Low participation in Seville

Low participation in Seville

Seville officials show their discontent with the unions with little follow-up strike • The Board of the impact of the unemployment figure at 10% and the trade unions stands at 70%

A punishment to the unions. This could be called the limited follow-up was in Seville officials strike called yesterday by the trade unions against wage cuts planned by the government in this sector. Although unions convenors pinned up the percentage of 70%, the data provided by the Provincial Delegation of the Government of the Board reduced that amount to little more than 10% between officials and labor personnel.

This disparity has been exempt from assessments by the government, although the operation almost 100% of all services in Justice, Education and Public Health noted the failure of the call. Finally imposed general discontent with trade union officials by the attitude shown to the governance since the crisis erupted.

Distrust in the trade unions was reflected in the day of unemployment. A typical day where the only hint of a strike was the demonstration that started at the Puerta de Jerez and toured the Constitution Avenue until you reach the Plaza Nueva. Banners, union flags, whistles and shouting through megaphones. Furthermore, a day like any other.

In the education sector, the strike produced little impact in schools. The templates were almost complete and few teachers supported the strike day. The unions CCOO, UGT and CSIF coded tracking more than 70%, while the ANPE, the union of professionals of education, spoke of a 50% stake in the capital and 60% at provincial level. The Board, in turn, reduces this figure to 12% on teaching staff and 6% in the non-teaching staff. Most schools surveyed by Diario de Sevilla confirmed the low incidence of strikes. In the College Buenavista, San Jerónimo, supported the strike had only a master of the 22 that make up the center's staff, in the Benjumea Burín three teachers went on strike for a total of 17, in the Juan de la Cueva only one of the 27 teachers who work there and at the Institute Becquer, in Triana, all teachers came to class yesterday. Two schools in which the strike was a higher incidence were the Inspector Elena Canel, with 80% follow up, and Lora-Tamayo, 54%. With respect to private educational, whose staff was also summoned to the strike, the only data were provided by UGT and CCOO, they placed the track at 33% and 48% respectively.

In the teachings above the two universities worked yesterday sevillanas half gas. In a day where the only incidents were prominent placement early in the morning a few pins on the main gate of the rectory of the University of Seville and the attempted boycott of classes in law by about 30 students (group that was not called to strike) all colleges opened their doors.

According to sources provided by both union and by the University of Seville, monitoring of the strike reached 60% in administrative and service staff. However, no one dared yesterday to make an assessment on the impact of unemployment on teachers, since many had no classes or simply not reported its position. The strike forced to suspend some tests in centers such as the School of Engineering.

For their part, officials at the University Pablo de Olavide amounted to 45% unemployment monitoring by both the non-teaching staff as the teacher. The day was without incident fully.

In the Administration of Justice, the strike also had little impact on the functioning of the courts, where follow-up was 12% at regional level, according to data provided by the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration of the Board. Only three of the 150 clerks in Seville there supported the strike by civil servants, judicial sources confirmed. A clerk of the capital and two others serving in courts of the province participated in a strike that had a weak monitoring and highlighting the utter normality of the proceedings. The same sources explained that in the three courts in which the secretary has supported the strike was suspended all performances, except those located within the minimum services, as judged on duty.

Among other court officials incidence was also quite low and does not even held a puff that had been called by SPJ-USE in the courts of the Prado de San Sebastian.

The dean of the judges of Seville Spain, Federico Jiménez Ballester, also highlighted the lack of impact of the strike in the courts because, he said, there is no record that it had to suspend a trial. The dean felt that monitoring was less than 5%.

Moreover, health centers and hospitals functioned normally with few absences in the workforce. Two unions involved in the strike, CCOO and CSIF, estimated, however, that 70% of the employees of SAS called in Seville and the province seconded the strike, which represents some 14,000 professionals, a fact radically opposed to offered by the Board amounted to a 2.68% tracking templates, resulting in 318 people. Plants yesterday criticized the minimum services established by the Administration in the Health sector and called them "abusive." In the ER, the minimum service accounts for 100% of the workforce and health centers, 50%. SAS Professionals working in the ER yesterday criticized the failure to exercise the right to strike as they are forced to work and to object if facing a serious disciplinary offense may result in the loss of work.

The Duke Square, the only station in the center 50 feet underground

The Duke Square, the only station in the center 50 feet underground

The Incarnation is ruled by archeology and because it would have to remove the 'mushrooms'

Although its construction date is in the air by the economic crisis and as the lower projected demand for passengers, the subway route from Seville's historic center chosen by the Junta de Andalucia provides a single station in the Plaza del Duque , 50 meters underground, built at the bottom of a pit 32 meters in diameter whose surface will occupy the entire square and is three feet from the facade of the English Court. Six lifts travelers would move into the station, or nine flights of stairs. The equidistance of the Duke with Joseph Laguillo and Plaza de Armas is another compelling argument, along with its profitability in the high demand of passengers.

The entire center section of tunneling arises about 9 meters in diameter Torretriana starts and ends in Santa Justa. Technicians justify such deep-double of the season has Puerta de Jerez, the need to save the rich archaeological remains and prevent damage to historic buildings. Of all the alternative routes included in the drafts that have come two months of public information, the Incarnation is rejected as a Metro stop definitively because there is no room for the pot material for "serious archaeological problems" and because "the project if it does not remove the mushrooms that are being built, in the words of José Luis Nores, managing director of Railways Andaluces. Remove the sun visors seems unlikely, even though you have swallowed the town hall in Seville Spain. It falls, therefore, the preferred option by the City of Seville and will not use the access that was commissioned to build for years on the street image. Ponce de Leon also ruled out by the proximity to the station José Laguillo.

If not successful, the Duke (the Board has since 2002 defending this idea), the second preferred option is to place the station in Plaza Cristo de Burgos.

Of pre-standard three lines, totaling 41.7 kilometers in length, the Board is committed to a path on the surface at least, exactly 21.37% of the total (8.9 km) centered on Avenida de Jerez, the Fremap building to the Hotel Al Andalus. Avenida de la Palmera arises entirely in underground tunnels shallow 15 to 17 meters and above (without tunneling). Surface is also on the end of Avenida Doctor Fedriani to the northern bypass. In Seville East Avenue to Louis Uruñuela Montesierra (urbanization East Gate) and from Polygon The Pine to the intersection with the Technology Park of Alcalá. On the island of La Cartuja, from the Expo station to Avenida José Diaz de la Macarena, crossing the river by a footbridge further allowed the passage of bicycles and pedestrians.

By subway, the Board is committed to the remaining 32,814 meters (78.63% of total) mostly using surface display (in the historic round, The Palm ...) and tunneling in just 6138 meters.

The Board elected the underground Metro cheaper and shallow 2

The Board elected the underground Metro cheaper and shallow

Against the background of economic crisis the country and cuts the Ministry of Public Works and the Junta de Andalucía to be specified, the sensible thing now is to focus on the Metro model proposed by the Board for only 18 km the three lines, with an estimated cost of 1,000 million euros, are time certain for tendering and work: the end of 2011. "No date for competition for non-priority sections, clear yesterday left the Andalusian Railways managing director, José Luis Nores.

The question, for now, is knowing where the Board will draw the 1.000 million needed to build the branches agreed with the city of Sevilla and inaugurated in 2017, the period shuffled technicians. The drafts of the three lines do not pose no funding.

Prado Pino Montano to the priority section of Line 3 and to be built first, most of the route is in tunnels with open ditches with the method of construction of wall-screen, like the one used in Nervión Montequinto and La Plata for line 1. On the surface arises only in the Macarena, since the end of Avenida Doctor Fedriani to North end of the round in Seville Spain.

Yellow Road East Seville at the end of the priority section of line 2, the tunnel surface chosen by the Board runs from just before the East Gate station to station Aeronautics, the end of the quarter. On the surface is raised by Montesierra Avenue from Station Road until after the season Amarilla Luis Uruñuela.

Hospital Virgen Macarena Tamarguillo crossing with (a few meters from the station Primero de Mayo, line 1), the priority sections of the circular line 4, the Board opted for a path entirely underground, with tunnels and shallow cited.

The TBM will be used for what is right. Ferrocarriles Andaluces argued yesterday that the resignation en masse to the TBM (with the tunnel being built so quickly and without surface works) because they will not deep stations, it would have to be built 50 meters underground to reach ground water resistant (marl) , which move away from Metro travelers. The Board also wants to use in shallower waters for problems given in line 1, 25 meters underground, due to the instability and quantity of ground water in Seville.

Railways refuses to renounce the TBM for economic and defends its commitment to screen shallow shafts on the ground that will generate more demand for travel to be near stations do not require the ground to ensure the closeness of buildings and are ideal for areas without archaeological value.

The metropolitan network drafts of the 2, 3 and 4 undergo two months of the general public


The only 18 miles on a date certain, whose work will begin at the end of 2011, will cost 1,000 million and open tunnels without tunneling • Only Macarena Seville East and have drawn on the surface

The Department of Public Works Board has chosen to lines 2, 3 and 4 of the Metro, whose blueprints are from yesterday in public submissions phase, an underground route for the most part (41.7 78.63% of kilometers) shallow tunnels (15 to 17 meters below ground) and with the least economic cost, since the alternatives by the Administration favors that are the cheapest in the plants. Its estimated cost is situated -2.843 million-216 million the most expensive option.

The TBM is reserved only for constructing 6.13 km in Seville Spain (Torretriana to Santa Justa, and Delicias-Juan Pablo II "Celestino Mutis Park across the river) of 41.7 occupied by the three lines at a depth of up to 50 meters. Tunlan The remaining works will all open (wall-building model display) and therefore require further cuts traffic on affected streets and avenues.

The PP asks for two Metro stops from an "underground" in the center

The PP asks for two Metro stops from an "underground" in the center

Juan Ignacio Zoido doubt the period of commencement of work and ensures that the lines should extend ALCOSA, San Jeronimo and Bellavista.

The Popular Party in Seville Spain City Council on Tuesday shelled the arguments to be presented to the drafts of lines 2, 3 and 4 of the metro of Sevilla - available for public consultation from yesterday - which basically include enabling two seasons in the old town, a track entirely underground and coming to the neighborhoods of Bellavista, ALCOSA Park and St. Jerome.

In a press conference, municipal spokesman PP, Juan Ignacio Zoido, stressed the importance of this infrastructure as well as "fundamental" that the entire network is undertaken Metropolitan, a "challenge" that would solve the problem of mobility and public transport and that, in its view, should be required and led by the mayor of the city, something that, say critics, the ruler of Seville has not done.

"I do not understand you have to let it be the Andalusian to decide where to spend, the stops will be a model or surface or underground," lamented Zoido, who undertook to lead the project when it reaches the City Hall to demand "the best model of meter", which would pass through an underground metro, with the number of stops needed to meet the neighbors and "Seville does not discriminate between first and second."

In his view, the current paths of the lines 2, 3 and 4 meters without service would cease to 58,000 residents who live in Bellavista, ALCOSA and Torreblanca. In this sense, the popular city spokesman opted for an extension of Line 3 from Los Bermejales to Bellavista - whose study undertakes the Board - with two seasons in the Hospital and the Royal Valme Antequera sale to service the areas for future expansion in Palmas Altas and the Cortijo de Cuarto.

The same number of stops should be enabled in ALCOSA, with an extension of Line 2 from Torreblanca, while extending the line 3 by introducing its inception in San Jeronimo allow to cover Torneo Parque Empresarial, the back of Pino Montano and the area further expansion in this neighborhood.

On the other hand, criticized the Zoido Metropol Parasol development project has not only resulted in the current situation of slowdown in the initiative, but also fails to retain a subway station here. Also described as "poor" that the alternative design only provides for priority of a station in the center - Plaza del Duque - betting on building another in Plaza Cristo de Burgos, a solution "reasonable" to allow "dynamic" the center.

As for the underground and surface path - the current alternatives provide a meter with nearly 80 percent of its way underground - the popular leader refused to admit a section at ground level in areas such as the Isla de la Cartuja or crossing on SE-30, given the "impact" environmental and aesthetic that it would, after the barriers were removed with the burial of several sections ferrous occasion of Expo 92.

Doubts about the time of commencement of works
Instead, Zoido opted for a total meters underground, predicting that in the future will have to undertake works to bury the section of Line 1 will now surface in the Barrio de la Música and that leads to the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO), since in the former "party" area and the second leaving students relatively far from the university.

After criticizing the intersections referred noting that "it seems that everyone has been doing the project a good definition online without this aspect," adding that "under no circumstances" the cuts announced by the Government must affect a project "priority", and "There are works that can be delayed but not this time it will be an economic engine for the city."

Finally, he expressed doubts about the fact that work can begin in 2011 and stated that the Board lacks "credibility" when transmitting confidence to the private sector for investment.

It has been well thanks to the interpretation that the eyes of one Israeli have been one of the most emblematic places of the city: the Plaza de America, better known as the Seville Square pigeons. Thousands of pigeons and thousands of people make up the history of a place that has hardly changed since 1929.

A Corpus without tents, without military honors and with fright

A Corpus without tents, without military honors and with fright

Firefighters shored up an altar in El Salvador that threatened to fall on the public to the passage of the procession.

"Excellent" Bishop Asenjo yesterday described what has been their first Corpus as titular Archbishop of Seville, and that his inexperience played a trick on him and handed an empty envelope to the six as a reward for their dances before the Blessed Sacrament. You should have seen the face of astonishment of the children when they opened the envelope and found the generosity of the gift of Bishops. Solved the mess, the prelate said at the end of the procession he was "very impressed" by the aesthetic beauty of the procession, the "respect" with which the public received the Custody in the streets and the "mercy" with which many people prayed, kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament. "Outstanding, to the height, of course, the Corpus of Cordoba and Toledo, but the sheets are missing here," summed up the archbishop in a hasty assessment of the celebration.



Yesterday was a Corpus without national anthem, the honors or the Blessed Sacrament, following the entry into force of the Military Honors regulation adopted by the Government on 20 May. At the exit of the Custody of Arfe by the Puerta de San Miguel de la Catedral, the only bars of the anthem that sounded-and even three times, came from the cathedral organ, not the Music Unit of the Sub-inspection General Army South (former Soria 9) that brought up the rear. "The thing is that we had been warned and we would have another band," he complained at the end of the procession the canon Luis Rueda, master of ceremonies at the Cathedral. Together with the Archbishop of Seville, also participated in the procession, the bishop of Bucharest, Ioan Robu, displaced land of Seville Spain to greet the bishop of Seville and see how it develops the procession of Corpus Christi in other countries.

In a celebration, the Feast of Corpus, subject to swings in public, but thankfully alive and rooted, thousands of Seville a year paid homage to the Blessed participating in the procession, or going to watch from the sidewalks, in a morning heat bearable thanks to the gusts of wind that soothed the excesses of the thermometer. It was just the wind to blame for the most striking event of the day because, as a result of a gust of air, the altar erected by the Brotherhood of the Seven Words on the Plaza del Salvador was about to rush the watching public in The procession then sitting in their seats. The area, near the residence of San Juan de Dios, was acordanada immediately and underpinned the altar with steps, keeping a dangerous unstable equilibrium. The incident led to the action of the firemen that while the procession ran across the plaza del Salvador, sought to reassure the structure with ropes. With the face of great disgust, the older brother of the Seven Words, Antonio Sanchez Padilla, on site explained that the weight of the two sides bands that supported the huge canopy, together with a gust of wind caused the mishap that caused a logical movement in the Plaza del Salvador. Fortunately there was only a scare.

Joining the procession of the new stature of St. Angela made by the sculptor José Antonio Navarro Arteaga for the Cathedral of Seville was one of the main novelties of the procession, which started out at 8.30 am by the Puerta de San Miguel, the pair at the altar of the Jubilee was beginning the pontifical mass. Jaime, the boy who opened the procession, sounding the bell that hung around his neck, he lived his last as carráncano Corpus. "I meet next month and 15 years."

Although there are guilds that take their deputies to order section representation, this year have not been as massive as in other editions, highlighting the most numerous of the Macarena, the Gran Poder, La Estrella, San Benito, and the Gypsies Museum. In general, the attire of the participants is in keeping with the solemnity of the celebration, but still continue to appreciate the absence of ties and beige suits, both of them as they (being told otherwise, the council Teresa socialist Florido, who wore a striking tone model oil).

Mayor Alfredo Sanchez Monteseirín, lived his last as the first mayor Corpus facing the protest carried out by the local police during the parade that led to the Municipal Corporation from the Consistory of the Cathedral. The passage of the Custody of Arfe spent just under an hour and a half to complete the course. At 12.13 pm, after the parade of the Company of the Army, the Custody of the Blessed Sacrament was engulfed by the dark cathedral.

The Andalusian coast conquest 79 blue flags

The Andalusian coast conquest 79 blue flags (66 beaches and 13 ports) for the care of its water and sand, only four fewer than last year despite the damage caused by winter rains.
Andalusia this year 112.2 kilometers of beaches with blue flags, the world's highest award to a shoreline with good water quality, sand and services, awarded by the Association of Environmental and Consumer Education (ADEAC). In this way, the community becomes the largest expanse of beaches that have won awards, with 34.18% of the national total. The figure is similar to previous years but that, in this 2010 edition, is an achievement, since the damage caused by the storm on the Andalusian coast, only the state has had to invest 80 million euros in repair- jeopardized their status before the summer.



The Andalusia has been awarded this year with four blue flags less than in 2009, until the 79 -66 of beaches and ports-13, representing 13.7% of the total award granted in Spain this year. Of the 36 municipalities Andalusian presented its candidacy to obtain the certificate of quality of its beaches and ports, were eventually the winners by 29 ADEAC.

Furthermore, although the beaches have been 66 who have received this distinction, those were 115 submitted their applications (14 more than last year). Andalusia is also the region with more miles per beach on average, up to 1.7, well above the national average, which stands at 0.63 miles.

According to reports provided by the association, in the list enter nine beaches that did not appear last year: Downloader (Mojácar) and Playazo Maro (Nerja), Carvajal (Benalmádena), Zahara de los Atunes (Barbate), El Palmar (Vejer ), and The Whale-Chorrillo Rompido and Punta Candor (Rota). In contrast, this distinction lost Top 13: San José and Agua Amarga (Níjar), La Bajadilla (Roquetas), Balerma (El Ejido), Algarrobo Costa (Algarrobo), Ferrara (Torrox), Misericordia (Malaga), and Arroyo Malapesquera la Miel (Benalmádena), El Padrón (Estepona), South-Girl Los Lances (Tarifa), Camaron-La Laguna (Chipiona) and La Antilla (Lepe).
cadiz, in the lead. Cadiz province of Andalusia has been awarded more Blue Flag beaches (24), followed by Málaga (21), Almeria (12), Huelva (8) and Granada (1). The province of Huelva has concentrated five of the 13 marinas that have received this certification this year, while four have been awarded Malaga, Cadiz and Granada three one.

In the whole of Spain a total of 521 beaches and 84 marinas have achieved this year the blue flag, one of every six-Spanish beaches, among which are those of Galicia (132), Catalonia (104) and the Community Valencia (108). Overall, the International Blue Flag Jury awarded flags 3511 to 33 countries in Europe, Canada and Morocco, with Spain leading the ranking.
But all the praise to the Andalusian coast, because just yesterday, coinciding with the publication of this classification, Ecologists in Action unveiled its list of hot spots in the province of Cádiz, with 16 beaches where pollution, oil spills, water stool, no debugging-the lack of sand, little protectionist management plans prevent a bath worthy.
A total of 521 beaches and 84 marinas have obtained the Blue Flag this year, one in six-Spanish beaches, among which are those of Galicia (132), Catalonia (104) and the Comunidad Valenciana (108).

In a press conference, the Association of Environmental and Consumer Education (ADEAC) organization in the initiative, has released the list of blue flags, a quality certification ", which is an increase of 34 for 2009 (28 of beaches and six ports).

For the first time, this distinction has obtained an internal beach, that of Costa Dulce de Orellana la Vieja (Badajoz), has highlighted the association's president, José Sánchez Moro.

Overall, the International Blue Flag Jury awarded this year 3511 flags to 33 countries in Europe, Canada and Morocco, of which 605 belong to Spain, which places it in the first place ranking.

Although 2010 has increased the number of flags waving in Spanish territory, this improvement is not distributed evenly, since mostly due to the increase recorded in the Balearic Islands, with nine more than in 2009, has qualified President ADEAC.

During the summer of 2010, he added, one in six Spanish beaches wear this seal of approval, certifying adequate sanitation, health, safety, accessibility, information, rescue and first aid or assistance to persons with disabilities.

However, this does not mean a positive diagnosis of the entire Spanish coast, "of which only 16 percent of its Blue Flag beaches are under."

Regarding the award-winning beaches and marinas in absolute terms include the community of Galicia, with 122 beaches and ten ports, Cataluña (85 +19), Comunidad Valenciana (96 +12), Baleares (72 +22), Andalusia (66 + 13), Canary (34 +3) and Murcia (15 +2).

If you are counted only the approximate miles of blue flag beach, the classification is slightly different: Andalucia (119 km) Valencia (91.6), Catalonia (84.3), Galicia (35.7), Baleares (22, 7), Canarias (10.8) and Murcia (7.9).

On the other hand, the thematic distinctions have fallen on grants ADEAC Cangas (Pontevedra), Cartagena (Murcia) and Sagunto (Valencia), in the category of lifeguard, in Arona (Tenerife), Palma de Mallorca and Cala Bona (Mallorca), in the form of environmental education and information, and in Ferreries (Menorca) and Gandía (Valencia), removal of architectural barriers for disabled people.

In this issue we have submitted 800 applications, of which 250 were rejected for various reasons.

The Blue Flag jury is composed of representatives of the United Nations Programme on Environment, the World Tourism Organization and organizations dedicated to nature conservation.

In the press conference, Margarita Miguel Palau, the Directorate General of Foreign Health Environmental Health, explained that in 1643 Spain beaches have been recorded in 2010, where he conducted more than 40,000 samples to detect possible water pollution.

This year, the sampling points will be located in 393 municipalities of twelve regions.

According to Miguel Palau, sea water quality in the country is "very good", as evidenced by nearly 90 percent of the analysis.

87 percent of the beaches has a sampling point and the largest number concentrated in Galicia (with a 24 per cent of the total), followed by Valencia (18 percent).
