The Irish politics and society have traditionally had three main pillars: the Catholic church, the Fianna Fáil-dominant party since independence nine decades ago, and the Gaelic Football Association, the favorite sport and a symbol of national identity. The first time it collapsed following a series of scandals that reduced his influence, the latter has collapsed in elections two weeks ago because of financial disaster, and the country now relies only on the third.
A new era has begun in the stricken Ireland to the inauguration of Enda Kenny as Taoiseach of the conservative Fine Gael. And if one thing is certain is that it faces a gigantic task, with a debt and impoverishment Ireland beset by inflation and 14% unemployment, where the brick crisis has created a bleak landscape of ghost towns, families lose their homes, hundreds of businesses close every month and young people migrate to Australia and New Zealand as their ancestors did to the United States and Britain.
"My commitment," said an optimistic Kenny, because politics is prohibited pessimism is to have always and above all the truth, although it is difficult to digest. Things have deteriorated so much that honesty is not only the best option, but the only option. But the future will be better than this, and in 2016 we celebrate the centenary of the Irish Easter Rising will be a prosperous and respected, to be proud of himself.
" The Irish, hard hit by poor and corrupt management that has swept away much of the quality of life won since joining the European Union, not all have them. And they believe that the new taoiseach is a bit naive to promise to live in such a short time "in the best small country in the world to have a business, raise a family and grow old with dignity and respect," laudable objectives for which the Most people think that there will be no money.
Money is obviously the main concern of enthusiast Kenny, who today travels to Brussels for an important meeting of the EU which will lay the groundwork for future bailouts members drowned by debt, and may be decisive the future of the single currency. Be your first contact with the heavyweights of the union, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Kenny, who heads a coalition government with Labour promised in its election platform to try to negotiate better terms for the repayment of the loan of 85,000 million euros granted to Ireland by the EU and the International Monetary Fund to cover the black hole banking and state. But it will be immensely difficult to persuade its European partners to make concessions if it is a radical change from a rise in corporate tax (17.5%), which Brussels considers unfair competition.
Labour leader Eamon Gilmore, foreign minister in the coalition government, has parked his claims make it less burdensome electoral budget cuts, but is bound to produce friction similar to those in England between conservatives and liberal Democrats. With the collapse of the Fianna Fáil, which has lost two thirds of its members, Irish politics has taken a traditional division between left and right, Democrats and Social Democrats.
