Una vida Holandesa en Mallorca

This is the first time in my life that I am officially on strike. Okay, I am working (who cares if I work or not? well me when that paper does not get finished!) but anyway I signed up for the official strike. The Spanish government decided it was easier to lower the salary of it governmental employees (ambtenaren and contracts) then raise taxes on second, third or fourth houses, cars, or high (commercial) salaries. After 6 years (postdoc-ing) in Spain, I still EARN LESS THAN A DUTCH PHD STUDENT 6 YEARS AGO (I am sure they even earn more at this time). And for those that say that life must be cheap here: Well NO. Only my car, and food&drinks in bars, in the supermarket it is similar and clothes (especially children´s clothes) and many other things (e.g. IKEA) are CHEAPER in Holland. It is a disgrace how low the salaries (and pensions) are in Spain. And the politicians rob the country clean, millions stolen only in the Balearics, if only they´d return that.................
So I do NOT agree with this proposed 5% LOWER income. Fuck you Spanish government. Take my day´s salary and the penalty on participating in the strike and choke on it.
