It is the theme of the day, Carolina Bescansa He has planted today in the Congress of Deputies with his baby and has given to speak in all social circles, both for good and for bad, for being a gesture, an act, unusual, available to few mothers, and curious if we consider that in the Congress of Deputies there is a nursery.
He PP spokesman in the Congress of DeputiesRafael Hernando has been asked about that fact and has said, as we read in Te Interesa, that the deputy of Podemos should have used the nursery because "it is good for everyone." What do you think? Should the deputy who went to the congress with her baby have used the nursery as the PP spokesperson suggests?
They are lucky to have a nursery at the job
According to Hernando, Carolina Bescansa I should have used the daycare service because for them it is fortunate to have "the possibility of enjoying a daycare at their workplace." In addition, it would have been an act that would have shown "that there is normalcy and that all people act in the same way."
And he is right, they are privileged to have a nursery in the workplace, which almost nobody has, but they are even more if they can stand in their workplace without anyone telling them they can't do their job with their baby in their arms.
Because if Bescansa can do it, any woman deputy and any man deputy can go with her baby to the Congress of Deputies, and that is something that very few workers (to say almost none) can do today.
The real reconciliation is to be able to choose between options
For years we have been fighting for a better work and family conciliation, and many people have criticized this deputy and mother today for not considering that going to work with her baby is to reconcile. Well, if that is not to reconcile, they will tell me what it is. Well, if I already say that, at least as I see it: to reconcile is to be able to choose between several options. It is very good that there is a nursery, but if I can have my baby in my arms and perform my duties without problems, I prefer it. And if I can't perform my duties correctly and I choose not to take the baby to work then yes, please, have a daycare nearby.
Ideally, a great conciliation would be that maternal and paternal casualties be extended, that they be greater. Having a serious birth problem, it would not be bad to help families so they could spend more time with babies, which is a shame to have to leave your child when he is only 16 weeks old. But of course, this requires money, and in the Social Security coffers, what should be more right now are cobwebs. The Nordic countries have impressive casualties, but there people pay a lot more taxes than us and, more importantly, there people pay their taxes (and they don't say such absurd things as "Treasury we are all" except a few privileged ones who are allowed to commit crimes without being prosecuted for it).
So putting ourselves in possible choices, ordering them according to my criteria from best to worst, when you have a baby, the best reconciliation would be:
- To have an extensive casualty to be able to breastfeed and / or raise your child for several months, even more than six.
- Power take your child to work if the mother or father wishes and does not hinder the work to be done (or if it hinders you from being able to reduce the workload, if the type of function you carry out allows it and the desire is to take the baby with you).
- Can do working hours without loss in salary to spend more time with the baby, and have a daycare at work (or near work, at no cost).
- To have at work a nursery, or nearby, at no cost.
- What we have now: a low derision, the possibility of catching a reduction of the day charging less and nurseries in which, whether public or private, you have to pay.
So yes, perhaps if Bescansa had used the nursery would have shown normality and that it does the same as the others, but then nothing would change. Having a daycare center and not using it is a way of telling the government, politicians and society that The first thing is babies, motherhood and the choice of each person to choose, and the rest comes later.
