I tried, but... raising funds is always the most contentious issue as.... YOU can be assured of troubles, don't expect it to be smooth... as you watch how (just saw that) prisoners are voluntarily held as far as possible from their homeland (Euskadi, on hunger strike since? don't know. How many? don't know - a cable) as frequently as possible to make it difficult for their family and lawyers to visit as well as forcing them into languages and cultures they ignore, part of "how to qualify" it treatment to break their soul, you can expect the tax body as well as all welfare bodies and other organisations centraly (paris) funded to raid any company or business found "guilty" of funding any attempt to promote what they're and have been trying to destroy?

And at opposing the "majority" to european bodies and allow the minorities to think their interests are ignored and irrelevant, they're very smart.... and a bit sad for several reasons no voice at all within the medias to call for some more reasonable debate. At that game, once more the paris central gov has proved to be able to manipulate european bodies, they got (Mrs Redding) the outburst they were looking for.... Looking back at 1994 (I'm off for a cup of coffee) In fact, was back, the connection is poor...! Yop, she's cute isn't she...? Well, was telling you... ie... sorry was 1992 while the central gov sign with EU counterparts the Protection Act for minorities languages, after a scare campaign with the active participation of the "national front" pass the legislation of state monolinguism... using the "french" attraction for something "secure" in the midst of social confrontation with fresh immigrants over a poor economy and a lack of jobs lasting for decades.... this describe best their type of game setting.... Is that clear? They're bloody good at that aren't they? This is a very inappropriate and machist remark..? yes it is.

Time for some formal sanctions?
That's how I look at the first actions for the future lobbies. Through the very clear 1992 time table of events, build up the case for the impossible task for anyone without time and/or a "foreign education" to truly exercise the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights according to the spirit of the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Now how naive is it to think the french leadership shameful conduct of public affairs is largely ignored among the EU countries...?, and the breach of the People's trust somewhat acceptable?

And right there you get some understanding for the "french blocades" or why the reforms management always leads to a confrontation both sides of the political spectrum (excluding the workers organisations that shouldn't find themselves in the middle of a fiscal policy war) taking advantage of a divide ignoring the true people's interests, politics guiding their actions rather than the people's comfort, the understanding of challenges and the active citizens investment in the management of their interests.
