The price of eggs has shot and having an own chicken coop seems attractive. But there are fines of up to 3,000 euros

2025 is the year of Trump’s return to the White House, that of the negotiations on Ukraine, the Rearm of Europe, The tariffs and the distancing from Brussels and Washington. And against all prognosis 2025 it is also being the year of the Egg crisis. Literally. Good The US knowsplunged into a deep “ovoflation”but also Spainwhere in a short time the eggs have increased more than 20%. Thus, many households, especially in the rural, can think of mount To self -abuse. It is not new or that has been done before in Spain. Of course, since 2024 more than chickens, grain and desire to have a domestic chicken coop is needed. If we want to save a fine, it is also necessary to fulfill certain procedures. Issue of laws (and fines). That we lead all our lives seeing homemade pens in the villages, mounted on farms or courtyards with a few laying chickens, it does not mean that there is no law that regulates them. In July 2021 it was approved A Royal Decree which establishes certain “basic standards” to “order” poultry farms. And although it does not focus exclusively on “self -consumption” farms, it includes certain guidelines that its owners must respect. If you have a chicken coop or even a small homemade corral you should know the decree. Especially because, although The text It is 2021, part of its rules on safety, hygiene and equipment did not begin to apply until relatively recently: on January 1, 2024, when the moratorium enjoyed by the farms that already existed. And what does the decree say? One of the most relevant points for domestic farms is the one collected in article 16.5, which Specifies: “The holders of self -consumption farms will be obliged to carry out prior communication so that they are included in the General Registry of Livestock Explodes.” The “self -consumption” nuance is important because The law also define clearly what requirements they must meet to be: not exceed a maximum number of birds or selling anything they produce. Neither young nor meat nor eggs. In case they would go to the category of “reduced exploitation”. The requirement for home pens is less strict than the one applied to the rest of the farms, which before registering is required an authorization that accredits that they meet all the norms; But that does not mean that chickens for self -supply can do whatever they want. They must register. And among other issues are obliged to identify a reference veterinarian. Question of eggs euros. Laws usually carry sanctions for those who break them. AND The 2021 decree About poultry farms is no exception. In the norm, no sanctions are specified in euros, but the corpus of laws to which the authorities will resort to an infraction does refer. In the case at hand, that of not registering a corral, the reference is the Animal Health Law of 2003in which it is identified as a mild infraction not to communicate to the authorities the births or entries of animals of an exploitation. And how much does that mean? A good pinch. The sanction can go from 600 to 3,000 euros, everything depends on the circumstances of each case and aggravating as recidivism. The law also allows infractions to settle with a simple “warning”, although exceptionally. “It will only be imposed if there was no intent and in the last two years the person in charge would not have been sanctioned (…) for the commission of any other violation of the planned,” Clarify. But … Is it a new standard? Not quite. In fact it has been feeling its effect in different regions of Spain for a few months. A year ago for example The voice of Galicia explained that the new requirement had left “an avalanche” of applications in the offices of the Department of Rural Environment, where they already accounted for 40,700 self -consumption chickens. The high ones do not respond only to the fear of fines. Without the process, Corrales owners were already They couldn’t buy New offspring for its farms. In other regions the norm had a scope much more limited. The eggs, under the focus. That the Royal Decree of 2021 is news is now explained for a simple reason: the eggs have become considerably more expensive in recent weeks. In a scenario marked by the increase in demand and the costs and ghost of the avian flu that hits the United States, the Ministry of Agriculture calculates that its price at origin has risen 30% In just one year. So far from 2025 the increases have been, depending on the type of product, between 11 and 18%, with increases especially pronounced in the last month. The OCU estimates that “a dozen medium eggs now costs 25% more than a month ago.” Specifically, it calculates that the price of M Eggs M have risen 25.2% if they are compared to the data of April 2024. It also agrees that the rise has been more marked the last two weeks. Looking for the causes. OCU is not limited only to Identify ups Price, which move between 25% of the M Eggs and 15.4% year -on -year of the L. have also investigated the causes of that increase, a sum of “several factors” among which includes the rise in prices at origin, the US crisis by avian flu, an increase in production controls and “collective psychosis.” “The videos, information in networks … of individuals talking about the price increase and comparing what the eggs cost the eggs creates an environment in which we all expect that ‘crisis’”, Reason the organization of consumers, which warns about the possible “speculation.” With that backdrop in the US there are even those who have opted for rent chickens and self -abuse. In Spain, having its own domestic corral is not such a strange option, especially in the rural, but that: to avoid scares (and fines) it is convenient to know the law and … Read more

Simply reluctant to you in the following for a cost of 100 euros

March 19, 2025 by usatoday24

Traveling by plane is little less than hell. It is, at least, the perception that has been pending in recent years among passengers who have to face long waiting times, exhaustive police controls, inflexible policies with luggage … and start floating the idea that, if you do not reach a flight you will have to accept a fine of 100 euros. A fine that does not exist and that Ryanair does not apply. Hell. There was a day when getting on a plane was beautiful, comfortable and aspirational. Today most already hates it. The head of the article signed last year in Xataka summarizes the discomfort of passengers when flying. The experience of a plane trip has been completely transformed over the years. Something more than half a century has been enough to transform an experience in which you could enjoy the food of “A select chefs group” to give water from the sink to the passengers. According to account MirrorThis is what happened on a Ryanair flight last year. A misunderstood democratization. The good part of the story is that more than 50 years ago, flying was synonymous with elitism, of having enough money to allow a trip in a tremendously expensive device that was within the reach of very few people. Today, our skies have been filled with airplanes but the way of traveling has also been degraded to the inconceivable. On the way we have let companies measure our luggage and play from a position of power with our time. Are you willing to pay more to travel despite Your suitcase meets the regulations? And it is not only a matter of low -cost companies. Financial Times He points out that one in four flights in the United States already arrives late and that losses of the suitcases have multiplied by five. A passenger assures that Ryanair sanctions him with 70 euros because the wheels of his suitcase exceed the maximum allowed in two centimeters Ryanair, in the eye of the hurricane. If a company has become famous for playing in the fine line between legality and the clear abuse of power is Ryanair. The company is one of the most relevant on European flights thanks to its low prices. In return, hand luggage regulations (among other things) are so strict that there are cases such as two German tourists who had to pay more than 200 euros because their suitcase exceeded the allowed size in one centimeter, according to Diario de Mallorca. Small example. The last great controversy has arrived with the conflict between the government and the airline following a fine of the Ministry of Consumer. This considers that the company’s policy to ban the plane with a hand suitcase is illegal and has imposed it A fine of more than 100 million euros. To which Ryanair has answered with the threat of get out of smaller airports of the country, seriously injuring them. But calling the consumer minister to answer the fine has been one of the last controversies of great draft but not the only one. The company has confirmed that this year they plan to delete the physical shipping card and that only the plane can be accessed using the mobile phone. Assures that they will attend to those who have broken the phone but have not responded to Xataka What happens if a passenger goes with the physical card. Facua says that this is illegal. Not everything is a bad praxis. Ryanair’s practices have led the company to be subject to multiple holders in the media. In good part of the cases because they apply demands that do not have other airlines, because their extras are much more expensive than the competition or because they are inflexible in their regulations. But there are also cases such as “Fine of 100 euros that Ryanair will make you if you are late for shipment”. This fine does not exist. It is simply an extra that the company offers to be readmitted on the next flight available. As long as those 100 extra euros are paid. That is, it is an addition to the rate known as “Flight loss charge”. It is available if the passenger arrives with less than 40 minutes to the boarding door and the doors have already been closed. You can also use it up to an hour after the air off. Strangle the language. What has been done in this case by some media and on social networks has been to strangle the language until something supposedly news is achieved. On its websiteRyanair assures that the billing counters “closely closed 40 minutes before the exit of your flight, unless you notify you otherwise before the flight exit. If you do not invoice before that period, it is possible that you will be denied the embarkation without the right to reimbursement.” Those 40 minutes are those that have served as an excuse to talk about an alleged fine that does not exist, it is simply an alternative to buying another plane ticket at the airport. Each company establishes a minimum of minutes before closing the doors. To put some examples: Flexible rates. The supply of flexible rates that allow some type of change in the paths are usual. When flying, Vueling allows a change On the flight up to two hours before the exit as long as you pay the difference with the new journey. They say you can save between 55 and 70 euros. Ryanair herself also has a rate Specific for flight change before closing its shipping doors. And it’s not just a matter of flying. In the railroad, this type of options in which they pay an extra allow the change of day and time of a train is usual until a few minutes before. It is something that offers from the BIRD until Ouigo either Iro. Also when the train has been lost (the equivalent of Ryanair’s option). In Iryo, for example, this change It … Read more

0.2 g/l in blood and fines of 1,000 euros

March 19, 2025 by usatoday24

Congress has taken a key step to harden alcohol restrictions at the wheel in Spain. The lower house has taken into consideration A proposition of the law of the PSOE not only reduce the maximum alcohol rate in blood at 0.2 g/l but also prohibit the dissemination of police controls on social networks. The text has advanced with a single vote against Vox and the abstention of the PP. The current limits in Spain. The breathalyzer rate measures the blood alcohol level and is expressed in grams per liter of blood (g/l) or in milligrams per liter of exhaled air (mg/l). According to the DGTthe current legal limit is 0.5 g/l in blood and 0.25 mg/l in exhaled air for drivers in general. However, novels and professionals have more severe restrictions: 0.3 g/l in blood and 0.15 mg/l in exhaled air. What does the initiative say. The proposition of the PSOE unifies rates for all drivers, regardless of their age or permission. Thus, consider as severe infraction driving with alcohol rates greater than 0.2 g/l in blood or 0.1 mg/l in exhaled air. These are “some measures whose objective is to ‘put a brake’ to a dramatic reality that, year after year, leaves behind a trail of avoidable deaths,” The parliamentary group has said. The text establishes The following infractions scheme points that “the infractions provided for in article 77c) when the alcohol rate exceeds 0.5 milligrams per liter of exhaled air or 1 grams per liter in blood, yd) will be sanctioned with a fine of 1,000 euros”. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.1 to 0.25 mg/0.2 to 0.5 g/l: Loss of 2 points of the card. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.25 to 0.50 mg/0.5 up to 1.0 g/l: loss of 4 points of the card. Driving with an alcohol rate greater than 0.5 mg/lo 1.0 g/l: loss of 6 points of the card. With the proposed limit, a beer could already mark positive. The Ministry of Health points out that the liver can only metabolize 0.12 g/l of blood alcohol every hour. Therefore, if the new limits are applied, drinking a third of beer could cause an breathalyzer control to be overcome if the necessary time of metabolization has not passed, which is usually 1 hour and 45 minutes in men and 2 hours and 50 minutes in women. What do studies say? The promoters of the proposition have provided data from the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences. According to the agency, 33% of the drivers who died in traffic accidents had alcohol in blood. Also 29% of pedestrians who died on Spanish roads had consumed alcohol or drugs. In addition, the State Attorney General’s Office indicates that in 2023 more than 50,000 criminal convictions were registered for driving with an alcohol rate higher than permitted. But there is more. As we indicated above, it is also sought to prohibit the dissemination of the location of alcohol and drug controls in social networks. In this case, the objective is to prevent mobiles from being used “as an instrument to protect the impunity of a minority of dangerous and contumaces.” It is a problem that has been staging for some time and has become a true headache for the DGT. The process is still underway. Taking into consideration of the proposition of the PSOE law is an advance, but does not mean its approval. We will have to wait for the next plenary to know if the reduction of the alcohol rate will obtain its definitive ratification.

That the DGT is going to fine you with 135 euros for driving only in your car sounds bad. The only problem is that it is false

March 19, 2025 by usatoday24

It has become a small classic. From time to time, the news about the DGT points to new fines, sanctions or restrictions (each one more rare or unexpected) that, of course, does not exist. The last bulus points to the obligation to circulate with more than one person in the car. And if not … fine? Of course not. It is the first thing that has made us clear the DGT. To questions from Xatakafrom the organism they tell us that the DGT “will never fine to go alone in the car.” Because, indeed, that has been the last rumor that has been popularized in social networks and of which some media echoed dropping that this measure is being valued. What do we talk about? In recent days, The voice has run that the DGT works to carry out a regulation that forces us to circulate with more than one person inside the car. It has even been said that there will be fines of 135 euros if this supposed new regulation is breached. Where does all this come from? The last bulus that involves the DGT is born from a few words expressed by Pere Navarro, director of the agency, last November during the Global Mobility Call. In him he affirmed that “The future will be shared or will not be”. With this, the director of the DGT wanted to make clear the importance of sharing vehicle to save in resources and consume and pollute less. However, “one thing is to foster and another fine,” they tell us from the DGT. And the words of the director of the DGT seem to go along this line unless they want to strangle to generate noise and clicks. There is a reason. And for the DGT that reason is that, according to their data, 85% of the displacements carried out every day in Spanish cities between home and work are done with a single occupant in a vehicle. This way of moving is obviously not very efficient. “We must make a collective change of mentality that allows us to encourage the high occupation of the vehicles, because we cannot afford 1,500 kg every day to displace a single person. Increasing the occupation of the vehicles is a challenge and a necessity,” Navarro said in his speech. The “case” of France. And we could use many, but many quotes. To ensure that the fine for breaching this alleged DGT standard will be 135 euros, some media have come to say that this measure is already applied in France and that heat cameras are used to warn if there is more than one person on board. But this is not true. Vao. What has been launched in some French cities is A high occupation lane. That is, a lane like the Spanish bus-life by which only vehicles with more than one person can circulate inside. Lanes that in the Spanish case are already controlled with the use of traffic cameras and whose Fine for using it improperly is 200 euros. For the control of these lanes, indeed, In France thermal radars are being used. The objective is to prevent some stratagems from being used that deceive the cameras. In Spain, for example, cases of using dolls in the passenger seat so that, disguised, pass a companion. And one last detail. To all of the above we must add that the DGT has no competences to regulate traffic in cities. Regulate the functioning of low emissions areas (ZBE) falls on the side of the municipalities. In fact, it is something that has been complaining for a long time and using as endorsement not to establish these zbe which are mandatory since 2023 in the municipalities of more than 50,000 inhabitants.

A company has created a humanoid robot of 38,000 euros and can already be reserved

March 15, 2025 by usatoday24

Imagine it: A humanoid robot serves you a glass in your favorite bar, another directs traffic with millimeter precision and, in the bank or in the hospital, a human aspect welcomes you. Some even find a company in these automatons designed to look empathic. In a world in constant progress, the future seems clear: humanoid robots will be everywhere. How much is missing for this vision to come true? We do not know with certainty. Nor what unknown challenges will arise along the way. What is a fact is that the career to develop humanoids is more intense than ever. And in that global competition, With companies from the United States and China in frontthe last movement of China Ubtech Robotics does not go unnoticed. A real -scale humanoid. The Beijing and Ubtech Robotics Humanoid Robots Innovation Center have made known Tien Kung Xingzhe, a humanoid robot with dimensions similar to those of an adult. As we can see in the images, its design is quite futuristic, with a metal torso in gray and black tones, articulated arms and a head without facial features. But beyond its aesthetics, it stands out for several advantages: Advanced biomimetism. Its structure and movements are designed to imitate with great precision those of a human being, allowing him to interact more naturally with his environment. Maximum stability. It can move fluently even in complicated land such as mountains, stairs, sand or snow, without losing balance or compromising your performance. Disated to resist impacts. The key parts of the robot are manufactured with titanium alloy, which should reduce the total weight without compromising its structure. High performance and efficiency. Designed to operate with precision and stability in research environments, guaranteeing reliable and consistent results. Gran expansion capacity. It is compatible with additional modules such as depth cameras, lidar, strength sensors, collaborative arms of seven degrees of freedom and robotic hands of five fingers, which allows you to adapt to different needs. The Tien Kung Xingzhe has a bionic torso configuration and an anthropomorphic movement control system, which allows it to move with surprising fluidity. It has 20 degrees of freedom (DOF), that is, 20 articulation points that allow it to imitate with greater realism human movements. The more degrees of freedom has a robot, the more precise and natural its displacement will be. A robot for research. Despite the advances in robotics, the humanoids we have seen in science fiction are still far from reaching our homes. Therefore, Tien Kung Xingzhe is designed for the world of research. Its price, 299,000 yuan (about 38,000 euros), places it in an accessible category for development centers and universities. In line with its purpose, it has an open structure that allows access to its motor, sensors and movement control interfaces. It also includes documentation and code examples to facilitate customization and development of new applications. Do not wait too long. For those who closely follow the evolution of humanoid robotics, the Tien Kung Xingzhe is now available for early orders in China and deliveries are planned to begin in the second quarter of this year. If the deadlines are fulfilled, an Asian company could have advanced to several of the proposals that are being developed in the United States. It is true that we talk about different categories: while Kung Xingzhe is designed for research, other companies, such as Tesla with their Optimus robot, seek to produce mass humanoids for industrial tasks. However, in terms of early availability and adoption, China seems to be taking more than interesting steps.

A hole of 700 million euros with the Treasury

March 14, 2025 by usatoday24

The many joys that RTVE is receiving In terms of audience They have a reverse in the form of Continuous conflicts with the Treasury. And it seems that we have a new drama in perspective: there is a mismatch in VAT contributed by the entity that could cause, According to the worldan “economic breakdown” of up to 739 million euros. Millions in losses. It is being a complicated year for RTVE in economic matters. In January of this year, President José Pablo López appeared for the first time before the Parliamentary Control Commission and recognized losses of 30 million in the budgetary exercises of 2023 and 2024, which would have to be covered with the reserve funds destined for this purpose by the SEPI. However, its management has been valued very positively: in May 2024 its predecessor in office, Cascajosa Concepción, already warned of the red numbers of RTVE’s accounts, which some media like the world They encrypted in those 30 million that have not increased during López’s management. More tensions. However, the conflict with the Treasury due to VAT is somewhat greater. “A disparity of criteria is maintained in relation to the supported VAT that must be considered deductible” affirms the memory of accounts, and that refers to a conflict that dates back to 2018, coinciding with the arrival of the PSOE to the Government YLA controversial entry into the presidency from RTVE by Rosa María Mateo. It was then that the Treasury initiated an inspection against several public televisions when they considered that they had to pay VAT for the subsidies they received TVE believes he doesn’t have to pay. Since then, RTVE considers that it is not obliged to pay the VAT that is claimed, relying on a judgment of the European Court of Justice around a case in Bulgaria that supports the exemption of VAT. This same criteria was applied in Spain in 2024 in the case of the Television of Castilla-La Mancha. But RTVE’s problems with VAT do not end there: not only is the problem of how this tax pays, but how it deduces it. VAT deductions. There are three open procedures with TVE on this last topic, and understand three periods: From January 2015 to October 2017 November 2017 to December 2021 From January 2022 to December 2022 TVE’s forecasts are always optimistic, and believes that the Treasury must reintegrate money into the three processes: 255 million, 151.95 million and 42 million, respectively. There are precedents: in June 2024, the National Court sentenced that the Treasury had to return 140 million euros to RTVE, relieveing in this way The complicated RTVE accounts. Changes, changes. All these conflicts coincide over time with a very marked tone change in the chain: José Pablo López has appointed as TVE number 2 to Sergio Calderónwhich is undertaking a renewal of the contents that It is not going to end in Broncano (An acquisition of the previous directive), but already plans to attack the afternoons of the chain, giving it somewhat more modern airs. All if the budgets, immovable since 2009they allow it. Header | RTVE In Xataka | The controversy between Pablo Motos and David Broncano will not end soon: both of them are working

Volkswagen has an ace in the sleeve if its electric of 20,000 euros does not take off. The company sells more sausages than cars

March 12, 2025 by usatoday24

Last week he was one of those crucial moments in the history of a company like Volkswagen. The dream of the German house of offering the general public at an electric non -exorbitant price or, as they themselves announced, “for all”, it was advanced under the ID name. Every1a utility on the border of 20,000 euros as a red line. It happens that, if things come out auctionly, VW has an ace in the sleeve. Because they sell more sausages than cars. An unexpected record. As we said, Volkswagen closed 2024 with a surprising fact: He sold more currywurstthe famous German sausages, than cars. While the manufacturer delivered 5.2 million vehicles worldwide, its food division reached a record of 8.5 million sausages sold200,000 more than in 2023. Of course, although the unexpected gastronomic success has been celebrated by the company, what is doubtful, does not seem to compensate for the difficult financial situation that crosses. Decline in sales. Because the excellent data of the sausages is certainly negative. Annual results, published on Tuesdaythey revealed one 30.4% drop In net benefits, despite a slight increase of 0.7% in total income. Sales collapse in China, its most important market, has been a severe blow, since the country registered its lowest level of Volkswagen vehicles in more than a decade. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturers Like Byd They have gained land with cheaper electric models, surpassing VW as The largest car seller In the Asian giant. The secret of VW sausages. The currywursta sausage bathed in tomato sauce with spices of curry and accompanied by fried potatoes, has been a symbol within the Volkswagen culture Since its introduction in 1973. Originally prepared to feed workers in their dining rooms, the product has expanded until it is sold in supermarkets from 12 countries. To get an idea of the importance it has for the company, it even has a piece number in the spare parts catalog: 199 398 500 Awhich reinforces its status as an “original Volkswagen component.” It is sold in the 30 canteens of the company, in work kiosks and in supermarkets near its factories. Volkswagen’s butcher shop at the Wolfsburg plant in 1973 The controversy. In 2021 the company tried scandal which included the protest of former German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schröder, who He defended the sausage as “an energy bar for production workers.” After the controversy, Volkswagen reintroduced currywurst in 2023 apologized by ensuring that he had only wanted to respond to the growing demand for vegetarian and vegan options among his employees and, since then, his popularity has continued on the rise. “The Volkswagen currywurst has become much more than a simple snack; is an icon ”, Gunnar Kilian declaredGroup’s Human Resources Director, holding the sales record. Structural problems And while sausages reach historical figures, the automaker faces a deep crisis. In an attempt to reduce costs, Volkswagen was about to close factories in Germany for the first time in its history and, although he managed to avoid it, he announced The dismissal of 35,000 employees In the coming years. In addition, the company temporarily suspended its labor security program, which had protected jobs until 2029, and only after a last minute negotiation with the unions in December It extended up to 2030. The company’s situation has also been threatened by external factors. It We have recentlyDonald Trump has warned that he will impose tariffs on car imports from Europe and Mexico, where Volkswagen has plants than They supply the US market. To this are added geopolitical uncertainty and the increase in commercial restrictions, which adds more pressure to the company’s recovery strategy. The electric bet. Despite the difficult panorama, the German house maintains the hope of a rebound in 2025, with the forecast of a growth of More than 5% In your income. As part of its transformation, it has presented plans to launch in 2027 That most affordable electric model To date with the intention of recovering land in front of their Chinese rivals. Meanwhile, the irony that a global renowned automotive company sells more sausages that cars reflects the deep difficulties that the sector is going through. Although the currywurst has become an unusual stability pillar for Volkswagen, it is impossible to hide the monumental challenges he faces to recover his leadership in the sector and adapt to an increasingly competitive market.

The average salary in Spain has received A remarkable improvement Since 2022.al and as indicated by the authors of the Adecco Group report, this recovery is due to a 3.8% increase in nominal wages during 2024. Despite the good data, the authors of the study remember that this increase is the second lowest of the last fifteen quarters, only ahead of the 3.4% increase recorded in 2021. With this increase, the average salary in Spain is located in the historical maximum of the 1,987 euros per month on average and, for the first time in the series, no autonomous community has an average salary of less than 1,600 euros per month. Rich autonomy, poor autonomy. Despite this generalized improvement, there is still a large salary difference depending on the community in which it is resided. The best average remuneration is given in the community of Madrid and the Basque Country, with average salaries of 2,384 euros and 2,248 euros respectively, followed by Navarra and Catalonia that close the group with salaries above 2,000 euros. At the tail in salaries we find Andalusia, with an average salary of 1,750 euros, the Canary Islands, with 1,668 euros and closes the Extremadura list with 1,641 euros on average. However, despite registering the lowest average salary in Spain, Extremadura is the one that has received the greatest interannual increase, with 7.4%, which has allowed it to cut distances with the Canary Islands. The purchasing power is improved. Although the salary increases They are always good news, the inflation can dilute them cutting the purchasing power of those salaries. By putting salaries in relation to prices, Adecco Group Institute has observed an improvement in the average purchasing power of salaries, encrypting the increase in 578 euros per year for the whole of Spain, which implies an improvement of 2.5% average in its purchasing power. “Even so, the purchase capacity of the current average salary is 7.9 % lower than the largest purchasing power of the historical series, reached in 2009,” the authors of the report point out. Inflation ballast. Again, the autonomous fluctuation of inflation has made differences in this data. The ones who have seen their purchasing power most have been the workers of Balearic Islands and Madrid, with 1,351 euros and 1,213 euros per year of improvement respectively, followed by the Region of Murcia and Extremadura with 871 euros and 757 euros a year. However, despite generalized improvements, two communities They have lost purchasing power In the last year. The salary increase in Cantabria could not cushion inflation and its workers lost 72 euros of purchasing power per year. Worst are the data of the Canary Islands, whose salaries lost 209 euros a year in purchasing capacity.
