PIGS




Well, I prefer not to translate this "Word"…

 

Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. I’m from Spain, but, from Catalunya – some years ago more similar to the Swedish system, and nowadays with other ideas about how to build the society and the economy. I was saying in some articles several years ago when Spain was still living “the happy life”, that one day has to come when we find a big and red STOP-sign.

 

The worst is to permit the corruption and that "everybody" knew of it. And now, we have in the Spanish court some of the biggest corruption cases ever (Gurtel, Pretoria, Marbella…). But it’s too late.

 

If some people don’t have the best way or the right way of administrating the personal economy, one solution is to learn and to find the right way. But, when there are many, many cases of corruption and many thieves it’s necessary to stop the fire or all the forest will be burn down, and all to be left will be a desert.

 

In this PIGS group, we have come to this point. I can say openly because it’s the truth, concretely in Spain, and also in this amazing country; Greece, the first step of the Occidental culture. It seems that to lie to the EU has been the real music every day – we can reed it in all the newspapers.

 

The Euro is a great economical idea, but that is without thieves. Now it’s a little late for the PIGS countries to pay for the "fancy parties" that have been during this last years of irresponsibility.

 

Probably, we are living in a time when it’s necessary to use the right adjectives and to talk openly and seriously. It’s time to work –always we must work, don’t forget it, please. We also must take care of the money and of our social system (health, education, security…).

 

I’ts better to be a turtle than a rabbit…, sure, the best is to safely arrive to the harbour. No more, no less…

    Now more than any other time, I see not only an opportunity but also a must to say that Spain should let Basque people decide what they want to be. However, it’s very important to start changing the education system. Not many months ago, I stated on a subject presentation in my class that Governments should start teaching people to act in a more social way, where we all depend on others and we have to create a more equal world. Teacher’s answer: laugh. If we continue like now, PIGS will not change…

    It is right now a frightening world.. I agree with you that many countries have had ”parties” with money that is not their own. And in almost every crise it is the ”little man” who has to pay.

    It is hard to foresee a change when denial of deeper reforms seems to be the official strategy in Spain. The expenses have to be much more strongly cut now. What we really need are… more entrepreneurs!! More motivation to get out of the economic downturn. But, with the current young ”not-not” generation (”not studying, not working”) the rest will have to paddle even stronger…
