Politicians and corruption goes hand 🤚 n hand ! Let the show begin
The former Irish PM resigned a few weeks ago for no apparent reason except that he had made a very powerful pro-Palestinian statement in the US a couple of days earlier. Pedro Sanchez too, with a sizable amount of public support, has been threatening the EU to go it alone and recognize the Palestinian state, already reconized by more than 140 countries. Is he going to meet the same fate? Is it already set in stone? 🤨🤔 ...
Nothing to do with Palestinians.. he resigned because he realised he wasn't the right person for the job anymore after losing two referendum..

I learn a lot of English here, not just the language
@@joseantoniodavila2752I should also listen to a Spanish channel and it might help my Spanish. I’ll ask Stuart if he knows of one that doesn’t proceed at 100 km an hour so I have a chance of understanding it!
Very interesting. If he knows trouble is coming from scandal it's probably best for him to step down. I know the contention of his presidency, but there's already been so much political instability, not sure another year of elections and things being up in the air is the best decision. However, seems it would be good thing to see him go.
Sorry, I missed your live stream tonight mate 🙄 I did replay, yeah all the politicians are slippery characters everywhere imho, but the same question applies..... Just who can step up and be a people's favourite and lead a country the right way Viva España 🇪🇦🤔🤔🤔 best regards Marco 😉👊 back in 🇪🇦 again soon...
Stu,
In the US if I pay someone 100k, with ss Medicare,, workers comp medical and unemployment insurance cost me about 140k.
After taxes and approc 13% ss and Medicare, plus up to 26% tax they take home less than 70k. And that is less if they live in a state with income tax. I don't know Spanish tax rates but its probably similar.
There are lots of empty and abandoned homes. As far as I know , the main reason is family inheritance disputes. Some prefer to see them crumble rather than a relative getting any money even if that means they loose out too. I know. Make what you will out of it
What's wrong with tracksuits?I wear them and i'm 53!!!
Just to get an idea, how much approximately would it sell for today? Most people live in units in Spain, don't they?
Hello from Rob and Jane in Pedralba
If PM Sanchez steps down?Who takes control?When?
Hi Stu, as a former squaddie I can tell that regular soldiers do not want reluctant recruits drafted into the armed forces. They would be an absolute nightmare!
One volunteer is worth 10 pressed men.
If the rules was different in Spain about working then change the rules so the youngsters can work in the tourists parts then there'll have ajob
Hi stu and guests. Lovely sunset, wish i was looking at that one. Squatters, you said the government helps the squatting family, by paying their rent? 28% unemployment and foreigners struggle to find jobs that a spaniard could take, it seems if that the jobs should be filled by whoever unless i’m wrong.
As Sir Humphrey Appleby said to the PM, "Do you want a crowd of trained killers on the streets"?
Book elsewhere till SPAIN changes its attitude towards uk citizens. We spend good money on holiday 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
Housing is out of reach for low earners in most countries, that is partly because many have no skills, no desire to make your own way, substance abuse and poor choices. Dropping out of school, choosing personal freedom over employment etc., etc., Canada has the same issues. In terms of employing people, it is always going to cost you money to hire and who would want to live in a country where you could just drop employees without any regard for them? The big companies pay too but, they have more options for writing it off, different ballgame! I think that every country has people who think they are suffering more than anywhere else, we all have issues.
I am a software engineer earning 2600 euros that is high salary in Spain, unable to buy a house in my city, a room is 900 euros, food 200 and car etc etc, medical insurance. I can rent, but i will never be able to buy because for that i need to put down 20% of the mortgage to buy a middle class home of 200k. So no, Spain is the country with mos degrees and masters for 100k people. Problem is foreingers buying houses and rising prices, estate not building public housing and limiting private companies, limiting the building licenses. The rest is the market.
So you can aslo understand 40% of the country is in risk of poverty, 90% of the mortages are for foreigners, 30k inmigrants that we need to relocate after coming in just 3 months. Spain is a shitshow, plus all the corruption related to the wife of the PM.
I saw this news in the US
Nice greets from Meloneras
Take it from a politically disgruntled brit, when it comes to PM 's be careful what you wish for, lomond is pronounced low as in the opposite of high
Turnover is expensive no matter where. It’s expensive to train, manage, fire and go through the process all over again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I agree with the suggestion that Spain re-introduce cumpulsory military service for males and females.... . These recruits could be used for more than just purely military purposes, such as envronmental protection, assisting in fire fighting and flood control, crowd control, etc
'' could be '' send your own son in first.
@@grietjehuggan spending a year in military service would be very usefu for many 18-19 year olds and I would not support conscription if it was only for males, it MUST include BOTH genders. Certianly much better tha sitting around unemployed
I still want to say we are stunned that Spanish people don't want us to holiday there or rent property. We have holidayed up and down Spain for years and Majorca. I hope they should re think this.
@AngelShona1 It’s not that Spaniards don’t want tourism, it is that in some areas it is so out of control (for example, too many rentals are being converted into airbnbs and many are ilegal) that locals are struggling to find housing. It isn’t just an Spanish issue, Venice in Italy is planning to limit the entrance and charge a fee. I guess, after Covid, we are traveling more than we did before.
Angel we cannot buy a house, we are moving to the center of Spain, im a young lad earning a "high" salary, I am a software engineer. Not unable to buy, almost unable to rent, option 1 renting a room for 900 euros in Valencia plus then food 200 euros and the rest of things unable to save money, or option 2 renting out of town in a fucking dead village for 600 euros. Is unestable, we cannot deal with this shit anymore. People are just tired. And all we see is Brits, Germans, Dutch buying 300k cash, houses they use 2 months in a year and braging about it, and the sun and the tapas, while we are just fucking surviving. 40% of Spain is in risk of poverty.
@@moiraty5338 Thanks for understanding our sitiation, some people are just living in their own little buble...
Stewart you are wrong about the cost to employ someone here in Spain. I was recently chatting to the boss of our community maintenance company who showed me the payslip and costs for him to employ a gardener to our community, the gardener gets 1300€ a month yet it’s costing him a total of around 2300€ more or less per month! And you have to take into account substitute staff when that persons on holiday etc. This is just another example of how anti business or anti entrepreneurial Spain is which probably leads to that massive unemployment figure!
As Spaniard with 40k salary my company pays 55k for me xd
He's getting out because no tourists that will mean the residents will have to pay more to live there 38% of the income comes from the tourists if no tourists they have to find that money from the people that live there not only a lot will be out of a job so you'll have to support them to and the migrants that are coming to Spain often so the cost of living will go up a lot
Some of us don’t want PM Sanchez to resign. Be careful what you wish for.
Have to ask Stu, what is an Anzac biscuit?
"Chinese origin", give me a break.
No news is good news 🌎🌏🌍😂
Hola Stuart, I always miss your livestreams, but watching back today I had so many thoughts. The first being that we had a fantastic lunch in Toledo a while ago, but had to pay cash as they didn't accept debit cards. Don't remember if we got any €2 in the change. Not that I would remember, since I was rather puffed after climbing all of those steps. Secondly, our taoiseach here in Ireland stood down suddenly a few weeks ago and we are all waiting for the real reason. He too was just worn out from the toll on his personal life. And lastly, I read today, in the Irish press that uk passport holders have to prove on entry to Spain where they are staying or face paying an €8000 fine. Is there any truth to this, do you know? Have just joined your channel and am obviously trying to get my monies worth😂
Lol is it worth it 😂😂😂
Twenty years ago the Turks had superior fake euro coin technology than the Chinese have now. The Turkish lira coin which valued as the Afghan peso worked the same as the euro coin in vending machines. I guess It's already fixed.
Stu he is correct 1800 x 40% = 7,200 total 25,200 😮
Yes. But the worker doesn’t end up with 12k after tax if you pay them 25k gross.
Got to give it to the Chinese. The are industrious. 😃
The best copy cats in the world! 🤣
First Vadrakar now Sanchez 🤔are the young bucks about to be exposed ,dirty rotten scoundrels
Already indicting him in the court of public opinion.
He is so crooked, he could hide behind a spiral staircase.
I live in Spain and enjoy your commentary but please stop with the click bait sensational titles - it only serves to scare people
You have quoted some posters that you don't believe. I think that you are in danger of losing your credibility. I know you make it quite clear that you don't believe some of those claims, but that is not good enough. I want opinions that you believe are at least true, and then you gain a name for good advice
Stu is pretty consistent in saying to decide things for yourself, and covers things like news or statements as they are said, simply relaying them and remaining overall pretty neutral. If you require being pandered to, you've lost your own credibility to discern and decide things for yourself. Now go self reflect if this is all worth it like Mr. Sanchez.
If Stu quoted only what he believed you'd accuse him of bias and propaganda..I think he is very ɓalanced..
@@subcitizen2012 I don't understand why Stu repeats facts that he then tells us he does does not believe
