Las absurdas políticas del gobierno

Este año 2008 se ha caracterizado por presentar una situación global difícil para todo el mundo. Vimos el encrudecimiento de una crisis financiera global, y la desaceleración económica que mantiene aun el debate de si habrá una recesión global o no. El precio del petróleo se ha duplicado en lo que va de este año, y nuestro gobierno ha adoptado quizás la mas absurda medida concebible para reducir el consumo de petróleo en el país: la prohibición de circular por todo el casco y la periferia metropolitana. Si Alan Greenspan supiera lo que ha hecho el gobierno, de seguro se reiría a carcajadas.


Petróleo, una razón económica. Según estudios, los países en desarrollo gastan más dinero en petróleo por cada dólar de su Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) que los países desarrollados. Esto se debe a varias razones, las más importantes de ellas, el crecimiento demográfico y la rápida expansión económica. El gobierno no ha entendido que la gente no se desplaza por San José por el placer de conducir a través de la ciudad. La gente tiene que ir a sus trabajos, los vendedores tienen que ir a visitar clientes, las empresas tienen que ir a entregar sus productos y servicios. La política de gobierno en cuestión es un lastre al flujo de productos y servicios, lo cual tendrá como consecuencia que las empresas produzcan menos. Por este descenso en la productividad, contratarán menos personas y pagarán menos impuestos pues sus utilidades serán menores. La factura petrolera se podrá reducir, pero la recaudación fiscal también. En un plano macroeconómico, todos estos factores hacen que el país, en general, se vuelva menos productivo, menos atractivo y en resumen, menos competitivo.

Primera contradicción: generación eléctrica. Mientras el gobiernos nos prohíbe circular por la ciudad con la excusa de ahorrar combustible, el ICE sí se da el lujo de operar numerosos generadores eléctricos a base del combustible, produciendo la energía más costosa y mas sucia posible después de la quema de carbón. Pero no es el ICE el que debe de dejar de quemar combustibles, somos nosotros, los conductores, quienes debemos guardar nuestros autos.

Segunda contradicción: RECOPE. RECOPE, el monopolio del estado, es un nido de ineficiencia operativa y administrativa. Un monopolio acaba con el concepto de Joseph Schumpeter „creación destructiva“, en donde competidores emprendedores con un mejor sistema de organizar recursos y capital de trabajo, o con mejor tecnología, destronan a aquellas organizaciones que operan de forma ineficiente. Las ineficiencias con que funciona RECOPE nos obligan a todos a pagar un premium por la gasolina, premium que se hace necesario para sufragar la ineficiente operación de RECOPE. Otras empresas podrían producir lo que hoy importa RECOPE, a un precio mucho menor del actual. El mercado del combustible sigue siendo un monopolio estatal controlado por un dinosaurio viejo e inefectivo, pero somos nosotros los conductores los que debemos hacer frente al ahorro en el consumo de combustible.

Legalidad. Que de por sí la prohibición de circular tiene un tono de inconstitucionalidad, pues está en clara contradicción con el art. 22 de la Constitución Política de Costa Rica, el cual estipula el derecho de todos a desplazarnos por el territorio nacional sin restricciones.

Soluciones. A corto plazo, no hay una forma de reducir el consumo petrolero sin impactar negativamente los diversos indicadores económicos del país. Lo que el gobierno puede hacer es tomar una responsabilidad más seria, y a) diseñar una política energética holística que fije un norte claro con objetivos medibles. El gobierno puede, mediante política fiscal, b) incentivar la compra de vehículos de alta eficiencia, y castigar severamente mediante impuestos a los vehículos altamente ineficientes, algo similar a lo que hacen los europeos con los vehículos y sus emisiones de carbono. Las leyes infranqueables de un mercado libre mostrarán, que si el gobierno reduce en un 50% el impuesto al ruedo y elimina del todo el impuesto de ventas de los vehículos híbridos, los consumidores los empezarán a comprar por una simple cuestión de atractivo pecuniario. El gobierno puede c) fijar un plan, con sus respectivas fuentes de financiación, para producir en el mediano-largo plazo energía limpia que no dependa de la quema de combustibles fósiles. Pueden también d) abrir el mercado del combustible, para que los precios los fije la oferta y demanda, y no un ente regulador que siempre sufrirá las influencias de la miopía política. Pero fundamentalmente, e) debe abrir el mercado de los combustibles a la libre competencia, para que se dé la “creación destructiva” de Schumpeter, y dejemos todos de pagar ese premium a la ineficiencia. No hace falta privatizar RECOPE: la misma creación destructiva se encargará de obligarla a hacerse eficiente o simplemente desaparecerá y será sustituida por organizaciones más eficientes.

Submarining under the Caribbean Sea

For my third day in the Dominican Republic, I decided to take another tour, but this time, a maritime one. Perhaps the greatest assets of the Caribbean countries are their beaches. Hence, there are numerous tours one can take to get to know better this marine paradise...

Gentlemen... start your engines!

Today was the day to tour outside the hotel and get to know the region a little better. But first of all, let me tell you a little bit about where we were.
Punta Cana is located in the easternmost region of the Dominican Republic, a peninsula of about 1.100 acres. It is located in the province of Altagracia and has about 100.000 habitants. We were staying at the Barceló Bávaro Caribe Beach hotel, which, as the name suggests, is actually located near the town of Bávaro. The region is well developed for tourism, and there are lots of hotels and beach resorts of well-know brands as the Barceló, Sol Meliá and others...

Graduation Time

Some time ago I expressed to you my satisfaction that I had approved all the required tests to graduate from Law School. Today, the graduation ceremony took place.

Though I had no high expectations for this event, but a formality that had to be fulfilled, it turned out to be a very satisfying and enjoyable morning. Lots of people from different careers were graduating, and it was good to see some people who took courses with me, but then separated, and were finally there graduating as I was.

The event made me think about people's own desires and aspirations, and reminded me that everyone has dreams and goals to achieve. This morning was a great event for everyone of us, our relatives and our families, since a goal, a big-league goal, had been achieved. Now, the future of our careers and life lays in our hands. Which one of us will continue studying and excel? Why ones are overperformers, which ones will just "play along", and which ones will fall in the mediocrity trap of underperformance? We are fortunate to have the answer to those questions in our hands.

Related to this recognition that I have achieved, I have a lot of people to thank. My first gratitude goes to my family, and specially my mother. Even though one's achievements become a reality because of one's own efforts and sacrifice, there is always people out there encouraging, giving support, and pushing you to expand the limits you thought were your last boundaries.

I must also express my gratitude to Federico Malavassi. You see, Federico is a huge personality. A very respected politician, he has occupied the seat as congressman, and he can be remembered by his strong and fierce political stands. On the academic arena, he is a marvelous teacher, more than a teacher, a mentor. He is one of the most literate people I have ever met, and along with him I have learned a ton of invaluable wisdom. Along my entire studies he was my tutor and mentor, and this victory would have probably not been possible without his help and support.

So, I am now officially a Law School graduate with a Bachellor's Cum Laude Probatus ("with honors", in latin) degree. But there is more to come, actually, much more. You'll find out soon, but in the meantime, you can enjoy the graduation pictures here:

The unforgettable experience of sailing the jungle

Tortuguero National Park, located in the caribbean coast of Costa Rica, is one of the best parks to visit. This is confirmed by the fact that it is the third most visited park in the country, even though you can only get there by plane or boat.

We made our reservations at a place called Turtle Beach Lodge (http://turtlebeachlodge.com/). Most of the hotels located in Tortuguero offer full packages, so you don’t have to worry about anything during your stay. In this case, the package included 5 days/4 nights, transportation from San José to Caño Blanco (breakfast along the way), fast-boat transport from Caño Blanco to the hotel, all meals, free coffee and cookies whenever you wanted, 4 tours, and transportation back to San José (with lunch included)...

First trip: Manuel Antonio

Having Susanne around here in Costa Rica is always a great joy for myself and my whole family. And of course, one cannot miss the opportunity and do some traveling across the land.

Costa Rica is a fairly small country, only 51.100km2, but there are lots and lots of wonderful sites to check out and see.

This time, we decided to go to Manuel Antonio...

PAC y su fraude legislativo

Hoy quiero hacer mención sobre la situación política de Costa Rica con respecto a la aprobación de la agenda del Tratado de Libre Comercio con los Estados Unidos.

Es despreciable la posición del Partido Acción Ciudadana (PAC) de utilizar técnicas deplorables para trabar la gestión de los proyectos de ley que darán implementación al tratado. El PAC se ha inmiscuido en una actitud que es anti-constitucional y un claro irrespeto a la voluntad del pueblo costarricense que ya se pronunció a favor del tratado.

Bajo la teoría moderna del estado, la soberanía de la nación descansa en los ciudadanos, y estos, por razones de escala poblacional, la han depositado en sus representantes, que vienen a ser ustedes, los diputados de la asamblea legislativa. Así lo indican claramente los artículos 2, 3 y 4 de nuestra Constitución Política. Esto quiere decir que ustedes no son más que intermediarios, portadores del sentir del pueblo que los ha elegido y toda desviación de esa visión es traición a ese pueblo, como claramente lo expone el texto constitucional. Este principio tiene además otra consecuencia: cuando el pueblo ejerce directamente su soberanía, ustedes los diputados han sido suplantados por el pueblo, y no les queda espacio para ejercer su voluntad personal, sino que deben someterse indiscutiblemente a la decisión de la nación. Por este argumento sólo es que su posición ante el tratado es una burla directa al marco constitucional del país y por ende, un irrespeto a la soberanía absoluta del pueblo.

Es importante recordarle al PAC que la cantidad de diputados que tiene en la asamblea legislativa es consecuencia de la gran cantidad de votos que obtuvo su candidato presidencial Ottón Solís, pero no porque el pueblo lo apreciara como potencial presidente. La mayoría de los votos que obtuvo Solís fueron de ciudadanos que protestaron por la manipulación que hizo Oscar Arias de la Sala Constitucional y que le permitió ser candidato. Esto significa que políticamente, el PAC es un partido débil, pues el apoyo a sus personeros y su ideología es mucho menor de lo que imaginan.

Pero fuera de los argumentos jurídicos con que fácilmente se demuestra la falsedad en el actuar del PAC, hablemos por un momento de un tema caliente en Latinoamérica. La posición del PAC es consecuencia de la actitud soberbia y ebria en ego de su líder Ottón Solís, quien derrotado en el referéndum, no acepta que el pueblo considera que se ha equivocado. Por esto, se ha enfrascado en una discusión político-ideológica. La verdad es que el partido no piensa en el crecimiento económico del país, sino en defender sus ideales perdedores. El tratado es una pieza clave de inserción de la ínfima economía costarricense en un mundo que, nos guste o no, ya está globalizado. Y mientras perdemos tiempo, países como la China comunista, Irlanda y Polonia, entre otros, ya han logrado índices de crecimiento económico y reducción de la pobreza admirables. Desde su apertura económica, China ha sacado a 250 millones de personas de la pobreza. Irlanda, en 12 años, ha pasado de ser uno de los países más pobres de Europa, a tener un PIB por cápita de 32mil dólares (2.66 veces el de Costa Rica). Polonia, hasta hace poco un pobre país del ex-bloque soviético, aumentó la inversión extranjera en un 100% entre finales de los 90 y el 2004 y el fenómeno de crecimiento económico no es ajeno a los demás países de Europa del Este.

¿Por qué? La respuesta es sencilla. Mientras nuestros países se hunden en un círculo de pobreza, desempleo y delincuencia, estos otros países han tomado a la globalización con los brazos abiertos, haciéndolos cada vez más Investor Friendly, incorporándose a mercados multinacionales (como China en Asia y los países de Europa del Este con la Unión Europea, o México con el NAFTA). Porque no importa cuál es la ideología gobernante (el comunismo en China o el recién estrenado capitalismo en el Este de Europa), lo importante es una visión generalizada de hacer a los países cada vez más competitivos para atraer inversión extranjera.

Al Sr. Solís y sus sirvientes, un mensaje claro: en lugar de irrespetar al pueblo costarricense, de alejarnos cada vez más de la inserción en la economía mundial, y de enfrascarse en un debate ideológico-populista inútil, dediquen el tiempo a pensar en cómo hacer de este país un músculo de competitividad y eficiencia, que atraiga a los inversionistas extranjeros, y que nos ayude a progresar en un contexto mundial que se torna cada vez más competitivo y exigente.

Germany bullies Liechtenstein

Recent European news headlines had a very shocking topic: supposedly, thousands of German citizens are being investigated by federal authorities for a tax evasion scandal that could amount into the hundreds of millions of euros. Apparently, these people had fortunes invested into financial institutions of the Principality of Liechtenstein.

But what is more troubling is Germany’s position towards the Principality. Traditionally, Liechtenstein has been a European tax haven with a strict bank secrecy code. Germany is now accusing Liechtenstein of actively encouraging tax evasion for European citizens, and threatens the tiny country with sanctions and isolation.

Prince Alois of Liechtenstein has stepped up, protecting his country, businesses and customers, accusing Germany of a persecution and publicly denouncing Germany’s stance over the issue.

Now, let’s talk a little bit about this topic. Even though Germany is presenting itself as a deeply wound victim, the matter of fact is that it is known that the German government obtained the information causing the scandal by questionable means. The Financial Times reported on Wednesday that the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), a German spy agency, obtained the information by buying it from an ex-employee of LGT Treuhand AG, one of Liechtenstein’s financial institutions. If this were true, it would mean that the Germans obtained this information not only illegally, but also violated Liechtenstein’s jurisdiction and sovereignty by conducting secret-investigative operations into a foreign country. Furthermore, under modern legal doctrine, the way this evidence was obtained is not legal, thus causing its immediate invalidity under the principles of fairness, justice and equal opportunities of legal defense.

But even more troubling is Germany’s current position against Liechtenstein. Called already a battle between David and Goliath, Germany is bullying the tiny principality, taking advantage of its size and influence in the European Union, to manipulate Liechtenstein into changing its jurisdictional framework and the core principles of its financial center. That, under any circumstance, has a name: it is called “abuse of power”. The current aggressive stance of Germany against the principality reminds me of Condolezza Rice and the USA’s frequent policy of international confrontation, lately used against North Korea, Iran and others that simply do not abide to American tastes.

It is truly a deception to see the German government engage into such practices of foreign policy. The Germans must understand and respect that every country has its law system that must be respected, such as they want their own to be. The road to resolve this conflict does not reside on bullying Liechtenstein: it is not the principality’s fault that German citizens want to evade taxes. Instead of falsely accusing and threatening foreign countries, it is the cause of the issue that the German government should really be examining and resolving.

Super Bowl 2008 - Favorite Ad

This sunday was Super Bowl XLII, and as usual, I didn't miss it. Today I want to share with you the ad that I liked the most.

You all should know that the Super Bowl is famous for the game but also for the high quality and creativity of the TV ads that are presented during the game. Sure, advertisers that pay $3 million for 30 seconds of TV space definitively want to present a super ad that will make the greatest impact, therefore, we find them to be perhaps the best ads of the whole year.

So here it is, my personal big winner:

CIA used waterboarding

During the last days several news pieces have appeared confirming that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) tortured several prisoners with a method called waterboarding. According to CIA director Michael Hayden, three terrorism suspects were tortured using this technique.

Even though acts of terrorism are despicable by nature, and individuals engaged into terrorist activities are a threat to the stability of our societies, that does not mean that the civilized world should move back and engage into activities that are today widely condemned and considered barbaric.

Throughout the western world torture is considered a crime. It is not a figure with exceptions, but rather a generally condemned and punished act.

But now that the world's most powerful country has admitted torturing terrorism suspects, will the figure of torture continue to be prohibited, or will it be now generally allowed for certain special cases? Let us remember that several important political figures of western civilization have faced judiciary processes related to torture: Augusto Pinochet faced detention in London and permanent legal persecution until his death; Alberto Fujimori is now facing several charges that are, in one way or another, related to questionable ways of handling political opponents, and lots of people of old dictatorial regimes in Brazil and Argentina have gone to or are currently in jail for the same reason.

Mr. Hayden tried to reduce the importance of the incident by acknowledging that the waterboarding technique was used on only three suspects. Does this mean that torturing few people is acceptable, and only wide-spread torturers are to be legally prosecuted? I don't think so. Analogically, we all know that both murderers and genocides are processed for killing, with the latter generally receiving heavier sentences than the former, but in the end, both are incarcerated for the crime of assassination. Period. Both are criminals. Period.

The United States of America should not allow their image to be stained under the national security threat excuse. It is true that after September 11th, 2001 attacks, the topic of security is top priority for the USA and many other countries, but for that very same reason is it important to act impeccably and honorably, demonstrating the world that progress and our way of life can be defended without having to resort to acts and techniques that make us resemble a little bit to the enemy we want to avoid and extinguish. Torturing suspects is something I expect to hear someday from the security forces of forgotten African regimes or dictatorships, not from the United States of America.

Adee!

One of the worst and inevitable characteristics of traveling is that the end is always sad. I have never met someone that said "I am so happy that my vacations ended!"

But vacations must end, and today it is my turn to say goodbye...

Switzerland's prettiest barroque city

Solothurn advertises itself as the prettiest barroque city from Switzerland. Well, I'm not an expert on barroque cities to judge that, but Solothurn managed to call my attention.

The history of Solothurn dates back to the year 14 - 37 AD, with the foundation of the celtic Salodurum, around the time when Tiberius was the emperor of the Roman Empire. That means that across almost 1000 years, what today is Solothurn is heavily influenced with the architecture of several epoques, something that is quite unique for such a small place. And the fact that this place has managed to survive almost 1.000 years is simply fantastic!...

Buongiorno Lugano!

Going to Lugano from Zurich means crossing the country from north to south. Even though the journey takes almost 3 hours to complete, and that it costs CHF 118, I wanted to see and meet the Italian part of Switzerland. I also was a little bit intrigued: was the Italian Switzerland just as the Italy I knew? Just because they speak the same language doesn’t mean they are equal, but they must share some of the culture, shouldn’t they?...

The endless Lucerne

For those staying in Zurich and having one day to spare, the visit to Lucerne is mandatory.

The trip from Zürich Hauptbahnhof (main train station) to Luzern takes around 50 minutes with an InterRegio train from the SBB. The train tickets price is around CHF 46, not expensive for a Swiss train...

Tour around Zürich

I am a true believer that city tours by bus are one of the best ways available to get to know a city, at least the most important landmarks. So, as always, I took a city tour from "Best of Switzerland".

Now, in a wonderful display of my endless intelligence, I forgot to take my digital camera with me. Therefore, I had to take the pictures with my cellphone. Please, pardon the bad quality of the images...


One of the company's offers (http://www.bestofswitzerlandtours.ch/) is an extended, 4-hour tour through Zürich and its surroundings. At first, the bus drove near the main train station towards Wollishofen, where it stopped so that we could observe Lake Zürich (Zürchersee). Here, people can sail their boats on the lake and even swim and take the sun along its shore (that is, in summer, of course).

Afterwards, the tour circled around Zürich's highlands to the north, where one can see beautiful (and very expensive) houses. Also, we drove in front of the FIFA's new headquarter building. As you may know, FIFA's main offices have been in Zürich for quite several years now.

Coming back down to Zürich, we stopped at Fraumünster church. This church is right in front of another very important landmark of Zürich, the Großmünster church. The church of Fraumünster was founded in the year 853, and is widely known for its windows, done by Marc Chagall, which display stories from both the Old and New testament in marvelously elaborated glass.
Großmünster church:







Fraumünster church:















Next, the tour took us to the airtram on Adlis. There, we climbed to a mountain where one could see most of the valley where Zürich resides. Though not the best spot to see a panoramic view of Zürich (that will come later...), the view is still precious and worth the effort to get there.

Views of the valley:








To end the tour, we crossed Lake Zürich via the Meilen ferry. The ferry takes about 8 minutes to cross the lake from one side to the other. Here, the views of the city are also impressive.










As for the tour, well, I'll highly recommend it to everybody traveling to Zürich. It costs CHF 45 (about $43), but you get good value for your money.Bye,Luis.

Bye bye beloved friends

So, it finally happened:

After nearly 4 years of uninterrupted service, my Rudy Project sunglasses died today while skiing.

For those of you who know me, you'll know how important these sunglasses have been. They have accompanied and protected my eyes while doing everything: skiing, rodeln, jogging, rappeling, shooting, rescues, etc.

Along the way, they have done much more than protect my eyes from the sun, but they have also been struck with shrapnel while shooting, with dust and rocks while rappeling, splashed with blood, oil and other substances while working at the Red Cross, and so much more. These fellows have withstood much more, I am sure, than what they were actually designed to resist.

I will always remember them for their almost perfect and loyal service, and if you wish to buy the BEST protective sunglasses on Earth, be sure to buy the Rudy Project Ketyum. They are expensive, but worth every single cent.

Here you'll see the last picture of them:

Mission Accomplished

Hi Friends:

With great pleasure and satisfaction I can tell you that I approved my last test to finally become a lawyer. My eternal gratitude to those that gave me their best wishes before the test.

The exam was actually NOT what I expected. I was presented in front of 6 experienced lawyers, one of them a man with more than 25 years of being a judge. But the questions were more like conversation-styled, with the purpose, I think, of trying to make the student feel comfortable and not intimidated.

After 30 minutes of this interview-like test, they told me it was enough, and gave me a grade of 90! 

Now comes graduation, though when I do not know yet.

See ya,
Luis.

Graduate test topics

Today I received the topics that I must present at my test. Let me explain to you how the test is going to go:

The test, an oral exam, lasts 1 hour. The student is presented in front of a jury, composed normally of 3 to 5 members. During the first 15 minutes, the student must present the first topic assigned. During the next 15 minutes, the student must present the second topic. And the remaining 30 minutes are dedicated to what I call "Fire at Will": the jury will ask whatever they want, about whatever they want.

Well, today, 4 days before test, they gave us candidates the topics to present. Mine are the following:

Topic I
Equity and private property
Luckily for me, I got his topic, not only one that I enjoy a lot, but one that I dominate confidently.

Topic II
The concept of family at its historical evolution
Honestly, I do not enjoy Family Law. But luckily, I got a very simple topic. Here, I have to talk about the concept of family from a legal perspective, as well as how the family and its law have evolved across time.

The test begins on Wednesday, 5th December.
Wish me luck :-)

Regards,
Luis.

Blog topic changes

Hello friends:

Since I belong no longer to COMSER, it is natural to change this blog to something else. Therefore, I've decided to make this blog my personal blog, not just of topics related to my work on the Red Cross.

However, for those of you interested on the Red Cross, this blog's archive will still maintain those posts that I've made.

I hope you will enjoy this new blog, and please, feel free to leave comments whenever you like!

Regards,
Luis.
