Spain “ bad teacher” in Europe?

España “mala maestra” en Europa?

EN | ES | IT – The intention of the Spanish government to legalize the so-called “immediate returns” of immigrants (for example, sent them back immediately where they come from) threatens the Spanish Constitution, the European legislation, international law and the Geneva Convention of the United Nations. Through a paragraph, to be introduced in the law of public security, the executive of Mariano Rajoy insists on legalizing the practice common today to deliver to Morocco, immediately and without any previous identification, immigrants who have been intercepted on the fence boundary of Ceuta and Melilla.

Social inequality in Spain

Desigualdad social in España

EN | ES | IT – (Spain) – Never the income gap in Spain has ever been so wide. The unemployment rate has taken a hard toll on any family income. In more than 1.7 million Spanish families, according to the latest Labour Force Survey, all members are unemployed. Furthermore, only 67% of those registered in employment offices are receiving State aid or provisions. As a result, Spain is the second most unequal country in the European Union after Latvia, and the member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in which inequality has grown the most in the last year.
