Left us with the Austerity

Oddly enough, a few months ago still said Francisco Camps "Valencia is leading the economic recovery in Spain."

The double falsity was obvious: there was no recovery at all and if the Consell the then president of the Community was at the head of something was on the public debt, deficit and unemployment.

Fortunately, the Gürtel case has ended the perpetual flight forward, the continued macroeconomic data masking and increased government spending as an alibi for regional policy erratic. By carambola policy has come to Palau de la Generalitat Alberto Fabra and with it, finally, the clarity, transparency of information and financial austerity.

Now we know that for a possible economic recovery we have a long and difficult road ahead. We have to bet, for it, works like the Mediterranean corridor, with the support of Jorge Alart and Enric Morera, but in the national political scene will be passed over to others, at least during early and middle .

And we've realized suddenly that things are going for long and that most of those great events brought about by Eduardo Zaplana and Paco Camps have been ruinous-from the Terra Mitica? Gora, through the City of Light-, have not been realized, as Illusion and World Languages-City, are deficient even before it was opened - the case of Castellón airport and always beyond suspicion of profitability, have drained the coffers some public resources to other productive investments, as has happened with what was spent in the Palau de les Arts, America's Cup or Formula 1 testing.

So we are penniless and with a view increasingly difficult to obtain. Even some institutions, such as the Exhibition and Convention Centre, will engulf one another in their eagerness to compete for the same income.

Inks do not want to load too much, but until we realize our limitations and the context in which we operate will be harder to find the solution.

An example: employment. In times of higher level occupation-autonomous leaders here and in Spain, have boasted that his credit was made. And how they did it? Complete mystery, since job creation is tied to economic activity, demand for business and labor market adaptability, three variables in which regional governments have scarcely anything to scratch.

Our work is under state and, as I remember an eminent and senior economist, "still retains a stiffness from time of Franco." According to him, populist demagoguery overprotective dictatorship job security in exchange for the loss of freedom of the workers: "What our unions qualify for workers' rights are not many times more than inventions of the Franco regime, hence which have a rigid and inefficient labor market and thus increase unemployment brutally in times of crisis. "

That is, we have a long road ahead changes. And to get out of this, in Spain and in the Community, it will take effort, austerity and sacrifice. Everything else is a hoax, although demagogues of either sign ocultárnoslo try.
