the time has come plantanse, to say calmly and firmly that mankind can not continue to suffer the throes of an endless which has resulted in the serious and multiple current crisis (social, financial, food, environmental, political, democratic, ethical ...).
It is time for citizen action against the "large domain" (economic, energy, military, media) in such a way as to initiate without delay the great transition from an economy of speculation and war (4,000 million dollars day weapons and military expenditures, while I will not tire in insisting on it, starving more than 70,000 people), developing a sustainable global economy, which quickly reduce the huge social inequalities and tear and gradual deterioration (which can reach irreversible limits) of the ecological environment.
The time has come to prevent and punish harassment that the "market" through conspicuous agencies 'rating', exerted on politicians, "rescuers" impoverished to be applied, at the risk of financial collapse, to cut their budgets. Those who advocated "less state and more market", ensuring that autorregularía and to eliminate tax havens should publicly rectify and correct the severe damage caused.
It is time to replace the groups "plutocratic" that began under President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher, who have demonstrated their total ineffectiveness, a strong United Nations and equipped with personal resources, technical and financial resources enabling it to fulfill its high mission (international security, a guarantor of democratic principles, freedom of expression and access to accurate information, coordinated action to reduce the impact of natural disasters or man; of environmental care ; of patterns of social and economic development timely applied) ...
It's time to move to subjects to full citizens, in a participatory silent; of spectators to actors ... now that the chances of non-attendance participation offered by modern communication technologies permit.
The time has come mainly through cyberspace Unnerved to loosen up our bodies, to awaken a new day when the reins of our common destiny and not in the same secular hands.
The academic community, scientific, artistic, intellectual, in short, must lead this process to allow, at least ten years to bring out the "new beginning" that the Earth Charter advocates.
It is time to stand, to rise, as José Ángel Valente asked us in his verse, "to not stop.
The time has come.
