Durante sesenta años los panistas fueron un referente de la lucha cívica y doctrinaria contra el partido de Estado, los vicios del presidencialismo, los abusos del poder en las campañas electorales, el aplastamiento y control de los medios de comunicación y el sometimiento de un partido al mandatario en turno.
Pero en la última década –y conforme el PAN se fue acercando al poder hasta llegar a la Presidencia de la República– todos esos referentes que le dieron identidad durante años se fueron desvaneciendo poco a poco hasta prácticamente borrarse.
El poder se ha convertido para el PAN en una droga, en un brebaje que a cada sorbo va borrando al Dr. Jekyll para sustituirlo por ese monstruo llamado Mr. Hyde.

Cuando le conviene, nuestro vecino del norte y socio comercial se muestra muy estricto con terceros países al exigir el cumplimiento de normas precisas en favor de la salud y el ambiente. Así pasa, por ejemplo, cuando detiene en la frontera cargamentos de melón, jitomate o fresa alegando que contienen residuos de plaguicidas, razón por la que no pueden estar en la mesa de los estadunidenses. Se ha probado varias veces que ese celo protector es para resguardar las cosechas agrícolas locales y reducir las importaciones de otros países.

The U.S. State Dept. is taking steps to continue counterdrug operations in Bolivia, where it is arranging -- and will pay for -- the annual delivery of more than a quarter-million liters of fuel to the Government of Bolivia. According to a contracting document located via a routine search of the FedBizOpps database, this foreign-assistance program will enable the Morales Administration to carry out air-based operations executed in conjunction with the U.S. Embassy's Narcotics Affairs Section (NAS).

The Class-Consciousness Raiser
By the time Ruby Payne sat down for lunch, she had been at it for three hours straight, standing alone behind a lectern on a wide stage in a cavernous convention hall, parked between two American flags, instructing an audience of 1,400 Georgians in the hidden rules of class. No notes, no warm-up act, just Ruby, with her Midwestern-by-way-of-East-Texas drawl and her crisp white shirt, her pinstriped business suit and bright red lipstick and blow-dried blond hair, a wireless microphone hooked around her right ear. She had already explained why rich people don’t eat casseroles, why poor people hang their pictures high up on the wall, why middle-class people pretend to like people they can’t stand. She had gone through the difference between generational poverty and situational poverty and the difference between new money and old money, and she had done a riff on how middle-class people are so self-satisfied that they think everyone wants to be middle class.

Brasil, Argentina y Bolivia; el vaivén de las clases medias
El comportamiento social y político de la clase media es determinado por su posición e intereses de clase, así como por el contexto político-económico, al cual confronta. En el contexto de un régimen de derecha, con economía en expansión, créditos baratos e importación de bienes de consumo a bajo precio, la clase media es atraída a la derecha. En el contexto de un régimen de derecha con profunda crisis, la clase media puede ser parte de un frente popular amplio, que busque recuperar su pérdida de propiedad, ahorros y empleo. Cuando el régimen es un gobierno antidictatorial, antimperialista y populista, la clase media apoya las reformas democráticas, pero se opone a cualquier radicalización que ecualice condiciones con la clase trabajadora.

The Chancellor told reporters: "Only 25% of the money allocated is actually being spent because of delays at the centre and at provincial level.
"They are not short here of money to be allocated to infrastructure, the problem is the actual spending of it."
He said he would want to hear suggestions about how to move that process forward and would be making some of his own.
Mr Brown added: "On political reconciliation I want to know how they are going to move forward, and on the economy I want to know that things can move forward, and if I don't have suggestions from them I will put suggestions to them."
Mr Brown was also having talks in the Iraqi capital with the senior British officer, Lt General Graham Lamb, American Ambassador Ryan Crocker and the American Commander of the multi-national force, General David Petraeus.

But although profits were up, Siemens had been racked by bribery scandals and von Pierer fell on his sword, denying responsibility for anything that had gone on lower down the pecking order.
