Comment:
integration in Germany and Ecuador - a
By comparison Axel Jeroma
One issue dominated public debate for days in Germany: the integration of foreigners into society. Or rather, the demand to throw them out of the country, if they come off the rails. The problem of integration, Germany has not exclusive. Also in Ecuador is home to a considerable number of foreigners. How to deal here with this issue? What are the similarities and differences compared to Germany? And the conclusions to be drawn from this? These issues go to our comment of the week.
Who wants to live and work in Ecuador and long term needs, first of a visa. Without going to legally nothing. The entry permit usually gets only one who wants the country to pursue a regulated activity - Such as a company or nonprofit organization. This should ensure that any costs incurred by the State of Ecuador through the residence of the employee. Background of scheme: The government wants to prevent dropouts or windy business people come into the country and at the end of the state are on the bag. Much is expected from the public way, would not. Because the social network in Ecuador has long been linked not so tight as in Germany. More than a universal service in the event of illness does not the state. From a security in the event of unemployment or disability, as in Germany, people can only dream of in Ecuador.
an important difference is also available for law enforcement. In Germany, currently require a number of politicians, the rapid deportation of foreign criminals. That gives the German law expressly ago. A rapid deportation would long for some offenders Europeans in Ecuador. Because the prison conditions are harsh. But the deportation of prisoners is the exception. A prison sentence must be served most fully in Ecuador because between the country and the European Union is no extradition treaty. The number of European immigrants in the prisons of Ecuador is small. This speaks for the tourists and immigrants from Europe and their respect for the laws of their host country.
The key to integration is without doubt the language. Those who can not talk to the people will never fully be in a country home. This applies to Germany as well as in Ecuador. Language schools there are in the Andean country as a penny. Learning the language is left to the immigrants left to themselves. The state would never think to promote the study of foreign language financially so that their successful integration. In addition, there are no national performance assessments in terms of the language. Why should they? The fact is governed by themselves who want to master the everyday life in Ecuador and to the life, needs English, at least basic skills. Without that, it is nowhere more - Not at the bakery on the corner, and certainly not at the office. That is motivation enough to learn the language and understand the culture of the country.
What comes in the integration of foreigners in Ecuador to property, is the openness of the people. One perceives the stranger wants to know something of him, answered his questions, it helps. Open hostility, particularly against European foreigners are foreign to the Ecuadorians. The repugnant nature. Finally, Ecuador itself is a potpourri of different tribes. A stranger is therefore not seen as a threat but as a fellow human being. One whom God has also created and loves, as it says in the Bible. What
the issue of integration is concerned, I mean, specifically can we learn from the Germans a lot of Ecuadorians. On the one hand, there are clear guidelines mentioned in the country: Those who do not the laws, customs and respect the Andean nation can not expect leniency or understanding. Rightly so. But on the other hand, there are also the aforementioned openness to the stranger, the seeker.
It would be nice if they could take two attitudes in Germany Room. They would cool down an overheated debate at a bearable temperature.
************* The message for 17 January 2008
volcano spews fire and ash
The tension surrounding the Tungurahua volcano increases: For days, stepping out of the 5000 meter high volcano lava and ash. Some of the surrounding villages had been evacuated. About 250 hectares of arable land are unusable by the ash fall. The tourist center Baños was wrapped over the weekend by a dense cloud of dust. The volcanologists fear that it will soon be a powerful blast inside the volcano.
food prices rise noticeably
Significant additional expenditure for the daily meal: Food prices in Ecuador have risen noticeably in recent weeks. The pound of pasta, for example, has become more expensive in some supermarkets by up to 50 cents. Because of price increases in the food industry now most meal costs in the day and fast food restaurants 30-50 cents more
economy demands reliability of policies
demanded security for investors : The economy is Ecuador not per se against the policies of President Rafael Correa . It said last week, a senior business representatives the press in Quito . The important thing is that in the country after the new constitution and general elections, political stability following the feeding. Investors need certainty. Otherwise they would move to other countries.
military want to vote
soldiers want to go to the polls: The Ecuadorian military has in the past week, the right to vote for members the armed forces required. An application filed, the military leadership of the country last week, one in Constituent Assembly . In the panel to sit with Luis Hernandez and Gilmar Gutierrez former high-ranking military of the country. They assured their support to the request. The majority party Acuerdo País also signaled willingness to consider the issue favorably.
Noboa loses seat in the Constituent Assembly
presidential candidate Three-time outside before: Álvaro Noboa , one of the main political opponent of Ecuador President Rafael Correa , lost his seat in the Constituent Assembly. The reason for the exclusion: It was not until the end of last week as requested submitted his asset and tax return to the Bureau. All other members had submitted their documents on time. The submission of the declarations were required for carrying out the mandate .
talk about games in high altitudes: The South African Football Association Conmebol advice in the next week a major issue for Ecuador and Bolivia. It is about the suggestion of the World Football Association FIFA that World Cup qualifying matches will be allowed in future from 2750 meters only if the player before getting sufficient time for acclimatization. We are talking about at least a week. This demand is due to the busy schedule of the professionals but practically impossible. Therefore seems possible scenario: The South African forces to agree on future qualifying matches unsubscribe 3000 is not more meters. So this would only La Paz out of the race.
sun and rain, alternating
Finally, as always, the views of the weather: sun and rain have alternated in the last week in the Andean highlands . Most of the rainfall has been taken in the evening and night hours. Thus, the outdoor cafes during the day were numerous Guests love who wanted to spend their lunch outside under the umbrellas.
