The clouds of cutbacks are increasingly announcing storms in Spain. These are the household tasks to be carried out in 2016 in the language of the European Union. When the Spanish economy “is overcoming the crisis” or “is the economy that grows the most in the EU”, as the PP has so often pointed out.

The truth is that, in order to help the election results of the pp, the warnings of the gentlemen of the Eurozone, whatever the government, come after the votes to make Spain clear on their situation. Pello Zubiria told us last week (11-1-2016) on the ARGIA website that €12 billion will be cut by 2016; a week later, Enric Juliana told us in his La Vanguardia chronicle that the budget amounts to €10 billion. Exploring the economic lines, this information is becoming more and more numerous.

When consumer confidence encourages the economy, we will have to see what the black cloud announces in the sky. The Salmon Blog, for example, entrepreneurs tell us they make the brow worse. According to the National Institute of Statistics, the business trust survey shows the worst results of the last three years for 2016. When this class is wrong, it's because it's not winning enough. So how can we be more profitable? Over the past eight years the citizen has learned more than ever how capital understands the problem: more labour reform, more flexibility and more precariousness. The President of the European Central Bank (ECB), Mario Draghi, asked in 2015 more than once for a labour reform for Spain, which would be the fourth, the first of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and the other two of pp.

SPAIN'S PUBLIC DEBT is increasingly being discussed. By 2015, the debt would amount to EUR 1 trillion, which would amount to 99.8% of GDP. The blog “Salmon Versus Current”, for example, offers very interesting data and analysis on the evolution of Spanish debt in recent years: In 2016, Spain will have to refinance a debt of over 200 billion euros and if interest increases or the “markets” lose confidence, as in 2012, the risk premium can dance the state’s finances.

The main pillars of the PP and the system try to socialize that the debt is controlled, but with those figures today there is no control, or rather, those numbers tell you that you are under the control of the “markets”. After years of bubbles, Spain’s private debt was severe at the beginning of the crisis and the general debt has become sharper: At the end of 2014, the total amount of debt amounted to EUR 4.49 billion. From the point of view of debt, the situation has worsened and less internal or external instability can have serious consequences for such an economy.

As government formation in Spain progresses, there is increasing evidence of the real situation of the economy through stability and austerity brunettes. For the European Union, PP-PSOE is the most appropriate formula for dealing with the situation and is starting to press in that direction. After all, it is a formula similar to that of other EU states or Germany, the most powerful antidote to any real change.

The elections are also there, they knock at the door, but in the eyes of the markets these things can get worse, because what can be strengthened the most is Podemos itself. In this hypothesis, Mariano Rajoy's trajectory is probably the one that has come to an end. For the time being, however, pp has not announced that he cannot form government in the Parliament of Navarre. If so, then it will be the turn of the PSOE, which has announced that it will present its proposal. Few trust the character of Pedro Sánchez and his own forces within the party. In this sense, it seems quite calm that from Andalusia the hands moving the strands of the PSOE move.

There are no impossibilities in politics and the road to Portugal is also open to Spain, but with very little chance of doing so. Among many others, Ibex 35 made it clear: get the PP-PSOE agreement. Now, at least, is the time for fear, so that Spain does not move in the wrong direction.
