Petição pela Democratização do FMI / Movement for an Democratic I.M.F. / Movimiento Universal para la democratización del FMI / Mouvement universel pour la démocratisation du FMI / Demokratisierung des IWF

Dear Mr. David Vannier,

(I.M.F.)

Thank you for your e-mail, regarding which I would like to state as follow:

1. Regarding the closing of the nomination period on June 10, I must remind you that in my other country Portugal that is a national day, a holiday.

2. For that reason, the national law and international law states that when a period closes on an national day, religious day or holiday, that period it will be extended to the next ordinary day.

3. So, I presented my nomination on June 13, the first ordinary day after June 10th.

4. Therefore, unfortunately I.M.F. must consider my nomination, presented on proper time.

5. Regarding the second part of your e-mail, I must remind you that I.M.F. did not give me an equal opportunity to present my solid program to the honorable governors or to an Executive Director.

6. That didn’t happen with the other candidates, who had that chance, directly or indirectly.

7. If every man is equal on this World, this is a mankind’s Principal that even I.M.F. is obliged to follow.

8. Nevertheless, you must consider the position of my fellow citizen António Borges (Executive Director of I.M.F. for Europe). I’m certain that he will be most satisfied to know and support an application from a Portuguese.

9. Therefore, that anti-Democratic rule of I.M.F. (“you would have had to be nominated by a Governor of the IMF, or an Executive Director”) must be changed at once.

10. On the other hand, I must have, fairly, the opportunity to present my nomination, according to Universal Declaration of Man Rights.

11. And after all, I’m not an ordinary man; I’m Prince by divine right.

I have also the pleasure to inform you that this message will be present to the international press and to diplomatic representation all over the world, especially to the Greeks Authorities, to Portuguese Authorities to the Ireland Republic Authorities, and to the High-Commissary to the Refugees, in the name of which I had present my application.

Sincerely yours, kings regards, and God bless you.

D. Renato I – Prince of Independent Principality of Pontinha

As a sovereign of an independent country (The Independent Principality of Pontinha) without a debt, I hereby present my candidacy for President of the IMF.

I´am certain that I am the only candidate who will allow a better distribution of wealth world-wide, in order to restore the historic injustice that richer countries have imposed on less developed countries and with high poverty.

Please indicate the procedures necessary to formalize such a candidacy, in order to present my solid program throughout the world.

Yours sincerely,

D. Renato I

Na qualidade de soberano e de um País independente (Principado Independente da Pontinha), sem dívida externa, venho por este meio apresentar a minha candidatura a Presidente do F.M.I.

Julgo ser eu o único candidato que permitirá uma melhor distribuição da riqueza a nível mundial, de modo a repor a injustiça histórica que os Países mais ricos têm imposto aos países menos desenvolvidos e com elevada pobreza.

Queiram indicar quais as formalidades necessárias para formalizar a referida candidatura, de modo a poder apresentar o meu sólido programa a todo o Mundo.

Com os melhores cumprimentos,

D. Renato I

One of the main faces of the Templars of today Christopher Macklin has no doubts the authenticity of the nail that is believed has been used during the crucifixion of Christ, discovered on the Isle of Pontinha, in a box along with three swords and three skeletons, one with the inscription of the Cross of the Templars. One finding that was put into question by the Center for the Study of Modern and Contemporary Archaeology (MDE). Visiting the Region, where he gave yesterday, a conference in Hotel Porto Santa Maria, the Knight of the Order of Christ emphasized that the nails of crucifixion were given to the Templars and stored in a small box. Christopher Macklin added that in the fourteenth century the Templars were condemned to death and forced to flee on ships to various parts of the globe where they settled and may well have passed through Madeira. Knight of the Order of Christ points out that the box found at Fort St. Joseph, contained in files of the Templars, so it is possible to authenticate it. In June, will be edited a publication in which the Templars promise to tell the truth about some secrets kept for centuries, as the truth about Christ, about the code mentioned in the works of Dan Brown and even on the Holy Grail. “We want to tell people the truth because we believe that this is the right time for that.”

Translation from Diario de Notícias

It was on this atoll that the discoverers, in 1419, took refuge before stepping onto its neighboring island – the Island of Madeira.

In 1903, the island was sold to citizen Great Britain, and Portugal lost his control and sovereignty over the island support in the Royal Charter.

In 1996, the Portuguese authorities showed their interest to reclaim the island from its British owner which, however, remained unfulfilled. Since 2000, the ownership right of the island was acquired by an individual Portuguese citizen. Since then, the owner of the island has been pressurized by the Portuguese governors to hands off his ownership over the property by selling and giving the custody of the island to them.

Given the situation of trying the unlawful occupation by the Portuguese state full member of an international organization of European Union, the prince is asking the United Nations and the international community will help against the occupying country, the Royal Charter letter is deposited in London and is recognized by the Portuguese state, in 2006.
