Three years ago we commented on Babies and more The sad news that the government of that time, which had promised the extension of parental leave from 15 days to four weeks, made us wait a little longer, as the measure did not appear in the state budget.
Luckily, and I say it ironically as it is logical, the PP promised after winning the elections in November 2012 that in the following January, that is, in January 2013, it would launch this promise of the socialist government. They not only lied, that it is already usual and that we are so accustomed that it already seems normal, but now, when it seemed that they could approve the measure for 2014, postpone the issue for 2015.
That is, it is possible that he dies of old age and does not see it, because they have promised. If they had still doubted it, I could believe it, but once they promise the thing it gets serious and that is when the most logical thing is that when the date comes they make up an excuse and postpone it for another year, or a decade more, or who He knows if a century more.
This is what could be extracted from the recent publication of the General State Budget Law, presented last week at the Congress of Deputies. The text shows that The first intention of modifying parental leave was promised in 2007, in the Equality Law proposed by the PSOE.
Apparently it was intended to extend parental leave to almost a month in 2009, but as we said at the beginning, it did not occur and began to go long. The PP, which as it is usually said could be considered "the same dog with a different collar", took the witness, promising something that the parents have been waiting for 4 years and for what we will have to wait I do not know how many more years.
In conclusion, they care very little that parents have more or less time to be with our children and it is extracted that they care very little for the care that our children can receive, the citizens of the future, those who will have to arrive to refloat a country that is sinking painfully. And that is the problem, that those whose mission is to raise an entire country could return in the future what we have sown in the present: little or nothing.
