Little help, many hurdles

I leave you with the latest article published in the Gazette on 4 June.

The economic situation in Spain today has been the most debated topic among politicians in the last regional elections. Possible solutions to the crisis in a country with 20% of unemployed seem few and less action as "not effective" as those proposed daily. Our country today has three million self-employed, although in the last three years have been low 375,000. It is clear that the crisis has taken its toll on them, or greater extent than other companies. But the most outrageous is that the Administration is determined to bring them to trip whenever they try to head out of the mud. The obstacles that freelancers and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are now to develop and maintain their work are such that it is difficult to conceive how they may continue their activity.

The drop in sales due to lower consumption and lack of funding from banks are two of the serious problems faced by independent daily. But if we add the delinquency rate in Spain, we are at the forefront among the countries of Europe, where four in 10 take at least six months to collect the bills paid and where he is the worst public administration, 158 days on average, do not be too ready to believe the implications for a freelancer. It is difficult to understand how the authorities in charge are so fast and so slow to pay and a collective that complies with the law for the development of their business. Also, I'm sure in a few months will add to the serious situation we are facing the proliferation of the economy.

A country with unemployment soaring and no possible access to financing by SMEs can hardly autonomous and create jobs. You can not even ordered the Administration to support this group. Let him. One can only say do not help, nor disturbed.
