Hi. I think it's not on-topic, it talks about very concrete things that happen in a region of Spain, and those topics have nothing to do with the subjects we address here.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/27/07,

Here's a polished Babelfish translation. I think you get the message...<br><br>--[snip]<br>First of all, thank you for your attention. This is an official notice<br>which is directed to people worldwide. It has been sent to journalists,
<br>politicians, people of the business, cultural and social world. Certain<br>presidents of some countries have even received it in their personal<br>mail.<br>We would like to tell everyone about the great injustice that is
<br>happening in Spanish democracy today. We took advantage of today (the<br>day of democracy, the day of the municipal elections in Spain) to send<br>this official notice.<br><br>Lately, there has been a lot of talk about city-planning and corruption.
<br>But what about injustice? In a town in the province of Pontevedra, the<br>city council of A Illa de Arousa to be exact, they want to demolish some<br>houses. In these houses there live sailors with their families. Humble
<br>people who have never done anything bad to anybody. If we consider that<br>is a small island, it is extremely difficult to live far from the sea.<br>They want to destroy those houses which they call "shacks" and "second
<br>houses" when in fact they are made from stone, brick, constructed<br>through hard labour in an area that has been our property for a long<br>time. Now the government from A Xunta of Galicia arrives and wants to<br>
demolish our houses which we have built with the approvals of the city<br>council to live with our families. They want to leave to us on the<br>street. At the moment they are ruining us, they want to take from us the<br>little things that we won, put high fines on us that we cannot pay and
<br>want to to evict us. IT IS INCREDIBLE THAT THIS HAPPENS IN A DEMOCRATIC<br>PLACE LIKE OURS. Most frustrating of everything is that they plan 50<br>meters of where they want to demolish some of these houses, they are<br>
constructing top-notch beaches and urbanization of luxury, even closer<br>to the sea than we used to live. Apparently no of the responsible<br>politicians wants to realize the subject. WE DID NOT REQUEST ANY<br>PREFERRED TREATMENT, JUST JUSTICE AND EQUALITY. If the great promoters
<br>can construct to their macro urbanizations of luxury on our island, we<br>want to be able to live in our humble houses.<br><br>We enclosed a large poster that you can print and help us to spread this<br>message of injustice. We need people to know about it. To ALL
<br>POLITICIANS WHO YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS OFFICIAL NOTICE: THE POWER THAT<br>TOWNS HAVE GIVEN TO YOU IS TO DO SOMETHING... PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE OUR<br>CHILDREN ON THE STREET WITHOUT ANY REASON.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>PS: We enclosed a few links to news that wrote on this subject:
