Estoy de acuerdo.
Me gusta mucho el hilo de juancarlosb, por ejemplo, pero desde hace 2 semanas se ha convertido en el "¿Habéis visto el Ibex35?" de los CDS y diferenciales de deuda, con 100 posts al día, y la gente histérica de alegría o depresión por cada ligera variación de los índices.
No está mal mantener cierta perspectiva.
Ya, pero me gustaría leer al ppcc cañero con la socialdemocracia, y su opinión respecto a que la reducción del déficit público al 3% recaiga en un 80% en los gastos de la Administración central, saliéndose de rositas Montilla y el resto de sanguijuelas CCAA.
En fín,
Dejo aquí un artículo del FT sobre el glorioso papel del embajador español en China, dando codazos para intentar vender CETMES a los asesinos de Tiananmen, y manchando irremediablemente nuestra presidencia semestral...
Gracias a DesdeLondres, quien enseña a mirar más allá.
FT - EU divided on lifting China arms embargo

The European Union’s efforts to speak with one voice on foreign policy are stumbling on the awkward question of whether to lift an embargo on arms sales to China.
The confusion coincides with China’s announcement that it will curb military exchanges with the US and impose other retaliatory measures in response to Washington’s decision to sell $6.4bn of arms to Taiwan.
The EU imposed its ban after the Chinese authorities’ crackdown in 1989 on pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square. It remains one of the sorest issues in EU-Chinese relations. But the latest trouble is significant mostly for what it says about the EU’s difficulties in establishing who sets the pace in European foreign policy: national governments, the country that holds the rotating presidency of the 27-nation bloc, or Lady Ashton, the Briton who is the EU’s newly appointed foreign policy supremo.
These matters were supposed to have been settled in December when the EU adopted the Lisbon treaty, a set of institutional reforms meant to strengthen the role of the foreign policy chief.
But Spain, which took over the presidency on January 1, put the cat among the pigeons when its ambassador to China said two weeks ago that Madrid intended to use its six-month spell in charge to “deepen discussions” on lifting the embargo.
Lady Ashton has remained silent on the matter, but some officials made clear that the ambassador had spoken out of turn. In Brussels, EU officials expressed amazement that Carlos Blasco Villa, the Spanish ambassador to Beijing, had spoken about lifting the embargo in an interview with China Daily, a state-controlled newspaper.
Serge Abou, the head of the EU’s delegation in Beijing, said Europe “gains nothing from making the debate public”.
The ban is a divisive question inside the EU, with some countries, such as France and Spain, keen on lifting the embargo, and others, including the UK, opposed.
The issue goes to the heart of two of the most sensitive issues preoccupying the EU – whether Spain is using its presidency to speak out more than it should on foreign policy, and whether Lady Ashton is asserting herself sufficiently in her new job.
However, a decision to lift the arms embargo would in the last resort require unanimity among the EU’s 27 governments – something they achieved last October, when they lifted an arms sales ban on Uzbekistan in spite of continuing concerns about human rights violations there.
Nuestra industria armamentística, ¿ es de las más dinámicas verdad ?
