We're not Brazil we're Northern Ireland - singing football fans from the North Green Island. Meanwhile, what is happening recently in power in Belfast, a little Brazilian soap opera begins to resemble. As a result, Prime Minister decided to go to Belfast for six week from his post.
As with any Brazilian soap opera, here is a betrayal, forbidden love, money and power. Just that everything happening in Belfast and the surrounding area and not in the open air hot in South America.
współrządzą in Northern Ireland under the peace agreement of 1998 the two parties coming from opposite sides of the conflict there - prolondyńska and Protestant Democratic Unionist Party and the Republican and Catholic Sinn Fein, which over the years, the political superstructure of the Irish Republican Army. Today - just on behalf of Sinn Fein - a of the former leaders of the IRA from the time of the sharpest conflicts, Martin McGuinness is deputy prime minister. What's more, has been recognized in a recent survey, which spoke to representatives from Protestant backgrounds, the most popular policy in the country. A prime minister of the Protestant DUP leader Peter Robinson plunged into trouble.
several days Northern Ireland because of the affair rumbles in the home of Robinson. Peter and Iris have been married for almost 40 years. He began his political career almost immediately after the entry into adult life - in 1979 he sat in the British Parliament since 1998, is a member of Legislative Assembly in Belfast. Staunch supporter of the union of Northern Ireland to London, in his youth, he became famous with the spectacular actions against any agreements with Irish nationalists. Prime Minister has been following the retirement of Ian Paisley, the creator of the DUP, a group that goes beyond the traditional understanding of the political party - is also a kind of religious formation, with strongly conservative vision of the world.
Iris Robinson, a serious political career began in 2001, winning the battle for electoral mandate in parlemencie in Westminster. Since 1989, he was a councilor at Castlereagh - District of Belfast, where exercising three times as Mayor. In keeping with the conservative line of his group, spoke of themselves as "born again a Christian, believed that the government has a duty to obey the" laws of God ", loud, too, were her statements that homosexuality is a disease that should be cure. A few days ago it appeared that the Iris - 61-year-old mother of three children - had for over a year affair with dziewiętnastolatkiem. And that's even forward to her young lover are not disclosed in testimony finanasowych development money his business. Image sedate political marriage shivered to pieces with a bang, and the fragments have poharatały Peter Robinson.
On Monday, former First Minister of Northern Ireland announced that it disappears for six weeks from the position. Earlier, his party had thrown from their ranks Iris Robinson. Local tabloid and have a great use, with more or less concealed satisfaction, attacking the hypocrisy of the First Lady's recent Belfast.
Because if history is created for this type of sensation-hungry tabloids. It all started with a dozen years ago, when Kirk McCambley - so called because the 'toyboy', as they write affectionately about a young lady lover ministers newspaper - he was a boy a few years. Then it was presented to the Robinson family, his father was in fact a well-known and respected businessman persona in Protestant east Belfast. Knowledge of the family remained until in 2008 a tragedy occurred. After a severe car accident, Kirk's father, Billy, died. Then it decided to take care of Iris Kirk. Took care of the extremely sensitive. The local newspaper, where Iris was never a favorite, accurately describes where, how and when the lovers met. It turns out that Ms. Robinson invited Kirk also to his marital bedroom, while her husband dealt with state affairs.
Of course, it could not escape the public mind the similarity of names, prime minister of the heroine of the movie "The Graduate", who seduces the young man.
Of course, there is no denying that the film Mrs Iris Robinson Belfast little lacking ...
However, the web sites started a great campaign that probably the most famous song from the soundtrack of this classic film with Dustin Hoffman - is "Mrs. Robinson" - has become the number 1 on the charts in Northern Ireland.
time for sweet revenge gay environment are also not forget the iris of her statements. Editors of one of the largest gay magazine in the UK "Attitiude" Kirk wants to be the cover star of the next release. Sam Kirk also exhibits admirable cool - come to work every day as a manager of a pub Lock Keepers Inn. It is the spin of the premises, situated in a desirable location on the banks of the River Lagan, the young man got the money from Iris Robinson.
Money is just as important, if not more important than the entire envelope of manners matter. Because it became clear that Iris Robinson received a total of 50,000 pounds from the two contractors. The money was never officially recorded. Iris gave them to her lover, then headed by her community helped Kirk spin a business in a place that already has applied unsuccessfully several entrepreneurs. For a favor - in the words of Kirk - took 5,000 of this amount. When the autumn of 2008 the boy decided to end the relationship, Iris began to reclaim the whole amount. Now look at the financial services throughout the state financial Robinson. In March 2009 the affair of his wife learned of Peter Robinson. Then Iris tried to commit suicide. But the whole affair remained a secret until December. Exactly one day before the end of Iris year issued a message that due to severe depression, withdrawing from politics. Journalists, however, began to suspect that the case has a back and after a week of romance and scandal knew everybody.
Now Peter Robinson has fought only for his political position. His wife - according to an official announcement - is staying in the therapy of psychological assistance in the establishment (although some sources maintain that escaped from confusion to one of the Alpine ski resorts), lost all her political positions and public life has no future. Future Peter is also quite uncertain, though it has the official support of his party. But the opinion that if he does not know what is happening in their own home, problems of the country, which still has not healed the wounds after years of conflict may surpass him, is becoming more common. Robinson recently, moreover, was regarded as a brake on the process of transferring the supervision of police and justice from London to Belfast. For now, the prime minister's chair to replace it with Arlene Foster, party colleague. Difficult task awaits her - in an increasing dissatisfaction with the Republican drag the DUP process of transferring all the power from London to Belfast, the Loyalist party weakened by scandal - the tabloids are reporting that, in its ranks is still a former lover Iris - may be unable to take any firm decisions, and all this creates an ideal breeding ground for extremists - both the one and the second side of the stage. On the disclosure of the scandal in the assassination was organized by nationalist terrorists policeman was seriously wounded. Loyalist extremes can kill Gerry Adams, head of Sinn Feinn. It really is not Brazil.
