My Dog Has Flaky Patch Of Skin



leftmost there is no crisis
Polls: growing far-left Social Democrats at the stake.
Greeks and Germans pull the sprint. And Italy?

production to a minimum and skyrocketing unemployment, occupation of factories and the seizure of leaders, mass demonstrations. It is a time of crisis and crisis, so much economic as that of social democratic parties, put a little 'sparkle to the formations of the far left. Make them grow in the polls, as far as possible. Predictions indicate that the Gue, the United Left group that includes Scandinavian Communist parties and environmentalists, will strengthen the vote of 4-7 June, while facing a decline in European seats that will go from 785 to 736 as it wants the Treaty of Nice. According Predict09, a projection over the election results produced by the London School of Economics and Trinity College Dublin, Gue will increase from 41 to 44 MEPs. The success does not smile at all but equally on the continent. Pull the sprint are French, Dutch, Germans, Greeks and Portuguese, others trudging. And the Italian left, divided and disadvantaged by the new electoral law, but also that traditionally plays an important role in Strasbourg, is a true unknown. "The radical left - says Yves Meny, President of the European University Institute in Florence - is historically strong in France, Italy, Portugal, Greece, the countries of old radical tradition of struggle, with components including anarchist. These forms of protest are unknown in Britain and Scandinavia. " Not to mention the Eastern European countries, where the extreme left almost there, still pays the accounts of the past. "The vote for the extreme left - insists Mény - is also the son of the crisis of social democratic parties, which failed to meet the challenges of the last 20 years and that even where assumed to reconcile modernity and socialism, as the case of New Labour of Tony Blair, they have failed, ending in a crisis very black. " "The European left has never been so low since the Second World War," sums up the columns of Liberation Mario Telo, President of the European Institute of the ULB, Free University of Brussels. An item is not ideological, but physiological and not indicative of this crisis is the identity card of the voters of social democracy in Europe is the continent's oldest voters, a clear sign of socialism as I struggle to enter the hearts of young people, between the most exposed to the winds of crisis and insecurity. And a good chunk of these young people, therefore, moves to extremes, increasing the far left. Not only that, even the far right shows you more than ever present in the areas once a stronghold of social democracy and even before the communist parties. Polls indicate indeed a strong growth of the formations of neo-fascist and racist and xenophobic than in Britain, Romania, Slovakia, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Czech Republic and Bulgaria. A vote above the proletariat. Returning to the left, the success of radicalism has faces, languages \u200b\u200band new ways, from France. The NPA, the new anti-capitalist party of Olivier Besancenot, launched last February as the overcoming of the Ligue Communist Révolutionnaire. Besancenot, a spokesman for the NPA, has 35 years, continues to work as a postman in borghesissima Neuilly-sur-Seine, love football and rap music and is now, say the surveys, the politician best seen in France. The intention to vote his party is given at around 10%, launched by the social tension that reigns in the country, from large events that have followed from January to May and from the divisions of the Socialist Party, unable to handle that mounts a protest. "There are 10,000 reasons - said recently at a meeting in Spain - not to remain impassive, not to remain spectators watching what happens in the world, seeing the police just fired the workers who load. Beside the NPI gives signs of life even the PCF, the French Communist Party after the debacle of the presidential of 2007 predicted to exceed 5%. In Germany, Die Linke, the Left, Lothar Bisky and Oscar Lafontaine to take advantage of the loss of consensus of the Social Democrats with the opportunity to exceed 10%, a threshold exceeded by Socialistische Partija in Holland, the Socialist Party of the charismatic Jan Marijnissen, an ex-engineering that has transformed this training, begun in 1972 at all obvious from the confluence between the Maoists and Marxist-Leninists, in reality able to breach the Dutch company riding the issues of environmental protection and the fight against insecurity. Its symbol is a tomato. Expression of a plural left is the Bloque de Esquerra Portuguese, that in these European expected to exceed for the first time the historical Communist Party, Marxist and Leninist yet. The two formations of the extreme left should be the third and fourth parts of the country, a country heavily marked by the crisis. After the massive protests that have marked Athens, is also growing the far-left Greek, with much more heterogeneous than Synaspismos with the communist KKE. And the appearance of new players to the left will come up at the top of Gue. The gray French communist Francis Wurtz, MEP since 1979 and President of the GUE since 1999, is not standing for re a new term, paving the way for a successor, with the new name, that success will depend very much on the NPA in France and Die Linke, Germany.
