Villages, school transport, and claims the absurd bureaucracy

Picture: Becerril neighbors claim a school bus. Ayto
Becerril del Carpio (Palencia)
Imagine for a moment that you live in a small town of Mountain-I know that many will not cost you too much. Over the years, have suffered a continuous and unstoppable drip of young migrants to the head of district, to the capital or elsewhere in search of an opportunity. Yes, the land is no longer profitable. "Europe taught us to live on subsidies, without worrying about looking for alternatives. So that future distant and uncertain, and this black and confusing.

There is growing old in the village and more houses closed, in the absence of tenants, little by little, they're threatening to ruin ... The low population ended, long ago, with the priest, a doctor and teacher, if it ever came to be in town. Then it was the postman, who saw limited their visits and deliveries and a little later, the garbage collection service, which no longer happens every day, but two or three times a week ...

A day, the sun rises, a ray of light sneaks through the clouds ... someone has finally decided to rent a house, new families arrive, or perhaps are simply young people who left and are now returning, tired of chasing impossible. Children return to run around the streets, their laughter is heard again and hope is reborn with them ....

But bureaucracy reappears on the scene. Children grow in the absence of school in the village have to move to another place to study. Obviously, parents who always want the best for their children, prefer to go to school closer and that the changes made are minimal. So, ask the Provincial Directorate of Education to facilitate their transport ... and, oh! surprise, not just in transportation.

This, more or less, especially The last part is what has happened to the residents of Becerril del Carpio, a small village of Alar del Rey, also close Aguilar de Campo (Palencia). Why does not ease the provincial transportation to Aguilar, where they want their children learning in primary, secondary and high schools? Simply because they belong to the City Council, the Alar, wants the children to study Primary there secondary Pisuerga Herrera Aguilar de Campo High School ....

Not totally and absolutely absurd?? Should not these cases priority interest in the child's education and their comfort? It appears, according to what have newspapers ( Palentino Journal, Norte de Castilla ) and complaints of the neighborhood of Becerril del Carpio, that reason and understanding, in this case were completely cloudy ...

Hopefully someone understand, sooner or later, it is fair to meet the demands of parents, no trace why bureaucratic boundaries between peoples of less than 1000 inhabitants, which is already difficult enough "rural life" and the status of "eternal new residents." To paraphrase a popular television program, "the just nonsense."

The consumer society and the visual gag

writer and philosopher Santiago Alba offered in a TV interview ATTAC an anthropological view on how it works and what a consumer society and its consequences in relation to the capitalist system. It explains also what is the visual gag and dangers, and offers his views on possible alternatives to capitalism. Finally, give us your views on how they operate in today's media and how imagination is being hijacked by the great "fantasy" of the system as may be large multinationals and markets.
