New president. New ideas? Will the action start?

Submitted by webmaster on Tue, 12/20/2011 - 12:09

Yesterday the new "elected" president of Spain spoke about his plans to implement drastic cuts in Spain's budget. More speaking! We shall see if any action follows. In fact, even if there is no action, the end of credit is nigh. They do not have an option. There is no money. For instance, Catalonia might not be able to pay all it's civil servants in December. And in January? Don't ask. Things work on a day to day basis in Spain. There might be a miracle! but don't hold your breath.

Spain: too little too late.

Spanish politicians now agree that there seems to be a problem. More and more scandals are popping up left, right and center. They see that their cushy lifestyle and pensions might be affected, or that whatever they do might be a bit too conspicuous compared to the hard working classes.Maybe not, they do not mix if they can avoid it. It's all somebody elses fault though. Mañana will be another day....

They still do not understand that income (credit is not income) is less than expenses.

Spanish politicians waste vital time bickering

Spanish politicians waste important time bickering. It seems they are not up to the circumstances and find any excuse to forget the potentially lethal economic situation. Apparently the use of the language used at school is now of vital importance. Another sad example of total ineptitude that will only worsen the dire economic outcome in years to come.

Spain risks riots and revolt if VAT and other taxes are increased.

Politicians in Spain

seem to be completely out of touch with everyday life in Spain. With the highest unemployment rates in Europe, a huge amount of workers on the minimum wage, an ever increasing closure of companies, Spanish people are every time more struggling to earn a living. If these people are taxed even more, the feeling of hopelessness might turn to rage.

Will the Catalan Government start getting rid of civil servants? They still rely on the Spanish civil servants and the whims of Madrid. One day things might change, maybe mañana. Don't hold your breath though.


Spain's civil servants (or some of them) see that maybe there s a crisis after all.

This month Oriol Pujol stated that the economy is not in good health, and that civil servant's salaries might not be able to be met sometime in the near future.

This was the case in many small to medium businesses a year ago, but politicians were above such petty affairs, it seemed. Now that the economic situation is starting to become a threat nearer to home, politicians (mainly civil servants) start to worry. Worry, not much else though. Words, and more words, and mañana is another day. Let's wait and see what happens shall we?. In the meantime, there is a big social change in Egypt.

The world is changing!

In the news this week: wikipedia and twitter. The US is losing it's credibility as a "democracy" and defender of freedom of speech.

Internet is growing, technology is also helping create new ways of life. All this will converge to create a different type of society, where the old idea of "state" and power will change forever. A new revolution is coming, slowly, but surely.

The spanish armada is sinking again!

Things in Spain are not well, and nothing is being done to put things right.

A small example that points to the obvious:

An article in a small local newspaper:

http://www.diaridegirona.cat/comarques/2010/12/27/nombre-dempleats-publi...

The number of Civil servants grows a 22% to 26,248 and unemployment has trebled in that same period.
