Portuguese Is "work More For Less Money"

n Portugal, Claudia Barros wrote that things are getting worse:

Individuals filing for bankruptcy or have no money to buy food, is becoming increasingly common in Portugal. It's not just what we are used to have and can not survive on less, people have difficulty obtaining a degree and then end up working 35 hours per week for € 600 (£ 525) per month in Supermarkets .

"And why only in the public sector will have to pay taxes in the month of November? I make € 760 a month, working in the public sector, and I'm not happy about this at all. There are those who are € 5,000 per month and not influence the tax. And 'right? In addition, public transport prices rose in January, and still 15% in September, another 15% increase is planned for next January. Electricity has increased in' last month, and the food went to the tax from 19% to 23%. Things get worse before it gets better.

Sergio Abreau, and said:

Portuguese Prime Minister has just announced a more rigorous television. One item on the agenda means that the Christmas and summer bonuses for public sector workers, who earn more than € 1,000 per month in 2012, which means to cut costs by 14-12 inspections at ' years.

I am a developer of communication, and I am currently working for a Portuguese company that exports goods. These companies offer some form of hope to balance our deficit. I'm almost 29, my car in my family, I live in a rented apartment, and I have no children. My generation is simply to postpone its future. The result is that in 10-15 years there will be a sudden drop in population. The younger generation is gone abroad and the country will end up with the elderly.

Janet Sinclair Braga is not happy and feel that we are sensationalizing topic:

The Portuguese are well aware that times are bad, and they recognized that they must go through difficult times, before the economy improves. Now they should be allowed to focus on out of this mess without undue pressure from the media, whose interests in the crisis is far from the target.

Tiago Saraiva Mota, a Portuguese architect, sends a thoughtful and supports the IMF's policies are not good:

The general feeling is the crisis going on for almost a decade. During that period, wages have begun to decline, public investment in the structure of production almost stopped and the vast process of emigration of highly skilled employees started. As in other countries, the policies of euro area economies slowly damaged. The balance of the Portuguese-scale, economy and trade do not support the national currency that reflects the German mark.

One consequence of this is that people who have jobs are working harder for less money. The second is the feeling of distrust of politicians and politics, which could open the door to the right-wing populism and political movements - as is already happening in other European countries. Last year, and that scares me most is the idea that we have to adapt to conditions that are imposed by the so-called market.

This year, Portugal will pay interest 7bnin € to banks and speculators debt (EU / IMF loan is still in its grace period). This amount is the same that Portugal will pay for all public sector employees. It is prohibitive.

As can be seen in Greece, energy-saving measures are not intended to save the country. Foreign intervention in the IMF is always to save the speculators 'investments'. As long as the IMF is responsible, the guidelines focus on rates of pay. I think we can only overcome this crisis, in Portugal and Europe, by rejecting and fighting against the tax policies that are imposed.

And we're going to Spain, Alex Watkins, a British journalist working for the Costa Blanca News, wrote:

There are a lot of things here at home foreclosures (16,464 since the beginning of the year), the families of expatriates in the keys to the bank, and simply going home - mainly because of their work available to you are exhausted Because of the soaring unemployment rate here.

A generation of young Spanish people have left school for jobs in the construction boom in the property before the bottom fell out on the market, and now they have been unemployed and unskilled.

Then there is the regional administration of school programs that have been delayed for years, when students in overcrowded Portacabins a loss in the rain. One of the Near Me was built back into the ravine and really moves when the rain is heavy.

Government cuts are health care providers and regional biting threaten to terminate service if the unpaid bills dating back several years are not paid.
