Playing with our future

Two of the main pillars of our society are education and health, and just in them investment is not increasing. This means the State is not betting on their future.

However, we are suffering the waste that a second election means. If they are not even able to agree on reducing the expense on ballots, how will they manage to make more important decisions?

I am 16, but this does not prevent me from understanding this situation, which all that produces in all of us is disappointment and lack of motivation. What sense will our effort make when, further on, nobody pays attention to our concerns for being the age we are?

We are trapped at a point in which we are forced to make decisions about our future, that means that they consider us mature enough, but on the other hand, we are not considered to be mature enough to give our opinion about who we should be governed by. (article published in El Mundo).

Spanish Political Mess

Last 20th December 2015, Spain celebrated the first political election with Felipe VI as king of the country. Everyone was so interested in the results as the country has suffered one of the worst recessions in its history. The government was led by Partido Popular, with its president, Mariano Rajoy, the current president of the country.

But he was sure those elections were going to be so hard to get as the population has a bad opinion on its political party, complaining about all the money they stole, all the pain they produced over people and more and more things. Other political candidates were:

• PSOE, the greatest rivals of PP, with its president, Pedro Sánchez.
• Ciudadanos, with Albert Rivera.
• Podemos, a new party on Spanish political scene, with Pablo Iglesias.

Everyone knew there was going to be a president but eventually, political parties didn't come to an agreement as the results weren't in favour of any of them. Since then, they have spoken several times about building a new government but reaching no conclusion. Elections will have to be repeated to see who the "owner" of the Spanish goverment is. Everything started as Andy Bordón explained in his post, you can see it pressing this link: POLITICAL SECTION

Andalusia political scene, a new trend?

Last 22nd March the regional election to the Junta de Andalucia was held.  They are believed to depict a new trend in  the results of the national election that will be held next November. But first, the involved political forces will have to face another electoral appointment in the local election next May.
The picture of the Andalusian government hasn't changed too much except for the new parties that have just come into scene. The party led by Susana Díaz, the eventual winner, will however have to make a great effort to consolidate a stable government.
