I know everybody think it's bad.
I'm asking opinions about:
-What should the governs do in order to avoid these disasters?
-What about the actuation of Spanish government in this disaster?Mariano Rajoy (a Spanish Minister) said on November 14th that it was imposible that the fuel arrives to the coast, and Spanish government didn't do anything. The president of Galicia wasn't in Galicia, and he didn't returned til 1 week later.
And what about the manipulations of Spanish TeleVision (TVE)? They are trying to disimulate the disaster. They don't say about the manifestation in Santiago de Compostela, protesting about the Spanish government actuation (the biggest manifestation in the history of Galicia) with the motto "Nunca Mais" (Never Again in the Galician Language)
The Spanish guvernment hasn't done anything but lie. They say that the oil was at 35 km to the coast, when it was at 1 km.
The fishermen could see the oil ruining his lifeway. And that oil didn't exist according to the Spanish government.
Why Spanish government didn't do what scientifics suggest it? (Transport the fuel to another ship) Spanish Government didn't do anything but move the ship some miles, til it went down. Now it's at bottom of the sea, and it follow dirtying the sea
It's shameful. That fuel is cancerigenic, but the people is cleaning it with his hands, because Spanish Government doesn't give them gloves.
And that's in Europe. Imagine what would happen if something like this happens in Africa or Asia.
-What should the governs do in order to avoid these disasters?
besides clean up when they occur, severe penalties for cruising an oil tanker while drunk or under the influence of an illegal substance... Exxon Valdez occurred this way.
Also, test all people in charge of piloting the ship for drugs... to make sure they aren't drunk, etc.. good lord should we have another exxon valdez disaster because of a drunkard.
