since the Prestige sank. destroying the coast and economic life of Galicia. in the time since, there have been no political resignations, no dimisals. 70,000 tonnes of fuel sank. one fifth is still to leave the wreck. Fuel combined with marine material which once lived which once formed part of a blanced ecosytem has now been cleaned from the beaches of Portugal, northern Spain from Galicia to the Basque country and western France. We will wait for five more years before this oil stops hitting the beaches. We will wait till the next disaster before they call for new regualtion and enforce it. talk about this. |

Jump To Comment: 1the post MayDay European Union shall embrace in one sloppy big hug, those countries where some of the most excellent activists of our "movement" grew up.
It is sadly true that many of those countries and former states did not boast an exemplary record in enviromental affairs.
It is also sadly true that because the priority was their lack of an exemplary record in human, civil, urban and other rights, that we really didn't learn that much about them.
It is sadly true that we learnt (mostly) nothing about them.
It is most certainly sadly true
that ecological disasters occur regularly.
so...
talk about this, talk about Exxon Valdez, talk about the Erika, talk about every one.
talk about "prestige".
