A strike against the poor
It seems obvious, for a considerable part of the population, that there are strikes that are made by order, and that hide behind the cry of freedom and democracy -and we obviously speak of public companies -when they actually provide poor service to the population, especially to the poorest. Let’s look at the case of the CP strike, which year after year continues to play with the lives of thousands and thousands of people. I cannot understand the reason for any government to have the courage to say publicly what is at stake. How much workers win and what they require, even for each of us to draw their conclusions. As has already been noticed, far left parties like to earn on the streets what they can’t get at the polls, controlling fundamental unions for the functioning of societies: whether in health, transport or education.
How is it possible for a public company to paralyze part of the country, using stratagems that have very little democratic? What is the reason for CP to have 14 unions? Does this make any sense? None, but no government has the courage to end this authentic clowning-personally it also makes me confusion to see strikes on Fridays and on Mondays. But is the CP in this state because of the remnants of the sprint in which Pedro Nuno Santos came to agree with the PCP, ensuring that the CP would never have competition? And I don’t even talk about privatization, which is fully justified in this case, because a company that spends part of its ‘paralyzed’ time has no great reason to exist. But we don’t have to get to this point, we need to know what the 14 unions that have called the strike demand – how much the different professions in the company win. For it can even be the case of being unfair to workers if they get miserably in a public company. But it doesn’t seem to me that it is.
Let us change needles. The election of the new pope was making a hide of life to some atheists, such was his commitment to which the church went to this or to that place. It seemed to me that I was seeing Sporting members wanting to vote for Benfica’s elections, or vice versa. Or BE militants wanting to decide the future leader of the Socialist Party. For those who follow the phenomenon, he knows that the great difficulty of a Pope is to get the balance between the different factions, avoiding a schism, which has been further. The Catholic Church has never been so influenced by those who want Christian morality to change paradigm, and turn into a kind of evangelical sect with the colors of the rainbow at the door. And I am not saying that the Church should not look at the new realities and that it must be able to welcome everyone. But the change should be done from the inside out and never from the outside in. Who does not agree, can always make a church! German reformists wanted what many want: the end of priest celibacy, women’s ordination, same -sex blessing and rear wings. But if this were suddenly approved, how many wouldn’t be the church? And that was Pope Francis’ ‘miracle’, he opened doors, but did not closed windows, asking the contrary factions to make his way until they reach a conclusion. After all, European morality has nothing to do with African or Asian morality, for example.
Finally, once again it was proved that whoever enters Papa in the Conclave leaves Cardinal there.
