(Hintergrund) Die Medienattacken gegen Ecuador schießen weit über ihr Ziel hinaus – Einen Tag nachdem die Regierung Ecuadors ihre Entscheidung bekannt gegeben hat, dem Wikileaks-Gründer Julian Assange politisches Asyl zu gewähren, überschlagen sich die Presseattacken auf den Staat, dessen moderat linksgerichtete Regierung eine Schlüsselrolle für die demokratische Erneuerung Lateinamerikas spielt. „Dass sich ausgerechnet eine Regierung wie die Ecuadors als Verteidigerin der Menschenrechte aufspielen kann, ist beschämend“, kommentierte die FAZ, ohne zu begründen, weshalb sie die ecuadorianische Regierung rhetorisch ohrfeigen zu dürfen glaubt. http://ow.ly/d50Ru

No-fly zone over Syria – West Hellbent

No-fly zone over Syria – West Hellbent On Replicating Libyan Model In Syria „This is a clear-cut intention to repeat the Libyan scenario,“ Dolgov says, referring to Clinton’s recent statement on a possible introduction of a no-fly zone over Syria, something that he says is little more than a call for an armed interference in Syria’s internal affairs. The no-fly zone stipulates destroying missile defense systems and launching air strikes, and it, in fact, means an armed invasion of Syria which can only be fulfilled without being endorsed by the UN. All the more so that Russia and China several times blocked the UN Security Council resolutions which paved the way for resolving the Syrian crisis through the Libyan scenario.“ http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_08_18/West-unwilling-to-cooperate-with-Russia-on-Syria/

Farm workers in southern Spain have launched a series of protest marches to get more government aid to help them deal with mass unemployment

Farm workers in southern Spain have launched a series of protest marches to get more government aid to help them deal with mass unemployment.
One of the politicians taking part in Thursday’s 20-kilometer (12-mile) procession was a small-town leftwing mayor, who admitted taking part in a Robin Hood-style looting of supermarkets last week. Juan Manuel Sanchez Gordillo said the protesters want aid for what he said were 350,000 families in the Andalusia region, in which no one has work or gets unemployment benefits. He told reporters he also wants authorities to halt evictions of families who cannot pay their mortgages. The marches are scheduled to take place in Andalusia’s eight provinces. Thursday’s left from Jodar, a town with a jobless rate of more than 40 percent. Nationwide it is nearly 25 percent.

Madrid. Spanish public sector workers blew whistles and horns Friday at a noisy rally in Madrid to protest against government cutbacks

Madrid. Spanish public sector workers blew whistles and horns Friday at a noisy rally in Madrid to protest against government cutbacks that include slashed salaries, AFP reported. The protesters – many waving red flags representing Spain’s two largest unions, the UGT and the CCOO, which organised the rally – gathered outside the finance ministry as they have every Friday this month. Demonstrations were held in other Spanish cities, said the two unions. These protests „will culminate on September 15 with a huge march in Madrid“ to demand that the government cutbacks be put to a referendum.
