Bon Jovi, Lionel Richie, 50 cent, Beyonce, Nelly Furtado and Mariah Carey are among the artists who have performed at private concerts for Gaddafi in exchange for approximately one million euros per performance. Of them all, and after recent revolutionary developments in Libya, at least the last three singers have said they donated that amount for humanitarian purposes. This news has reminded me about eloquent statements with which our Prime Minister criticized the opposition leader a few weeks ago: "You can change your criteria in light of the circumstances, which is quite unusual is not have discretion. "
(Digression: Despite what the president says he knows and we all know that Mariano Rajoy has discretion. What happens is that you prefer not to show it to not lose votes. We are not therefore a case of lack of criteria but a perversion of democracy, which is much worse.)
As I was saying.
Beyonce, Nelly Furtado and Mariah Carey have donated entirely to charity the amount that Gadhafi gave each one singing. The key to this information is in the integrity, approximately one million euros, it makes the money donated money received, beyond the contingency shooting ticket-and makes common action an act of retribution and penance. "The Gaddafi clan paid me a million dollars for a 45-minute show to guests in a hotel in Italy. Donate dollars," he tweeted Nelly Furtado. "I feel horrible and ashamed to have participated," Mariah Carey has confessed to giving cushioned blows to the chest.
ignorance should not excuse the excuse or justification. What's wrong with multi-million dollar move from the hands of people who oppress the people to people whose job is to entertain these people? Reprehensible in any case, it would be that the songs of these artists talk how well it is in no freedoms and the good and wise is the dictator ... But I think that is not the case.
Now, donate money to last tyrant is a way to black and bleached. To black because, after all, is to recognize that this was laundered dirty money and because they save the explanations about their bad company. An ad with the then chose not to tell.
As the President said, "you can change your criteria in light of the circumstances." What is unusual, I guess, is that the change of position to pull it's own benefit rather than a common dignity.
