Cristina & Maria M. group's summary of the situation in Spain | Resumen de la situación de España de Cristina & María M.

Is not it due the economic crisis in Spain?

This is not a specificic problem of Spain, but it is part of the capitalist crisis model that is affecting all countrys in the globalized world, more or less severely according to the economic strenght of each country. In Spain, the problem has worsened due to indecision and mismanagement by governments from the beginning of the crisis. The Popular Party government intends to set the basis of spanish debt do extreme cuts in all areas. Some of these cuts make sense, as the political caste has been enjoying banalities and has been involved in corruption since the transition, but most are being applied to the workers, who already are struggling to make ends months. The scenario is that a high section of the Spanish population is without work and those who do work, work increasingly more and charge less and must bear the entire burden of the exorbitant number of unemployed. The government does not seem to want to change the course, bit insists on its policy to cut costs on all sides. To this must be added the closure of hospitals and other public services staples, with their laid-off employees to save.

I find it shameful that the government protects the elite class. I understand why the PP does so (as was seen for months, when they were private funds in the country and Spain had to ask for a bailout to Europe), but I disagree, what it is seen in the setreets. This policy is unsustinable, and I doubt we will overcome this economic crisis which is creating more uneployement and less spending.

Our own opinion

We think that Spain is in a serious economic situation and therefore that we must get off it all, the rich should pay more and help those in need for equalitty above all. We also think these cuts will not help much because these savings are to pay money to be spent on the banks to help them pay interest on the public debt.
