If I tell Monica Van Campen have no idea who I mean, the truth is that I did not know his name until five minutes ago. Internet, the global database, has since Dutch name Valkyrie to teenage dream girl (and some years later) throughout Spain in the last eighties and early nineties, when each year was approaching Christmas or Father's Day. So the girl called Jacqs announcement : Seeking Jacqs .. . a myth that falls: one imagines a hottie fräulein style woman-of-Rafael Van der Vaart floating around looking for his motorcycle pichurri Jacqs ("Jacques?) while the zipper down, and I read on the Internet is that it is a Viking hits and despite its name the girl is from Sabadell.
Will I get older, but now my idol is a meek tits-the-wind, but is a gentleman bald, with glasses and dark suits. No, not Mortadelo, although there is an air. It's Miguel Angel Fernandez Ordonez, aka MAFO, Governor of the Bank of Spain. I have definitely lost out, at least aesthetically, with the change. Remember
Manuel Conthe? The ex-president of the CNMV made the mistake of questioning the Government on the matter Endesa and denouncing the moves against the president of BBVA directed from Moncloa its mate, the gourmet taster La Tache Romanee Conti Carlos Arenillas (coincidentally the husband of the then Ministrilla of (mis) education.) And that's anathema had to resign before which fell on him while Arenillas took the throttle a sumptuous dinner for two euros per 1,429 invited by the head of an investment fund ( euros in 1429, I have not missed a comma). Guaranteeing the independence of the CNMV, of course.
with digestion and done, Arenillas still holds several positions as a reward for their loyalty, trying, though, that in the case of institutions where they can go to dinner at Zalacain by the arm. As they say, is that eating lots of beluga caviar to win the chickpeas. And in this case Arenillas is sacrificed, despite himself, to bring a dish of lentils to your table: What life bitch and drag and dedication to service exemplary. I would not change it for him.
But I have strayed from the topic: Looking to MAFO, and we look for MAFO is the only one who sings the ZETAPAD truths. Well, also sings Joaquín Almunia, Commissioner for Economic Affairs of the EU and member of PSOE. Of course neither have to fear for their jobs, which certainly helps when it comes to saying what you think and what to do without fear of ending up in line at the INEM: MAFO has secured the post until July 2012. We can all have a particular ideology and hold public office, but the problem is to do or not to palm the Government from a supposedly independent institution. That makes some as Conde Pumpido (Attorney General) or the ineffable and traveler Baltasar Garzon.
Consider the concept of independent institution: the key lies in the independence, precisely. MAFO entered politics with Solchaga, Solbes or Boyer: No problem because we all have a starting point, and if MAFO vote for the PSOE and the PP, the Maoist Communist League or the English Falange de las JONS, is your problem. Mine, and all others, is that his performance as head of an institution like the Bank of Spain is guided by orthodox criteria, technical and balance. And independence, missing more.
BDE no longer sets monetary policy English, a task for all Euroland today corresponds to the timid and mellifluous Jean Claude Trichet from Frankfurt. However, far from having been like a rex Tyranosaurus without content and on the verge of extinction, its current role is to put the counterpoint to the economic policy of government of the day. And who better than a man who has clear economic orthodoxy to try to stop a gang of farmhands and Salgado, Sebastian and especially the very ZETAPAD , unlike MAFO learned economics in just two evenings with Jordi Sevilla.
MAFO suffers, but on the basis of the published Economic News (No. 2654), enjoys his polemic. And that is good, because that is their main function: If the government has no idea where the wind blows and is mortgaging the next generation of English, his duty is to say that you're getting to the bottom leg.
But when the concept of an independent institution for the Government (the spelling in case anyone has never seen this word referred to a public institution in Spain) is a man who claps his ears any occurrence, grateful to whom you make the grant to appoint and maintain, as they leave the Bulldogs to bark when I sing the truth: Salgado, Corbacho (possibly the most useless and incapable minister present), Sebastian de la Vega, Cucumber, unions, pet ... all cry because MAFO street and therefore granted. But no much MAFO MAFO.
For the Government, the whole world but they are wrong. No matter that we speak of the European Commission, IMF, OECD or of the BoS. The Government insists that the GDP of 2009 "only" 1.6% fall, although the data (no doubt hired by the opposition) insist in saying that we are already down 2.9% yoy. And of course, sent to silence any dissenting voices and independent. The mendacious
ZETAPAD speaks of the apocalyptic and unanimous forecasts of pension systems are scared shitless to poor elderly charged meager monthly pay. Another lie: My father collect his pension without any problem: I'm scared shitless that my 43 years old I have not of course I get to see a euro when it's my time.
Just today, Joaquín Almunia has again spoken of the need to increase the retirement age, the squeaky tight labor market, the in-competitiveness of our economy ... Believe me if I say no bitch makes me grace to retire at my 65 years still very distant. But less grace I will not collect the pension for which payment because there are not enough people already trading at the time: The truth can be harsh, but not cease to be true . It is the same saying that it takes months MAFO: Two Socialists do not laugh at bad jokes ZETAPAD . I wish I had a few more without fear of ending up high in the INEM.
