The middle classes and the most vulnerable, the hardest hit

Zapatero, overwhelmed by the crisis

Thus, a young man from our region to acquire a home used an average value of 100,000 euros this year will pay $ 1,000 less by way of transfer of property. "
José Gabriel Ruiz has noted that "Zapatero intends to celebrate the end of the EU Presidency with the tax increase more brutal, unfair and unsupportive of the history of Spain as the other countries while lowering taxes to resolve the crisis, Spain which is the largest number of unemployed, rising.
