Civil servants salary cuts

A 26% reduction (12% plus 14% of extended working time) over a EUR 2,000 gross salary (with further 10% for pension scheme, 2.5% for medical care and 23% for income tax deductions) is not acceptable in a democratic country. The same country that states that agreements are to be fulfilled. But for sure only some of them.

For sure public services, such as security, education and medical care, will get worst and worst. And everyone needs them, one way or the other.

Friends & football

Nice food, good friends and a football match are awaiting for me this Sunday.

13/01: and we won! And outplayed FCP, which is always good for the team and supporters moral!

Just one pink line showing and I feel such a relief. However, a tiny part of me was expecting doctors to be proven wrong.

Storage room and car thefts in two consecutive days lead to a loss of around €4,000...the worst of it all is the authorities response...or lack of it. I know they are understaffed, but not reacting is not an option.
