa. Never any rights was graciously granted by power. It seems that we have forgotten the struggles that led to called welfare state now in danger, or women's suffrage. The current economic crisis, which was first financial-is inseparable from the ecological crisis. It's the way we produce, consume, move ... without respecting the physical limits of the planet that threatens the stability of markets and present and future health of individuals and their rights. At stake are social and labor rights, but there is something even more serious is at stake is the very nature of representative democracy. After the financial debacle, there was talk of a reform of capitalism that never came. Huge amounts of public money went to save the banks who had created the crisis with his fraudulent engineering financial. Now the markets put on the ropes to the states less and less sovereign-imposed draconian measures of adjustment. The rulers come to say they do not like having to attack our rights, but they have no choice but to do to get out of the crisis. Is the market big lie, "the market's invisible hand will pursue its own interest each reaching the common interest." The role of politics has been relegated to follow directions without democratic legitimacy agencies like the World Bank or International Monetary Fund or, worse still, dark powers in the shade. Therefore, given the weakness of governments or their complicity with the powerful, Citizens must take the voice and words. The strike itself will not change government policy. Five general strikes are the Greeks and continues the brutal social adjustment, rather than reduce the absurdly high military spending and commitments to buy Greek French and German tanks and aircraft. These days will be held UN Summit on Millennium Development Goals. A chance to start reforming the savage and predatory capitalism that goes from crisis to crisis by implementing a global tax on financial transactions and is asking the Ubuntu Forum. Can not and should resign and give up the very essence of politics and representative democracy. The markets are not that sacred totem imposes its law without alternative. Is false, is a human construction, based on unrestrained greed. Citizenship policy, deciding on public affairs, should place limits on the market. Limits to curb climate change and biodiversity loss. Limits to eliminate tax havens and financial speculation. If we give up the sovereignty of the citizens and the autonomy of their legitimate representatives in front of the black hand of the market, walk towards the abyss, the loss of rights, environmental disasters and Crissi of Democracy. Representative Democracy indeed limited and imperfect, but which is the only one we have.
