How is legislation and what rights do you have to deny you

by

Let’s explain why Your company cannot force you to join a WhatsApp group of work, even if important things have to be communicated. This is a direct and comfortable communication route between employees and bosses, although it can violate some of your personal rights. Therefore, let’s clarify you What is the situation of this type of groups As for legislation. We will tell you The rights you have and the procedures for which they can be created. The key is in consent WhatsApp has become an almost by default tool to make groups of friends or family to be able to chat at all times. And groups can also be created for the company, although here you have to take into account and respect those who They do not want to join groups or receive invitations. This can be somewhat conflictive, especially when the invitation is from your chief of work. In the Organic Law for the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights or RGPD there is no article in which this situation is talk about, although in some articles Spanish data protection agency or AEPD If certain rules are established for this issueand that serve as the basis to know how to act. According to this agency, They cannot invite you to a WhatsApp business group without your permission. When they do, all other members can see your phone number. This number is cataloged as one of your personal data according to article 4.1 of the GDPR, so getting into consent without consent violates the data protection law. This is because of the treatment given to your personal data, which is illicit in the event that you are forced to enter a WhatsApp group of your company without your consent. This is an infraction that already has caused fines to companieseven In such seemingly innocent cases as the group to organize a New Year’s Eve party. And what about teleworkors? Teleworking is a work form that entails a somewhat more different scenario, and on which there is no concrete legislation. In part, this will depend on the contract that the worker has signed, because in many occasions the company includes the obligation to give their telephone number and email to be able to contact him in urgent cases. Therefore, the one who can put you in a WhatsApp group in your company when you have such a contract formed It depends on whether it justifies that it is urgent. For practical purposes, this makes it generally Nor can they add you without your consent straight. Your boss cannot infiltrate It may also be the case that you have a WhatsApp group between employees, and that the boss gets to access illegally and use those messages in some type of active judicial process. This case has already been givenand supposed A conviction for the crime of discovery and revelation of secrets. Come on, that if your boss does not participate in a WhatsApp group, he cannot infiltrate without permission and use what you say on your against. Everything changes with a company phone Finally, you should know that all this changes if your bosses They give you a company phone. In these cases, there have already been sentences that point to that The company has control over these media Because they are yours. Come on, if you give you a phone with a number, they belong to the company and they could force you to access a WhatsApp group with this number. But here, everything also depends on the contract you have, and the company must have a policy of its technologies in which specify what the worker can or cannot do With them. Therefore, it must be something that is clear in business policies, and will depend on each of them.

Everyone has reasons to be half happy and half concerned with the new Pope

by

At 18:08 of May 8, 2025, in the fourth round of voting on the second day of the conclave, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected Pope. It is not exclusive, or any mystery. These days we have lived what is possibly the most broadcast conclave in the history of humanity and, at this point of the week, almost everyone knows everything that needs to be known about the new Vicar of Rome. In fact, everyone knows too much about Leo XIV. A series of extraordinarily well measured gestures. Today, Italian newspapers comment that Prevost He took many votes already in the first vote of the conclave. It is not something we can know for sure, but that is the explanation that his speech from the balcony was so long. He had time to think about words, gestures and emphasis. Also in the symbols. Leon XIV went out to the Plaza de San Pedro dressed in the traditional habits of the Supreme Pontiff. Something that Francisco did not do. And, in fact, he has chosen a very rich name symbolically. Everyone is talking about Leon XIII (“father” of the rich social doctrine of the Church, but also of Syllabus, the great refutation of the ‘main errors’ of the modern world); But you could talk about Leon i (whose papacy, According to Benedict XVI“It was undoubtedly one of the most important in the history of the Church”) or even Fray Leonone of the closest collaborators of San Francisco de Asís. And that has been noticed … “The decisions of Pope Leo XIV of adopting a traditional name and appearing with the traditional papal outfit – as Benedict XVI did and not Francisco – are small but encouraging signs of a man who subordinates to the papal trade and understands the importance of continuity with the past.” Those words are from Edward Fester One of the best known conservative theologians today. A few minutes later, I even praised his temperament. Burke either SarahFrancisco’s staunch enemies have also been hopeful. On the opposite side, Jesuit James Martín (one of the church members closest to the LGTB opening) He said he knew that “Pope Leo XIV is a kind, open, humble, modest, determined, worker, reliable and feet on the ground. A brilliant choice.” How is it possible? Because, even if it may not seem, the reading that the media are making of why Leon XVI has been chosen ignores the dynamics and political of the Church. The constant temptation to interpret what happens in the world according to the narrow framework of socio -political references in which we move, makes the debate about the conclave seen as primary to Pope: but without trying to understand what is happening in an international organization with thousands of problems and very complicated solutions. Things like flying old Premost tweets against Trump’s immigration policytake advantage to ask that there are women in the conclave or the widespread regrets because lTo Church doctrine about abortion is “outdated”They show that these last days have been nothing more than a huge projection exercise. In illo one unum. His pontificate’s motto is not a coincidence. In addition to his 12 years as a prior of the Augustinians (a huge order with global implementation), Prevost was known, above all, by The diplomatic feat that led to closing the agreement of the last synod of the bishops in which the most reformist groups and the most traditionalists were about to declare war. As the motto you have chosen suggest: it seems that its mission will be in tenders and heal a Catholic Church that He has been “harassed by the wolves for many years”. However, hope has a dark back. In the same way that all ecclesiastical groups have reasons to be hopeful, everyone has reasons to walk. No one knows for sure what will do or stop doing Leon XVI. As in the case of Francisco or Juan Pablo II, the choice of someone relatively unknown in Rome opens the set of play in a radical and unexpected way. And that, in an organization of the size and power of the Catholic Church that is a lot.

The European space agency begins to limit when the Soviet ship will fall. Where is it a lottery

by

Like some people, there are spacecraft that say goodbye giving the note. The Kosmos 482 Soviet Missionlaunched 53 years ago with the failed objective of reaching Venus, is about to star in one of the most unpredictable atmospheric resentments of recent times. The European Space Agency is following her live. The last prediction. According to the ESA Space Waste Officethe capsule will fall to Earth tomorrow, on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 08:16 UTC (10:12 in Spain). Although it has been reducing, the uncertainty window remains quite wide, with an error of +/- 8.61 hours. This means that the exact moment and the location can still vary (for now only latitudes above and below the 50º are discarded), but the predictions are noted as the object approaches. A capsule of the Cold War. Throwed on March 31, 1972, the Kosmos 482 ship was a twin sister of the successful Venera 8 mission, which did perch on Venus. However, a failure in the upper stage of the Molniya rocket that transported it prevented that it escaped the earth’s gravity, leaving it in an elliptical orbit with the earth all this time. What makes this event special is not only the longevity of the capsule, but the fact that it was built to survive the infernal conditions of Venus: surface temperatures of 464 ° C, pressures of 100 atmospheres and accelerations of up to 300 g. I could survive the reentry. What remains of the ship, the descent capsule of half a meter in diameter and 495 kg, was designed to support the extreme conditions of the Venusian atmosphere, so there is possibilities that it reaches intact to the surface of the earth. To survive, the impact could occur at about 240 km/h, with a kinetic energy similar to that of a 40-55 cm meteor. The big question is whether the parachute system, after 53 years and with exhausted batteries, could work. In view of telescope, the object seems to be tumbos. Prediction map on the reentry of the Soviet probe Kosmos 482. Image: that Do not panic. Taking into account that most of the planet is water, the risk of causing personal damage is “extremely remote.” And the probability of reaching a person is even lower, from 1 between 100,000 million, according to ESA. To put it in perspective, it is about 65,000 times more likely to be reached by lightning In addition, being an object that probably arrives as one piece, the risks are concentrated and therefore are lower than those created by the reentry of a rocket, which disperses multiple objects of metric size over a large area. Let’s take advantage of science. The almost spherical and smooth form of the Kosmos 482 makes it an ideal object to measure atmospheric density into very low orbits. Every time its elliptical orbit passes through perigee (the point closest to Earth), loses height due to atmospheric drag. This “accidental experiment”, which is being registered live by ESA, will provide valuable data on this type of event so far of the reentry. Perhaps a cold war ship shows us some lesson on how to reduce the problem of space garbage. Images | THAT In Xataka | There is an old Soviet probe about to fall on earth.

Motherhood solo by own choice

by

Society It doesn’t always make it easybut when reviewing the different types of family that exist in Spain (and other countries) It is increasingly common to find a profile that until not so long moved at minimum levels: that of women who raise their children alone by their own choice. People who decide to be a mother (or father) moving away from the canonical formula, without a partner, assuming the load in solitude or with support that is not that of a husband/boyfriend, but that of their own parents, brothers or friends. The data does not abound, but those that are suggest that more and more. The big question is … why? And what does it imply? Homes with a single parent. The first thing that shows the INE (and clearly) is the rise of “Monoparental households”those formed by a father or mother who raises his children alone. According to the INE, in 2020 there were in Spain 1.94 million of families with that profile, 14% more than in 2013. Although most are the result of divorces, separations or the death of a parent, there is a profile between them booming: that of single women. After growing 40% in 2020 they already added tens of thousands of homes. Is there more data? Yes. Fair a year ago the Spanish Fertility Society published An article about new family models in which he pointed out precisely the “growth” of a specific pattern: that of “single mothers by choice.” In his analysis he slides a revealing fact that he attributes to the INE: “Between 2012 and 2022 the number of single mothers by choice has increased 32.8%.” The same percentage is collected in A recent essay of Ethic In which it is specified that in 2022 there were about 12,000 births in single -parent homes, almost 3,000 more a decade earlier. “The dissolution of the link”. After a single -parent home there may be many different realities, such as a divorce, a separation, the death of one of the parents or an abandonment, but Xavier Roigé, professor of the Department of Social Anthropology of the University of Barcelona (UB) (UB) (UB) I pointed recently to the newspaper Ara That these scenarios are now “historically” new: single -parentality by choice, a phenomenon that the expert explains by “the dissolution of the link between conjugability and maternity. “ Having children and partners no longer have to be two aligned circumstances. Any woman who wants the first without the second has at their disposal (in addition to adoption) assisted reproduction. The INE returns to Provide data That, although they do not portray that reality directly, they do give clues: in 2013, single -parent households with a single mother represented 12.5% ​​of the total single -parent households with women. In 2020 that percentage had already risen to 16%, although it was still below the one represented by the widow or divorced mothers. Another indicator: the clinics. The INE is not the only one that has captured that new reality. Another valuable reference is left by fertility clinics. The data From the Spain Society of Fertility (SEF) show that in 2016 4.4% of the total in vitro fertilization cycles (IVF) corresponded to women who wanted to be solo mothers. In 2017 they already supposed 5.9%, in 2018 6.5%, in 2019 7.4%and in 2020 8%. In just four years the percentage of women who have resorted alone to IVF in Spain thus grew almost 50%. “In the consultation we find each day with more partners of women, more couples who come with children of previous relationships and of course with more women who decide to face maternity alone. This has radically changed the way of facing these treatments,” explained in 2023 The Secretary of the SEF, Elisa Gil, to Pharma Market. There are assisted reproduction clinics that ensure that Between 15 and 20% of the women who attend do so without a partner and studies that confirm that half Of the Spanish who have no children but want to be mothers, they have ever considered taking the step without a couple. Does it happen only in Spain? No. Financial Times He has just boarded this new reality in An article of eloquent title (“The rise of single -parent families by choice”) in which some interesting data on British society slides. The main one: according to the National Statistics Office in 2023 there was in the United Kingdom 3.2 million of families with a single parent, of which 85% were formed by mothers who raise their children alone. Another revealing fact is that the number of single patients undergoing fertility treatments (IVF and insemination of donors) has shot in the country in just two decades: 305 in the late 90s it has passed to 4,660 in 2022. And what about men? The INE shows that in 2020 only 18.6% From the single -parent homes they had a man in front. Its weight with respect to women is much lower, which does not mean that there are men who also seek to experience paternity alone. In 2020 Sirin Kale talked about it in The Guardian In an article in which he pointed out precisely “the rise” of that model, driven by men who resort to the adoption or reception of children without a partner or even subrogated gestation, an option that It is not allowed legally in Spain, which does not mean that They resort to foreign countries where it is contemplated. The big question: why? As is often the case with social phenomena, especially with those who are as complex and have as many nuances as fatherhood, to understand the trend well, several keys need to be handled. Who have tried to explain The solo maternity rise points to the change of mentality at the social level, parenting, couples or the family concept, in addition to another crucial factor: the improvement of labor perspectives by women and the flexibility offered by formulas such as teleworking.

Your own desktop operating system is ready

by

Huawei is beginning to close the circle. Expired his License agreement with Microsoft To use Windows (agreement that cannot be renewed by the sanctions imposed by the United States), there are two possible escape routes. The first is to start launch portable market with Linux. The second go with everyone and launch them with their own operating system. It is just what just done. Huawei Harmonyos variant has made official For PC. Zhu Dongdong, product manager, has revealed at the event Harmonyos Computer Technology and Ecosystem Communication The structure of the system and plans with the same. Harmonyos for PC is one of the most important bets for the company: it is its first real response (and 100% own) to Windows, and a Dardo to the United States. What will Harmonyos PC be. The philosophy with the PC version is exactly the same as Huawei with Harmonyos Next. An operating system created from scratch, with Harmonyos base and its own kernel, and interoperable with smartphones, phones, headphones and even electric cars that share software. They have also worked compatibility with third parties, so that devices such as printers, scanners and other peripherals are fully compatible, as with any other operating system. Its pillars. Harmonyos PC is a system focused on design, performance and safety. The design language will be consistent with the smartphone versions, using THE ARK OWN ENGINE developed by Huawei. It is an engine designed to integrate into Harmonyos Next, composed of Ark Compiler, Ark UI and Ark Graphics, all the necessary elements to build and execute its own interface. Regarding security, the system is oriented to be used with a Huawei account. It has functions to find our device, developer verification systems to guarantee the safety of apps, and even a privacy mode that deactivates camera permits, microphone and location throughout the system. Apps. If the question is what happens to apps in Harmonyos, the answer is that the PC version has more than 2,000 universal applications. In this first launch stage, Asian market -orientedthe collaboration is oriented to it. Out of China? Huawei has it complicated to get Harmonyos from his native country. The company You can’t make agreements with Microsoft or Googleso you cannot integrate your apps in App Gallery. Nothing prevents the operating system from executing the apps if the user downloads them on their own, as is the case in smartphones, but it is a plan in which they will need to offer solid alternatives to the most popular software products. The one who warns is not a traitor. Harmonyos For PC it was the inevitable consequence of Huawei plan. The company is already working on your own chips for PChas achieved the national manufacture In smartphones processors, and Harmonyos Next is drawn as a plan to stop depending on absolutely anyone. Only time will say if they manage to outsource this great plan outside of China. What is clear is that they are giving each of the necessary steps to build their alternative reality.

Ninguneada by the United States, ESA has just signed a collaboration agreement with an emerging power: India

by

It seemed that the new space race had two well -defined sides, but the last turns in NASA have left faithful members such as the European Space Agency in the lunge. Now that has turned his gaze to the East. Habemus Pactum. The European Space Agency and its counterpart from India (ISRO) just signed a joint intention statement To collaborate on flights to space. The strategy includes a first phase of cooperation in the low terrestrial orbit, and a second phase on the moon. Both agencies have pledged to work on the interoperability of their respective spacecraft, so that they can be found and attached to the low orbit. The collaboration will be extended to the training of astronauts, land simulations and parabolic flights. From the orbit down to the moon. The agreement also opens the door for Europe to play experiments on Indian Poem platforms, which take advantage of the upper stages of PSLV rockets as orbital platforms. More in the long term, it will be an opportunity for European astronauts to travel to the planned space station of India, the Bharatiya Antariksh Stationwhose completion is scheduled for 2035, with a first module in 2028. They also enter the joint robotic mission bag to the moon. India is in the small list of spatial powers that have successfully alunicized. The Chandrayan-3 mission He wore the Vikram module and Rover Pragyan to the South Lunar Pole. New alliances. The agreement, signed by the CEO of ESA, Josef Aschbacher, in New Delhi, arrives at a critical moment for European projects in space. The White House presented last week A budget proposal that would involve a cut of almost 25% for NASA. This “Tijeretazo” fully impact in programs where ESA has invested significantly: the Orion ship and the Lunar Gateway station. In A statementAschbacher said he seeks a commitment between international cooperation and improve his autonomous abilities. “The complexities and costs of space missions often exceed the capacities of a single nation,” he said. “In this context, associations have allowed us to reach great milestones that would be unimaginable alone.” In March, ESA had already signed an agreement with the Japanese Space Agency Jaxa to explore joint missions to the moon and Mars. The trend is clear: before the drift of the United States towards a more nationalist approach and focused on private commercial systems (Spacex, Blue Origin …) for its lunar and Martian ambitions, ESA is diversifying its alliances. European diplomacy. While the United States prioritizes the speed and reduction of costs through the private sector, leaving aside the traditional international collaboration models, the ESA Diplomacy strip presenting textually as a “reliable partner.” Part of that diplomacy makes a close collaboration with China unlikely, at least while NASA remains its main partner. India, with its growing spatial ambitions and future manned flights, emerges as a key strategic alternative on this new space geopolitical board.

Volkswagen has put $ 6,000 million in Rivian to grow in the United States. Tariffs are truncating their plans

by

At the end of 2024, Volkswagen confirmed that Inject almost 6,000 million dollars In Rivian. During the previous summerThe Germans announced that they invested 5,000 million dollars in the US car and electric vans company. Then they defended this measure within a generalized adjustment Within the company as the way to gain presence in the United States and, at the same time, learn in software matter of what is worked on the other side of the puddle. An especially important facet for Germans who have been looking for alternatives in other companies, including China Xpeng. Almost a year ago, in Volkswagen they claimed that this decision would allow them increase your sales in the United Statesa country where the company has more problems to satisfy a market that demands huge vehicles whose production is available for a hand for the Germans. That promise, to continue growing in sales, was especially important in the Context of cuts mentioned above. In fact, the workers’ representatives came to wonder what guarantees were that the last and new party committed was not A new way of burning another 1 billion dollars. To this difficult situation, Donald Trump’s tariffs have been added. The commercial barriers of the new president of the United States have led Volkswagen to look for solutions to alleviate economic damage to their finances. From having hundreds of audi units stops on the border until a conversion of one of their plants In the country. Now, Rivian already adjusts his sales goals. Down. The excuse is the tariffs Rivian should deliver 51,000 units of their cars, pick-up and electric vans at the end of the year. But he already announces that he will not fulfill the plans. The figure has been adjusted downwards, reducing forecasts between 10 and 20%. According to their new accounts, they will put in the market Between 40,000 and 46,000 vehicles. They ensure that the reason is the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump’s government in the United States. Collect in Bloomberg that the company manufactures all its cars in the country and that the vast majority of the pieces are also local but that they warn that the company “is not immune to the impacts of world trade and the economic environment.” Of course, the company ensures that it can meet the objective of offering a gross benefit at the end of the year. Once taxes and other items are discounted, Most likely, Rivian continues to give losses. Tariffs are assuming a real headache for the industry and even is a problem for who manufacture in the United States. Tesla, for example, is the company that Less impact will suffer With these commercial barriers but Elon Musk himself wanted to make it clear that They were also affected by them. Giants like Ford or General Motors have been Looking for formulas To alleviate the economic blow to its accounts but the situation is especially complicated for two types of companies: those that export to the country most of its production or pieces (such as Japanese and Europeans) or those of smaller. The largest companies have giving way to a stock they had already accumulated. Applying great discountsit is certain that they have not achieved the benefits per unit that they would expect but at least it has allowed them to move forward until knowing the possible new conditions. However, for small companies such as Rivian the situation is much more complicated. We have already counted to start a car company forces to lose money for years and that it is only sustainable if other companies and Investors They are willing to Leave your money until you see benefits. In this case, a commercial sway is much more pronounced than in any other situation. Now, Volkswagen has no choice but to maintain the road map and continue supporting Rivian although the economic context that makes it even more complicated. The Germans aspired to learn their company from this company Secrets around softwarea division that is Bringing the entire Volkswagen Group and? He already expelled some of his CEO.

We have been asking if the eggs are good or bad for our health. The tests are very forceful

by

It is a debate that we have surely heard countless times, that of how good or bad that eggs result for our health. It is a setback, the evidence that eggs are “bad” is limited and has been refuted by various studies, but still the issue remains the subject of new studies. Studies that continue to insist on the usual consumption of eggs does not represent a risk additional. Another study on the list. A recent study of mortality associated with egg consumption has not observed indications of an increase in mortality associated with egg consumption. Moreover, the study found an inverse relationship between the regular consumption of this food and the risk of deaths linked to cardiovascular diseases. The study He followed up of 8,756 over 70 years of age, which gave information about their diets. Based on this information, the team separated the participants in three groups: who did not consume eggs or did it shortly, those who consumed eggs between one and six times a day, and those who consumed eggs daily. Verdict. The study results indicated that people in the moderate consumption group had a risk of mortality by 15% lower than those of the low consumption group, controlling other factors. They also observed a 29% reduction associated with specific mortality due to heart disease. Of egg aspirin. The study was framed in the ASPREE project (Aspirin in rear Events in the Elderly), curiously, a project dedicated to the study of the effects of aspirin in preventive medicine. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Nutrients. But they didn’t have cholesterol? “Eggs are a dense food in nutrients, they are a rich source of protein and a good source of nutrients, such as B vitamins, folate, non -saturated fatty acids, fat -solub vitamins (E, D, a, and k), hill, and numerous minerals and trace elements,” explained in a press release Holly Wild, co -author of the study. However, the eggs won a bad reputation due to their cholesterol content. Each egg has about 275 milligrams of cholesterol, which would represent almost the entire recommended amount of cholesterol, they explain In an article for The conversation Lauren Ball and Karly Bartrim, experts from the University of Queensland, in Australia. The trick is in absorption, Ball and Bartrim point out. And it is that the fact that we consummate a food with high cholesterol content does not mean that our body will absorb that cholesterol and make it end in the bloodstream, where it can imply a risk. This is the advance. The debate on the hypothetical damage that eggs may be a health risk has been perpetuated for years has often been used to discredit advances made in the field of nutrition. And it is true that the science that studies nutrients and their effects on our body is complex: the varied of the human diet and the immense complexity of our body are two factors that make extremely difficult to measure the effects of some foods on our health. It is not surprising Therefore we can occasionally run into this type of debates. The contradictory results are not alien to any field of science: there are many reasons why a study can yield erroneous results, such as methodological failures, calculation errors or even by mere statistical chance. That is why relationships must be studied several occasions, by different teams and following a variety of methods, this is how failures and erroneous relationships have been detected on several occasions. It is how the method itself should work. In Xataka | White eggs have disappeared from our supermarkets: the story of how brown was commercially imposed Image | Morgane Perraud

Spanish bank has made a “confiscatory” tax in Confetti for its party: 8.4 billion benefits

by

8,487 million euros. That is the joint benefit of the six great banks quoted in Spain during the first quarter of 2025. 27% more than a year ago, according to The economist. The most striking thing is that they have achieved it in full application of the extraordinary government of the Government, to which They called “Confiscator”, “disproportionate” and “harmful to the stability of the financial system.” That tax has ended up being a mere accounting score. A cost that can be moved, adjust, deduce. In summary: overcome. Why is it important. Because it shows a historical constant: when trying extraordinary to financial power, it reacts extraordinarily effectively. And because he talks about systemic inequality: a citizen cannot choose when and how to pay their taxes, but a bank does. And you can even earn more money along the way. In detail. Of the 1.4 billion euros that the bank tax was supposedly costing this year, only 351 million have impacted the first quarter accounts. Not because it has been repealed. But because this year is prorated. The regulations allow deductions of up to 25% of the tax base, a circumstance that financial entities have taken advantage of to optimize their results. Bankinterdirectly, will not pay anything this year or the one that comes. Thanks to the deductions of the Corporation Tax, its fiscal invoice has been zero. CaixaBankthat does pay, it is almost the one that wins the most: +46.2% benefit. He Santander It reduces its tax burden of 74%, and earns 3,402 million. And the BBVAin a context of downward types, its results improves 22.7%. Between bambalins. The strategy is double: accountant and narrative. Accounting, the tax is fractional and make up with deductions. Narratively, the sector projected a resistance image. But the reality is that the tax has not altered the fundamental: Has not stopped profitability (Rote up to 20%). It has not reduced dividends. The business trend has not changed: in Spain, banks grow 48%. The banks expressed concern about the impact, but the adaptation of their fiscal strategies has considerably damping the effect they had planned. The backdrop. In 2024, The tax was loadedand the bank raised his voice. But since then they have learned to manage it. The new design gives them air. A “fiscal air” that allows them to continue flying although in theory they carry ballast in the form of extra tax load. In addition, this fiscal relief more than compensates for the setback in the margin of interest, which falls 3.95% due to the decrease of types. But The gross margin rises 8.31%thanks especially to commissions … already the aforementioned tax adjustments. In perspective. While the general economy looks at the Iribor of side and keeps inflation, the banking sector demonstrates adaptation to the fiscal environment. They have not only avoided the coup, but continue to meet objectives before shareholders and investors. And incidentally, they leave a message to the markets: not even before a sudden tax its benefits are stopped.
