Y al final llego Paco con las rebajas. Despues de tanto cachondeo durante
el 92, tanto despilfarro inutil en la olimpica Barcelona, la exponencial
Sevilla, el demencial AVE....

Tenemos a la clase politica mas canalla del Universo.

Pobres de aquellos que tenemos que volver a Espa#a en el 93!

Aqui van un par de articulos "robados" hoy de clari.news.europe.


De todas las historias de la Historia,
la historia mas triste es la de Espa#a,
porque siempre termina mal. (Gil de Biedma)

        MADRID, Spain (UPI) -- Government ministers told Parliament Tuesday
that Spain will close more embassies in 1993 because of public-spending
cuts.
        Embassies will be closed in Africa as will consulates in France,
Germany and Holland, Under-Secretary of State Maximo Cajal told
Parliament.
        There were doubts about when proposed embassies in Croatia,
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan would be opened, he said.
        Spain will also delay payments to major internatinal organizations,
including the United Nations. This year Spain has run up a $20 million
debt with the U.N. and other organizations which will grow to $75
million in 1993.
        The country hopes to be appointed to one of the non-permanent
positions on the U.N. Security Council this month.
        Spain's socialist government has had to bring down its estimates for
growth and institute public spending cuts this year as the country
stumbles into recession.
        Earlier this year embassies were told to freeze spending on cultural
events.
        But the secretary of state for international cooperation and
Iberoamerica, Inocencia Arias, said the government intends to keep its
promise to triple foreign aid over the next ten years.





        MADRID (UPI) -- Spain's public sector industries will cut more than
20,000 jobs over the next four years, according to the president of
state holding company Instituto Nacional de Industria (INI) Javier
Salas.
        Salas told a late Wednesday session of Spain's parliament, the
Cortes, the job losses will include 6,000 miners and large numbers of
workers in the defense, steel and shipbuilding industries.
        He was referring only to companies in INI which controls most, but
not all, public industries.
        The job cuts will hit 14 percent of the group's work force. The cuts
will affect will hit hardest at the Iberia airlines group, naval
shipbuilder Bazan, arms and munitions company Santa Barbara and civil
shipbuilder Astilleros Espanoles. In the latter two cases, factories and
at least one shipyard may be closed.
        INI will lose about $1.4 billion in 1993 of which $800 million will
be paid directly from state funds, Salas said.
        In the same parliamentary debate, the head of the national railway
company RENFE, Merce Sala, predicted 1993 losses of $3 billion of which
the state would pay $2.35 billion.
        The announcements came as the European Commisioner for Competition
Leon Brittan demanded Spain sack an extra 800 steel workers more than
the 9,000 proposed in a restructuring plan presented to the commision
earlier this year.
        In Brussels, Spain's Industry Minister Claudio Aranzadi called
Brittan's proposal ``unacceptable to the Spanish government.''
        Steelworkers from the two northern cities of Oviedo and Bilbao are
marching to Madrid to protest the government plans. The two marches are
due in the capital in two weeks.
