Estaba pensando en nuestro \u00faltimo D\u00eda del libro (una celebraci\u00f3n que me encanta), o sobre oficios curiosos, como el de farero (hace poco conoc\u00ed a uno, y fue muy interesante), pero tras leer las noticias, me encuentro con un \u00e1nimo terrible: \u00a1el paro en Espa\u00f1a sobrepasa los 6 millones de personas!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">El porcentaje de desempleo est\u00e1 ahora en el 27%, aunque las predicciones se\u00f1alaban esta cifra para finales de este a\u00f1o. Muchos hogares en Espa\u00f1a tienen ya uno de sus miembros en el paro, algunos toda la familia, y el escenario econ\u00f3mico no muestra signos de cambio, al menos positivos. El partido conservador, el PP, nos ha advertido sobre nuevos recortes, y va a presentar una nueva bater\u00eda de reformas este viernes. Teniendo en cuenta que los rumores se\u00f1alan una nueva subida de impuestos del IVA y el Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas F\u00edsicas (aunque nuestro presidente dijo que no ser\u00e1 este el caso), la situaci\u00f3n no es nada esperanzadora. Y quiz\u00e1 la \u00faltima gota que colma el vaso hoy: hay m\u00e1s de 1600 casos judiciales por corrupci\u00f3n abiertos, muchos de ellos relacionados con nuestros pol\u00edticos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">El sistema educativo no es tan bueno como sol\u00eda (todos sabemos que nunca fue perfecto, pero los \u00faltimos cambios han sido a peor), y con una tasa de empleo juvenil ya de casi el 60%, lo que me hace preguntarme qu\u00e9 tipo de futuro hay en este pa\u00eds para la gente joven. No hay evidencia de que se vaya a crear empleo en un futuro cercano, as\u00ed que los inmigrantes est\u00e1n volviendo a casa, o march\u00e1ndose a otro pa\u00eds, y los espa\u00f1oles se est\u00e1n marchando al extranjero a buscar trabajo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Hay una canci\u00f3n que me encanta, y cuya letra dice: \u201cNo llueve eternamente\u201d.\u00a0 Habr\u00e1 que creerlo, porque realmente necesitamos ver el sol\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/juventudsinfuturo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/paro-juvenil-el-roto.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"514\" height=\"519\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Today, I was trying to choose an interesting topic to write my post and share with you. I was thinking about our last World Book Day, (a celebration I really enjoy), or some uncommon jobs, such as lighthouse-keeper (I recently met one, and it was very interesting\u2026), but after reading the news I\u00b4m in a terrible mood:\u00a0\u00a0 unemployment in Spain is above six million people!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The jobless rate is now 27%, even though predictions marked this rate for the end of this year. Most homes in Spain have one unemployed member now, some have all the family, and the economic scenario doesn\u2019t \u2018show any signs of change, at least in a positive way.\u00a0 The conservative party, the PP, has warned us about new cuts, and it is presenting a new battery of reform measures this Friday. \u00a0Taking into account that rumors point at a new tax rising in sales taxes or IVA, (Value Added Tax) and IRPF or personal income tax, (even though our president Mariano Rajoy said it won\u00b4t be the case) the situation doesn\u00b4t look quite encouraging. And maybe the last straw that breaks the camel\u00b4s back today: there are more than 1600 open proceedings for corruption, many of them involving our politicians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The educational system is not as good as it used to be (we all know it has never been perfect, but recent changes have been for worse) and youth unemployment is nearly 60% by now, what makes me wonder what kind of future there is in this country for young people. There is no evidence of starting creating jobs in a close future, so immigrants are returning home or going to a different country, and Spanish people are moving abroad looking for a job.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">There is a song I love, its lyric being: \u201cIt can\u00b4t rain all the time\u201d.\u00a0 Let believe in it, because we really need to see the sun\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hoy estaba intentando elegir alg\u00fan tema interesante para escribir mi post y compartir con vosotros.
