Doble Aplec del Puig a València





La celebració de l'Aplec del Puig ha tingut dues convocatòries diferenciades. El Bloc ha celebrat la "39ª edició" al monestir del Puig aplegant centenars de persones i amb intervencions dels seus dirigents Àgueda Micó, Rafa Carbonell, Joan Baldoví i Jordi Sebastià. S'estrenava així la nova direcció escollida al darrer congrés. S'hi han lliurat els Guardons Bloc d’Honor, que enguany han recaigut en Enric Banyuls, l’Associació de Juristes Dones d'Alzira i El Tempir.

A la veïna muntanyeta de la Patà unes 250 persones seguien la convocatòria d'Esquerra Republicana del País Valencià (ERPV).  En aquest cas la "57ª edició" doncs és hereu dels primers aplecs. Les darreres dècades aquesta convocatòria havia estat assumida pel PSAN però després que aquest partit anunciés una aturada de les seues activitats l’any passat no el va organitzar. Enguany ha estat Esquerra Republicana del País Valencià qui se n’ha fet càrrec. L’acte polític ha comptat amb Gabriel Rufian, Josep Barberà o Francesc Viadel.

La Xina amenaça a Índia si reb al Dalai Lama

El govern del Partit Comunista Xinès ha elevat el to de les seves habituals amenaces arreu on és rebut el cap espiritual tibetà. Si el Dalai Lama és rebut, com està previst, a Arunachal Pradesh "les relacions entre Índia i Xina quedaran danyades i afectaran a la pau i l'estabilitat entre els dos estats." Pequin considera una zona d'Arunachal Pradesh com a part del Tibet i, per tant, com a seva arran de la invasió de 1962 quan tropes comunistes van ocupar la nació de l'Himalaia.

Rebrota la insurgència rohingya a Birmània

El govern birmà ha atribuït a un grup fins ara desconegut, Aqa Mul Mujahidin, els atacs del 9 d'octubre a Maungdaw, a la frontera amb Bangladesh. Assegura que els rebels són més de 400 i formen part de la minoria rohingya, històricament menyspreada per la resta de birmans i altament perseguida. En els atacs van morir 9 oficials de policia i 5 van quedar ferits. Els rebels es van endur un arsenal.

Entre el 10 i el 14 d'octubre l'exèrcit birmà va desplagar-se a la frontera i ha mort fins a 26 rohingya. Quatre militars han estat també assassinats en els combats.

Els rohingya són uns 1.100.000 i viuen a la zona de Rakhine, altament discriminats. Fins a 125.000 han hagut de fugir des que el 2.012 van ser atacats per altres ètnies. La Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO), fins fa poc considerada dissolta, ha estat acusada de donar cobertura als nous rebels. Els militars han cremat fins a 500 cases de rohingya els darrers dies i són acusats de violacions massives de dones musulmanes.

Neix el nou partit Oui au Pays Catalan

La nova formació política neix amb quatre eixos segons Fabienne Meyer:
1. Aturar el clanisme i el clientelisme.
2. Descentralitzar el poder a Perpinyà.
3. Dinamitzar l'economia.
4. Defensar la identitat catalana.


El nou partit polític de la Catalunya del Nord, Oui au Pays Catalan [Sí al País Català], és una realitat des d'aquest dissabte 15 d'octubre. L' acte fundacional de la nova formació, que s'ha fet a Perpinyà, ha servit per posar en marxa el que fins ara era un col·lectiu amb sensibilitats molt diverses però que comparteixen el sentiment de catalanitat. Catorze persones entre 33 i 63 anys han estat escollides a la direcció.

El coordinador de la formació, Jordi Vera, ha explicat que el motiu que porta a convertir en realitat aquest nou partit és la voluntat de "recuperar la catalanitat que ens han robat". Vera ha definit la formació com a social, identitària i en defensa de l'economia local. El dirigent ha dit que ja han guanyat la primera batalla doncs el nom Pays Catalan s'ha imposat clarament de forma social als pobles nord-catalans.

Vera ha volgut destacar els diferents punts de vista que hi ha dins el partit, i diu que això els dóna força. Amb tot, el coordinador del nou partit diu que són conscients de quin és el seu àmbit geogràfic i l'electorat al qual s'adrecen, però assegura que "van a totes" i que tenen previst presentar-se a totes les eleccions.

Plebisul: 600.000 persones voten per la independència del sud del Brasil

La consulta es va realitzar l'u d'octubre a tres estats del sud del Brasil: Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, i Parana. La va convocar el moviment de la societat civil Movimento O Sul é Meu País (MOSMP). El sud és la zona amb més Producte Interior Brut i menys criminalitat de tot el Brasil. Sul é Meu País denuncia la corrupció de les autoritats centrals de Brasília.

Amb capital a Porto Alegre, la zona secessionista reuneix una població, gens menyspreable de trenta milions de persones. El sí va guanyar amb un contundent 95,74 % dels vots i hi van participar 616.917 persones dels que només 26.253 es van mostrar en contra de la independència. Rio Grande do Sul va confirmar-se com l'epicentre de les aspiracions independentistes del sud en canvi a Parana  només van votar 2.000 persones. Les 1.278 urnes es van col·locar a 386 localitats.

Sul é meu país ha destinat 28.000 € a l'organització sense cap suport institucional. Més de quinze mesos d'esforç s'han esmerçat pel la jornada d'expressió democràtica. Oficialment la consulta fou respectada per les autoritats com una mobilització popular però es va destacar que no tenia legitimitat jurídica. De fet, els secessionistes van provar que el ParlaSul, unió dels parlaments dels tres estats del Sud, convoqués oficialment la consulta però sense èxit. Transformar la majoria a les cambres de cada estat sembla ara l'objectiu dels partidaris de la independència una vegada mostrada una capacitat de convocatòria notable.
