Hey, thanks for your concern, enjoying your visit to Barcelona? We hope you do but maybe you would like to know some things we have in our country nowadays, not pretty things and the reason why we are here now, and many people in other cities of Spain are doing the same, not officially as a continue of the 15th of May protests or simply something improvised. We want you to know that and bring that information to your home, you can also collaborate bringing that information sheet to your hotel or friends and not throwing it to the bin!

Did you know that… with all the money that fly away to fiscal paradises every year from our country the pensions to retired people could be raised on an 80%
… with a month of salary of Mr Rajoy (president of the PP party) a retired with 4 kids could live two years and a half
… the decontrol is that big that nobody (person or institution) knows how many politicians are drawing from the state
…a normal worker needs to demonstrate 35 years of work for getting the maximum retirement pension. A politician needs only 7.
…the retention from the salary of a politician is only the 4.5%
…the people in Spain pays the traffic fines of their politicians
…Zapatero is the only president of the EU that charges his holidays to the public budgets
…there is no information anywhere of job absenteeism in politicians (and we know they do)
…the deputies can use trains, boats and planes charging the cost to the public budget, and they have 5 MILLION€ every year for  that
…the politicians are the only that can draw two public salaries at the same time. For normal people this is banned by law
…the Spanish congress spend every year 160.000€ in Christmas presents, and 11000 public posts get presents in 2.2 MILLION €
…every Spanish owes 566€ to the banks because of the debts of the city councils
…deputies that don’t live in Madrid get also a 1823€ monthly extra pay for hosing and moving. The locals get 870€ a month out of taxes. This equals to the salary of 12 MILLION people
…since a near time ago every eurodeputie could waste 17000€ per month for contracting relatives. Most of them introduced their couples or brothers-in-law
…the politicians use official cars for private issues: the Rioja government (the smallest of our country) wasted 200000€ in extra pays in 2008, and the official cars were used during 870000 kilometers (crossing Spain from west to east 4 and a half times).
…a politician from any autonomic community will get 45000€ per year when retired. A normal person can’t get more than 32000€ by law
…there’s no legal limit for representation eatings (lunch, dinner…) for a Spanish politician
…only the 33% of the Spanish politicians dedicates exclusively to the politic job. The most of them get salaries from private corporations, foundations and so on. There are deputies that have 12 different salaries.
…the corruption map of Spain has 177 points involving more than 700 MILLION €
…every parliamentary of autonomic, regional or even local city councils fixes its own salary. There are mayors of 900 people population cities that get more than 4000€ per month. The Marbella mayor was getting more than Zapatero: 84000€ per year in a city budgets that were supposed to be in failure
…we had a labor reformation the last September that reduced the worker’s rights and was supposed to solve the rising unemployment. Before the reformation there were 4.5 MILLION people unemployed (20%), and now we have 4.9 MILLION people (near 22%)
…Spain is one of the countries with more temporal contracts: the 30% of the current contracts are temporal, when the temporality average in Europe is only of the 17%
…the electoral law in Spain benefits the two most representative parties: every deputy costs around 77000 votes for PP and PSOE, and costs 900000 votes for IU party and obviously, they are the only ones that can change that but not well-disposed to do nothing
…the members of the two more representative parties in Spain wasted 66 MILLION€ in the general 2008 elections; 44 MILLIONS were given by banks, banks that evicted 66000 families because of liquidity lack and the parties owe 144 MILLION€ to those banks
…the most of the jobs you find in your life are because you know somebody or get recommended by somebody, languages or degrees are something secondary if you know (or your parents know) your future employer
…every senator has 1.7 MILLION€ per year in phone wastes
… the PP has refused many times opening the communal graves of the Spanish civil war, and has refused retiring Franquist symbols in many cities
… the PP party was founded by an ex-minister of Franco and is an evolution of Alianza Popular, composed by falangists ministers (a fascist party) and franco’s ministers
…black economy is almost the 20% of the total production of our country
…there are 3000 communal graves with 30000 republican unknown people in them all over the country
…the only person condemned in 40 years for something involving Franco’s dictatorship… is the judge that tried to investigate the crimes and open the graves, Baltasar Garzón. Now is working in the Haya tribunal for the human rights.
…Spain is the European country with more 500€ notes, the 25% of the 500€ notes are in our country
…80000 MILLION € are circulating in currency in Spain, almost 50000 MILLION are in 500€ notes, and I’ve seen only 3 or 4 of them in 10 years
…and there’s only a little example of what is happening now and why we are here. People are getting tired of lies, manipulation, and corruption. A new kind of politics is possible!!!!
