  • Slovenian Ambassador Apologizes for Signing #ACTA
    http://activepolitic.com:82/News/2012-01-31e/Slovenian_Ambassador_Apologizes_for_Signing_ACTA.html

    The Slovenian Ambassador to Tokyo has issued a public apology for signing ACTA. He claims that he was neglegent and didn’t know what he was doing. Rough translation:

    "I signed Acta out of Civil #negligence, because I was not careful enough. I quite simply did not link the agreement to which I was signing, to the authority of the Government. With that agreement, which, I believe restricts freedom of action taken on the biggest and most important network in the history of mankind; and thus imposes limits to future generations of our children.

    #WTF !

      Why I signed ACTA
      http://metinalista.si/why-i-signed-acta

      On Thursday, 26th January, 2012, I signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) on behalf of the Republic of Slovenia, following the directive and authorisation of the Slovenian government. A somewhat longer clarification of the signature can be found on the Media section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, which explains the role of the Ministry and my role as the Slovenian Ambassador to Japan. This explanation states that I signed the agreement because I was instructed to do so by the government, and because it is a part of my job.
      (...)
      I signed ACTA out of civic carelessness, because I did not pay enough attention. Quite simply, I did not clearly connect the agreement I had been instructed to sign with the agreement that, according to my own civic conviction, limits and withholds the freedom of engagement on the largest and most significant network in human history, and thus limits particularly the future of our children.
