The wildcat strike by air traffic controllers has met with the Constitution and highlighted the privileges of a professional group of just 1,500 workers, who wished to jeopardize a country were it not for government intervention by invoking the "state of alert" and the public interest. Air traffic controllers have garnered a host of privileges at the expense of the citizens you have to put an end to a wider range of professionals if you do not want to repeat the same story.
The alarm has also opened the necessary debate over the privileges of a few compared to other citizens in times of austerity and efficiency required of the public.
should remember that the economic crisis has erupted for a simple reason is that we have lived beyond our means, in government, our businesses and families here in Europe and the U.S.. Another collateral damage is that in good times "artificial" has been exploited by those who are fueled by public money to reward self overestimating their services to society to wages, pensions and benefits they situations of injustice and unsustainable for the future.
Times have changed and adjust recipes raining all over Europe demonstrate the need to end the privileges of a tax expense of everyone and not just for drivers, also especially in senior positions public administration and bureaucracy generated.
While drivers try to maintain their privileges with wildcat strikes, the senior did not even open the necessary debate on many comparative grievances that must be corrected. At the moment, ordinary citizens have suffered the freezing of higher pensions and to even cut the salaries of civil servants. Many of the investments infrastructure have been deferred to future years while items in support of motherhood for a child or in the prefaces of unemployment will disappear with the new year. To cut labor reform severance of new contracts while the agreements may be a dead letter if the accounts do not add business or simply point to a possibility of the red. There are few sacrifices are required of citizens who have survived the tsunami stands at 20 million unemployed in Europe, which certainly gives them back without merit to date a single summit of Heads of State in the third year of the financial crisis ... Even
however, few doubt that it is necessary to tighten belt, you have to be united with our loved ones most affected by the crisis, even as the country must act to defend the welfare state and the rights of both cost achieved in our health or education for our children.
However, much sacrifice of the citizens must have a clear counterpart in the abolition of all privileges that many have been simmering at the expense of public money from the drivers to the last of the ministers or have gotten.
Today a farmer with forty years of work from sun to sun charges a low average pension of 600 euros per month, or 886.40 euros on average in English pensioners compared with more than 100,000 euros year is recorded in your checking account each year a popular former regional president, and not alone. In addition, a corporate senior minister, senator, congressman, secretary of state ... may come to perceive two or even three salaries of the Public Treasury and even simultaneous pension when you retire.
order to charge 100% of the pension every citizen must contribute at least 35 years when a minister or deputy will earn enough for seven years to obtain the maximum pension, and that no matter how clever they are creating is unsustainable, unjust and unconstitutional if you ask me.
Politicians must be seen as one more worker, well-paid but with the same rights and duties as other citizens are those who pay them. That is why the approval of the pension reform scheduled for January 28 should be the first step to end the list of grievances, consider the sustainability of the system and the removal of those privileges granted on behalf mourning citizens unjustified and unsustainable benefits in the future. Whether to delay the retirement age or increase the years of contributions, the Government and the opposition must be the first to lead by example if they maintain their proposal to raise in two years, from 65 to 67 and giving up the seven years that they right to a pension. Sustainability of the system
public should be based on the criteria of equality of all citizens before the law, in the distribution of sacrifice and letting the citizens' money be wasted continue as usual. And surprise, as button shows that Spain is the sixth country in the world with the highest number of official cars, a total of 35,000, used by ministers, presidents, congressmen, mayors and councilors to every driver and bodyguard in the city of Valencia , to cite one example.
no doubt that the state of emergency declared this weekend, has prevented the collapse of our airports and the certainty that our air space can not be in the hands of a handful of professionals who can jeopardize a country to maintain privileges. But it is also necessary to open a debate quiet for so many privileges to be reviewed and those who perform public duties should be understood that a service to citizens but not to gain advantage over their constituents. It is necessary and urgent that every dollar of our taxes are spent with transparency and efficiency in meeting the needs of citizens and no doubt that this will get sufficient resources needed to support strongly the production system and our women and men in the field.
