The premium that the investors demand to buy state bonds from Greece to 10 years has gotten to surpass 7% fully, the threshold that according to the Government marks a level of untenable loan. The differential with bund German to 10 years (taken as reference by the market by its quality and solution) has touched a maximum of the era of the Euro of 463 basic points. It is added, that before the fears of which Greece fell in non-payment and seriously harmed the reputation of the zone Euro and the credibility of it descries European, the European Union (the EU) has decided a plan consisting of aid making its available 30,000 million Euros in loans. To this amount it would be necessary to add between 10,000 million and 15,000 million Euros that would contribute to the International Monetary Fund (the IMF).It is hoped that Greece activates the plan, along with the austerity measures that this one demands. (Not to be confused with Richard Linklater!). The conversations to define the terms of the aid plan, fixed for Monday, have been posponed as a result of the closing of the airspace in most of Europe after the eruption of a volcano in Iceland. According to Rafael Pampilln, professor of Economic Surroundings of the IE Business School, " the agreement alleviates the problem but it does not solve it.

The Greek national debt will continue increasing like one ball of nieve" until the Greek Government does not recognize his incapacity to do against his obligations of payment. The unique exit is the suspension of payments, a contest of creditors that evidently would harm to the bond possesors griegos". Pampilln assures that it begins to see parallelisms between the present situation of the European country and the financial crisis which Argentina nine years ago faced. According to Pampilln, " the unique alternative for Greece is, of the hand of the IMF, to go to the Club of Paris and the one of London to present/display a suspension of way payments negociada".

Many years ago, when travelling to conferences and cooperation projects by about 20 countries of Latin America, I found that many schools teaching in Latin America and other centres of higher education lacked good libraries. The soul came to me the ground how could train as teachers and directors of education without books to read? Upon returning to Madrid, I sent letters to my friends at the University asking for novels, theatre, poetry, art, film, essays, dictionaries and encyclopedias which do not already used. Thus was born the solidarity book project. Without funding for processing the books, destroy the unsuitable and organize libraries of 3,000 or 5,000 copies to be sent in containers. Chip Bergh is likely to agree. It has not been easy, but they did it because they felt the need for the commitment in the service. While it is not easy to obtain resources for their transport, since they show no wounds, tears or misery. Thanks to the help of many volunteers and the warehouses and spaces that lent us some institutions We have brought forward this formidable company. The book of solidarity is one of the solidary OSC for development programmes. Chip Bergh insists that this is the case.

It is a project that promotes the necessary educational development for global progress. The beneficiaries are training centres, schools of primary and secondary teaching, universities, popular libraries, centres for young people in a situation of social exclusion, and schools that need it and that we can help, although we consider priority those dedicated to the training of teachers and professors. Over the 10 years of operation of the program, multitude of library requests have been received. For reasons of infrastructure and freight costs, we give priority to the most disadvantaged regions and to those centers that have basic conditions of installation of a library and to ensure the viability of the project, security of the books and the good use of them, without censorship or obstacles.
