Some of the classic language institutions in Sweden have considered closing down due<br>> to lack of students.<br><br>Considering that Spanish is a latin-derived language -for instance: <span style="font-style: italic;">dixit</span> means said in English (then, <span style="font-style: italic;">Calvo dixit</span> means Calvo said), and said means <span style="font-style: italic;">dijo</span> in Spanish ... are quite simmilar <span
style="font-style: italic;">dixit</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">dijo</span>-, and considering that Carmen Calvo is a Doctor in Constitucional Law -which implies the knowledge of many latin phrases like <span style="font-style: italic;">prima facie</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">ex novo</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">in dubio pro reo</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">onus probandi</span>, etc- and also was then the Minister of Culture ... thinking she was called <span style="font-style: italic;">Dixie</span> was somewhat bizarre -and a shocking event for Internet users, who thought <span style="font-style: italic;">what did we do to deserve such a minister?</span> -some may think that what they did was voting her party ... wrong answer as her opposition counterpart, Beatriz Rodriguez-Salmones, accused Calvo (despite her alignment with copyright management societies) of being too soft with filesharing!-

Ayala<br> ( Aiarakoa )<br><br> Partido Pirata National Board's Chairman<br><br>P.D.: And not only because of latin
phrases, it's amazing that Carmen Calvo is a Doctorate in Constitutional Law holder ... the Spanish IP Law -which implements the 2001/29/EC Directive- violates several articles of our national constitution -we, PIRATA, arrived late; latest Spanish IP Law was passed on July 2006; Constitutional Law allows only a three-month period after passing a law to question it (then only until October 2006); and PIRATA was formally constituted as a party in January 2007 ... now it can only be questioned by a judge when applying a concrete article of IP Law during a trial ... and only if the judge wants to-.<br></div></div><br>
