Today, on September 8, 2010, was the deadline for getting in Parliament, enough signatures to make the written statement the official stance 12/2010 of the Parliament in relation to anti-counterfeiting treaty ACTA.
Today, on September 8, 2010, 377 signatures have been obtained of 377 MEPs, which means eight more than necessary.
This means that it will not be so easy for the big lobbying pressure, to take control of the life of European citizens will no longer be so easy, those who are much time on it, decide we're going to see or write on the Internet, it can no longer easily filter our communication to see everything we do, because no company can compel for good, to any operator to violate data protection without a warrant, at least not with the consent of our MEPs ... among other things.
Today we saw we were not "four cats" with "three ignorant, as they claim to believe public opinion, we tried to talk to our representatives and we have heard, ... this time if we have heard.
And today I want to thank many people, all those, Internet or otherwise, who have been with us several months trying to get information about ACTA to as many friends as possible, we have explained, or initiated, which meant all this, who was who, the terms in which he was talking about, why were secret negotiations and to where they were willing to go.
Today I want to thank all who have supported me, and by extension also supported those who fought with me, the mere fact of having given publicity to what we wrote, advertised our blogs, or share our tweets our publications on Facebook, your comments were always a great encouragement.
I thank also the other groups, both English and those of Europe, and even support from outside Europe (such as from Mexico and other friendly countries which I have to say and we will not forget them), delivery and all the information we have been able to share in all this time, and that the view is: he has served, and for a lot. I want to make special mention to all the people of La Quadrature du Net ", which have been a reference and a source of information and energy and because we have addressed each time the we needed, they have been those that have been updated on the real situation in record time.
is true that this is not over, ACTA has great writers and is always the possibility that any of the member states of the European Union or even all of them subscribed, Ultimately, this aberration of a treaty, anything is possible, but hardly as the European Union may conclude, therefore requiring no policy about it. And in the unlikely event that any country would do so, I think it is clear that they will have to face the public and what is important to their constituencies.
But I do not want to say goodbye without devoting too few words to the other party, as there have been many MEPs who have not supported the written statement, which is entirely respectable, I guess they all have their views on the subject and no one can argue against that, but there is something I can not overlook, namely
First thank the honorable exceptions, that there They answered our emails explaining our concerns and to be interested in your opinion and his stance on the issue.
And second, criticize the silence of the majority but not forgetting that we who represent, I have nothing against those who would like to support the statement but I do not find ways for my representatives, ignoring, if not disdain, for those who have entrusted their interests and defend their rights, I feel bad policy no answer and I think that is something they should correct it at the end of the day, voters are and should respect the commitment that we have acquired.
And I do not intend to make this a rebuke to one party or another, since in the two major parties has been who has not signed and the criticism is intended to reach all parties if it is true that very few of PSOE which have not signed up, only 2, while very few of the PP that if you have signed, only 3, and that, if signed by the President of the European People's Party.
But my reproach you go further, you reach all those who, having no intention to sign, have not been able to answer, although there have been several times we have been interested in the subject, which have not been able to inform voters, those they represent, what were the reasons why they could not sign the statement. We demand transparency in its decision because, after all, their decisions are our decisions, whether they sign or not, but on our behalf and we demand also that we listen to be our interests that prevail at the time of supporting or not something of this caliber and that so profoundly affect the welfare and basic rights of a people.
No more I would like to again thank to all those involved to get that today Europe is a bit more freely without ACTA.
Pd .- I want to apologize to all groups and individuals in Spain with whom I worked and who have helped us not to name them all, Understand that the possibility of leaving someone out, and with this my memory, I decided to start a long list.
