popular group in Congress has been paid to the demagogic proposals. Each week we have some of the same tenor with opportunism and a lack of imagination alarming. Even were the first to do so. First was the PNV and plagiarism are now limited to the track every week to see if they win a vote so we can applaud a minute at the end of each session. It is not only childish but it's pathetic.
You really do not have any worthwhile initiative to discuss in full? "On any subject? Do not they think of anything constructive to contribute to the economic recovery? Are not able to work in the same direction and tuning with the government, to join forces, to submit proposals made improvements?
The proposed reduction of 25% of senior officials and advisors is demagogic, arbitrary and unworkable. Why 25%? Why not 20 or 30? Why not better to wipe out the Senior? The socialist government, of course, because what are the PP swell for weeks in the CCAA they govern. Look
ladies and gentlemen, I will provide only one fact: over 79% of senior management at the moment are government employees. They are government workers who in any case continue to work on the General State Administration. Therefore, take, take, we could only take in any case less than 25%. Is that your proposal? Can we create a few more unemployed?
The crisis is not dealt with simplistic proposals because of their complexity need answers too complex not demagogic.
Let us be serious. Some important information you should know:
. When we modify the decree to the government that sets the number of advisers for the Ministry. What we reduced from 7 to 5 (read the Royal Decree 562/2004).
. We reduced corporate spending on advertising, passing a law on the subject.
. In 2009 and 2010 has been freezing of salaries of senior management.
. In 2009, there were two deep cuts in current expenditure with a value of 1000 and 1500 million respectively.
. There has been shock mitigation measures against the economic crisis as the Local Investment Fund, grants industrial sectors ... but also structural reforms proposed draft (by the way, not supported by the PP, as the 3 laws transposing the services directive or the law of the land, or the law of sustainable economy).
In this direction the government has filed an Immediate Action Plan for 2010 is much more ambitious, comprehensive and rational that the popular initiative (or should I say populist?). It is requested that the strategy followed for the AGE austerity extends to all public authorities (Autonomous Communities and Local). Only to the extent that each take responsibility, avoid further deterioration of the economy. In our proposal urges the Government to initiate, immediately, a process of rebalancing public accounts including:
a) a restructuring of public expenditure in the General State Administration and the public sector enterprise, involving a thorough review of the spending programs, and specifically a reduction in staff costs and current expenditure,
b) the adequacy of the structure and organization of the Central Government to the principles of efficiency and economy in expenditure and the division of competencies defined in Title VIII of the Constitution and the Statute of Autonomy, deleting, consolidating or restructure the bodies necessary
c) the adoption of urgent measures for this year involving a reduction of initially budgeted expenditure equivalent to 0.5% of GDP,
By contrast, in the CCAA in governing the PP seems to care little about the increased spending. To give an example, in the Madrid budgeted expenditures for senior has increased by 46% and spending on advertising and propaganda or 130% of 117 Valencia Senior officials with the President has gone Lerma 238 (103% more), not to mention the Diputación de Ourense or Castelló ...
But the contradictions
PP not end at the demagogic figure of 25%, or do the opposite here that rule, but the most contradictory of his speech is patriotic pose as if they only think about power.
mouth are filled in Spain but what is Spain for you? A flag? It seems so. Well, look, to me Spain is the Prime Minister, his government, bureaucratic body, the CCAA, the general government, public servants ... its institutional framework, in short. No need to have read Max Weber, to raise awareness of the importance of institutions and structures that allow and sustain a democratic state.
Defense PP practicing a minimal state and a weak public sector is outmoded, because a country is built and grown to an administration and strong institutions, respected by all political forces, effective and efficient serving the public (I think in the foreign service in other countries of the European Unio, for example, in Britain there are 14,900 people or 16,000 in France ... we are far from achieving these figures.)
economic crisis in the PP works to try to build an institutional crisis of opposition politics ... who see not going beyond that, whether you think normal, and so shamelessly declare: we shout from the stands get out! (As if democratic legitimacy is not with them) or tell us with a brazen'm here to try to topple the government, to criticize everything, to put the Government and the parliamentary group that supports the government ... well, things look tough, no . The opposition may be for other things, I assure you. It all depends on the design of the departing, his is wrong, as well as irresponsible and harmful to the country.
Citizens expect us all a joint effort, not confrontation, and less, pantomimes parliamentary and that we must suffer each week.
