(Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds, ICV) is a political party in Catalonia, Spain. It was formed as a merger of Iniciativa per Catalunya and Els Verds. IC had been an alliance led by Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya and was the equivalent of Izquierda Unida in Catalonia. IC later developed into a political party, and PSUC was dissolved.

Re: Spanish Compass (none / 1)

This just in from ICV's single sitting MEP:

Raül Romeva i Rueda - Els blocs de VilaWeb - MÉSVilaWeb		Raul Romeva i Rueda (MEP) - The blogs of VillaWeb - MEsVilaWeb
Hace unas semanas, Greenpeace denunció ante la fiscalía que una empresa gallega, Armadores Vidal, había estado recibiendo subvenciones del gobierno español (3,6 millones de euros entre 2003 y 2005) a pesar de que ésta acumula desde 1999 numerosas sanciones en varios países por pescar ilegalmente en medio mundo.		A few weeks ago, Greenpeace denounced before the public prosecutors that a Galician company, Armadores Vidal, had been receiving aid from the Spanish government (€3.6bn between 2003 and 2005) despite accumulating since 1999 numerous sanctions in various countries for illegal fishing all over the world.
La semana pasada, empezó la temporada de pesca del Atún. Los científicos nos dicen que hace ya tiempo que hemos superado los límites aceptables de pesca sostenible de esta especie en claro riesgo de desaparición.		Last week, the tuna fishing season began. Scientists tell us that it's been a long time since the acceptable limits of sustainable fishing were exceeded for this species, at clear risk of disappearing.
Estos días la Ministra española de defensa se encuentra en Somalia dirigiendo el operativo de protección a la industria atunera desplegada en el Índico, frente a la piratería. Si los atuneros europeos tienen que alejarse tanto de sus casas para trabajar se debe, primero, a que los estocs más cercanos están a punto de colapsar, y segundo, porque contamos con una flota excesivamente subvencionada y claramente sobredimensionada que busca rentabilidad a costa, incluso, de acabar con el principal elemento que sustenta su actividad: los peces.		These days the Spanish Minister of Defence is in Somalia directing the operations protecting the tuna industry deployed in the Indian ocean from piracy. If European tuna fishers have to go so far from their homes to work it is due, first, to the fact that the nearest stocks are close to collapsing, and second, because we have an excessively subsidised and clearly too large fleet which seeks returns at all costs, even finishing off the main element that sustains their activity: fish.
