Leo Varadkar ya es Primer Ministro de Irlanda
June 15, 2017 5:51
Ya lo habíamos anunciado, pero ayer se hizo realidad en la Dáil, cámara baja del Parlamento de la República de Irlanda. Un hijo de emigrante indio, públicamente homosexual, Leo Varadkar, ha sido elegido Taoiseach (primer ministro), sustituyendo a Enda Kenny, por 57 votos a favor (Fine Gael e independientes), 50 en contra (Sinn Féin, laboristas y otros de izquierda) y 47 abstenciones (Fianna Fáil). A sus 38 años se ha convertido en el Taoiseach más joven de la Historia. Su elección se interpreta como una muestra de la modernización y secularización que ha experimentado Irlanda en los últimos años, tras la pérdida de peso de la Iglesia católica motivada por el escándalo de la pederastia y, en paralelo, el reconocimiento de derechos para las personas homosexuales.
En su primer discurso como Primer Ministro, Varadkar se comprometió a encabezar un Gobierno del “nuevo centrismo europeo”, al estilo de Emmanuel Macron en…

He smiles and winks
With adoration at me he looks
Beautiful you are he macks
Today as always he speaks
I can feel the spark
Try not to be flirt ired
To ignore proves hard
Speech good to behold
Feels good to be complimented
The spark has ignited
Calls and chats
His company tickles
But hes not for keeps
Never to have for evers
Ignition in flames
In camera really good
Polite and gentled
But can’t brag to friend
Forbidden so hidden
The flames have bursted
Its gonna burn someday
Playing with fire I say
Its a game we play
Sure to bepunctured
Love flames makes prey
Just A Little Thought

We can’t sweep our sad moments under the rug just to pretend that they don’t exist and then heap happy platitudes on top of them.
To heal we must bring them to light. Air them out. Cry. Shout. Do what you need to do. But don’t swallow them.
That’s no way to fix what’s broken. Hiding them away is like putting a plaster on a festering wound. It’s not being courageous to bottle it all up, rather it takes courage to seek resolution.
If you are hurting in any way, seek for a reliable, supportive person to talk to, if you have no one to talk to, free write it all out even if it’s anonymously and send it out there.
Be well.

You’ll Have Your Day in Court, But Keep Your Mouth Shut

Police guarding the entrance to the Dzherzhinsky District Court, in downtown Petersburg, on the morning of June 13, 2017. Many of the people detained during the previous day’s anti-corruption protest on the nearby Field of Mars were brought to this court for their hearings after spending the night in police custody. According to media reports and eyewitness accounts, most of the detainees, who were in fact merely exercising their right to assembly and right to free speech on a site deliberately designated by the mayor’s office as the city’s “Hyde Park,” have been sentenced to several days in jail and heavy fines.
