Spain in the World June 15th 2013 Edition

This week almost everything is about football. And I have said almost because one of the biggest tennis players won the last week his 8th Roland Garros in Paris.
A Spanish doing history, Rafael Nadal after moths out of the games for a knee injury he is back. "If you believe you cannot improve yourself, that means you know nothing about life" he said about himself.

With the confederations cup and the best teams from each continent on it, maybe is the first time all the countries take serious this competition. Spain will try to do their best as everyone is speculating with their game and possibilities for the next world championship. After beating Ireland in an easy game for the Spaniards now it comes the big competition.
Also related with football this week Lionel Messi. One of the best football players "dodging taxes in Spain is easier than dodging defenders" The Guardian says. In a case that most of people say it will finish with a tax return and a fine, it remembers us Spaniards the lack of JUSTICE in Spain.
Scandals as CAJAS, bribes, misappropriations,
embezzlement of funds finish without any punishment to guilty.

This week my question is, is it the same Capitalism and Imperialism? Do not miss the video of Learn Liberty.

Spain is still trying to forget its own history, and maybe what is worst, it is trying to delete the history. While other countries are proud or not about their own history and they have museums to their own disasters or "shames". Forget history is forget who we are and why we are here, forget history means to forget why Spanish is after Mandarin the most important mother-tongue in the world, is forget why we lost that empire, which are our roots, why do we finished fighting in civil wars in the last 200 years because it was not only one. The Guardian talks about this.

Unemployment rate goes down but they are only temporary works the New York Times says.

Is this the end of the recession or still we have to wait?

This week the Economist shows on of the keys in Spanish Economy for the rest of the century. Its more powerful weapon (asset) is too the  most dangerous. The Spanish language is at the same time virtuous and vice. "Spanish has more native speakers than any language other than Mandarin" highlights.
In the beginning of the "good times" many Spanish speakers arrived in the peninsula looking for a job. Now, that there is not more job, they are leaving looking for a better opportunity elsewhere.
But still the Spanish is one of the most important tool for our future and we have to take care of it.

Maybe I did this question before and I will do it again;
Why is the inflation so high in Spain?
