an official letter from Granada to Carlos Herrera Onda Cero
Dear Carlos.
My reason to listen every morning no others have been pleased to hear an unbiased, consistent and objective ........ essential qualities in the profession of journalist, but in few English media, and now I think neither, it's easy to find. I enjoyed it too much of your great skills as a communicator and frankly, I enjoyed it quite hear you.
And so I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I had to do to end your more human side from the negative side. View as fairness, consistency and objectivity have been leaving your opinions as the subject of the economic crisis progresses. I have endured day after day to see that, first, dropping hints to that "tuck hand" (sorry, I can not think right now a more correct to say) once a public employee. And then the last few days, check the satisfaction that causes you that the Government has finally taken this step, among other, cut public spending.
would like to make an aside here. It seems that many people think only in the Expenses incurred by your (ours as well, do not forget), pockets. You forget and you laugh at the "PRODUCTION" public that is the reason for this expense. Is that neither you think about it. I'm not talking to senior positions finger and damaged more than fix that will not go, do not hesitate, but the "Curritos" than any company we work Our thirty-seven and half hours a week, often in conditions more complicated because we do not have sufficient means to live up to what we are responsible. Following public angry and impatient, caring and training your children, being responsible for the health of patients who have to do in record time, maintaining and cleaning the areas in which you live, protecting your security .... Finally .... Same
you did not need these services because they can afford private means: managers, schools, clinics, medical, security, etc. ...., but I assure you that much of the population, among whom I meet, the need because our salary, we have privileged, do not give more. Of those who do not, or I speak.
Anyway, I heard you defend this action and ... well, is your opinion as that of many people. Unjust, indicative of a total ignorance of, our work (how are you going to know if, as I said, just have to use it?) And, for me, sorry. It is my work, you speak of. That you think should be paid less. Underestimate the final.
But anyway, I continued listening to yet because you did not do more than show that, an opinion. But today I'm going to quit. Today I found that you've become partial, inconsistent and subjective. And I do not hear it interesting.
Now that the government has stopped looking at me and looks at you, I understand it going among the lucky people who earn more than 80,000 euros a year, you feel angry. See the "buts" to leave citizens with less money to spend and find that this measure is unfair and unhelpful, even worse, it can be devastating to markets.
Ya. What markets? "For large companies like Loewe? Does the Mercedes house? Why the Alfonso XIII hotel? Why ZalacaĆn or restaurants like La Broche? I assure you that you earn more than eighty thousand euros per year (declared) not going, by the rise of a point or two more in income tax to stop spending on them. Nor will notice, I assure you. That market is not going to be resentful. And if not you can, which I doubt, because he will still turn to non-reporting earning fortunes. Always has been. These large companies, they never fail their customers.
The neighborhood shops, the bar underneath the house, normalitos restaurants, two hotels and three stars, the lower ranges of vehicles .... this market is that we can access most of the English and many others live, as it is not frequented by people earning over 80,000 euros per year, as it does is affected.
I tend to think, for the part that touches me, that cutting salaries of public employees, who shamelessly knowledge or defend, it's going to hurt. Yes it will hurt the pension freeze. We arrive later this month just past, so the money they take away now, we must remove our consumption in these establishments / companies. In this cut, of course, we must add the VAT hike and electricity, of which no one is free. So the mil / euros in 1500 we won the majority of us, once we implement the pay cut, as you understand a little that you consume, we will pay the mortgage / rent, food, water, light .... and little else we will be for consumption.
Carlos, everyone can bring breakfast to work from home, there is little problem. We can also put up with shoes and clothing last year, taking us home beer with our friends, they also eat at home instead of going to a restaurant from time to time and "work through" the car a little more. The problem is for the bar owner who lived to serve breakfast to the "bunch of bums" who are public employees. For the owner of a small retail clothing or footwear, sencillito restaurant, family hotel, the neighborhood supermarket, the dealer who sells used cars .... And for their employees. This market sector will have it really far more difficult for survival than that of Loewe, ZalacaĆn, the Alfonso XIII hotel or Mercedes.
And as I mentioned, in this market is when we access most of the English. No doubt at least the officials, as we call them all, and pensioners.
Look, I'll show you what I mean by solidarity, responsibility, consistency and justice.
I have no problem in tightening the belt (if this, as I doubt you can fix something), so this money can be paid unemployment benefits, social costs and reduce the deficit. To get us out of this chaotic situation in which global conditions and the shameful ineptitude of our politicians (all signs) have gotten us. I think it is absolutely necessary, fair and reasonable. But there are two aspects that I would feel more satisfied and more relaxed.
One of them is that this effort that we are required to pensioners and public employees can not escape anyone in this country. Which all contribute and lend a shoulder ALL. Wealthy and less wealthy. Public and private employees. All workers and owners of large fortunes. Do not get to shake the more you earn, which you so you will notice relatively little.
The second point I would not even consider feel uncomfortable with this cut is that once this happens, will happen as all crises, we also return all the purchasing power we had before getting it. That not only private benefits from good times to us while we are kept, even leaving the country well, in the same economic situation in times of "social emergency." That when those moments happen, we revert to the situation we had before the crisis and to all my neighbors. No more pretend.
With these two conditions will gladly give my money to help make our country will not crumble altogether. To help now It has the misfortune to be unemployed and their families. I give it with your eyes closed. In solidarity, responsibility and because I consider it fair.
But you and I know that's not going to be. That has never happened that way.
Carlos, all that is just me having to help to solve this, it is unjust that we are not all we do. Have to continue to contribute to this even though "this" has passed. Can you give me one reason not to touch a large salaries that have not been cut, to the great fortunes? "I can give to the wage increases that apply to us after the" crisis "is made on a percentage much lower than the rise in CPI in the year to touch and frozen salaries (now reduced) for God knows how many years this time?.
This is not demagoguery. Reality is plain and simple. I think objectively, fairly and consistently. How were you before you see endangers a bit of how much you have.
If you want, I can give advice about a bad time to see horror that now I can touch you, simply grit your teeth and bear it. It is the medicine we take ourselves, "officials" as you call us. Here we go, pulling "palante." Working exactly the same, with the same responsibility that when we won more. Assuming in addition the work of the colleagues I will not be replaced by the crisis.
Another point: I would not think that now you're questioning the quality of the work of professionals in medicine, education, management, research, safety ..... I would not think that the ancient image of the "official" sleeve vague, poorly trained and unhelpful, even in your mind. .... Can not be so limited. And all this, we are not all officials, I would ask that we called well if you want to generalize. We report that the exact description is: Servants. Some of us do not have the job security that is both envy and, apparently justifies everything we say or do. There are many employment contracts that also apply to them, indeed, lower salaries, and that can be fired any day.
And here I just. I know this letter not going to read into your program, because of its size and its content. No matter, I just want you to read it (it generally available, and I'll take it) and think a little, if thou wilt, as you consider this humble ex-"buff" yours. And, if possible, stop the bitterness of public works mornings, but I fear that this letter will probably have the opposite effect if you have the pride that I do not know why now I presume. It will be so pissed off and hopefully I've mistaken me.
Regards and God we caught confessed. ALL, Carlos.
Concha.
