3. Non-discrimination in access to housing: Article 19, and other issues related to buying a home, is expressly prohibited “refuse an offer to purchase or lease or refuse the beginning of talks” for some of the causes under the law from now, the homeowners can not say no to a tenant simply because they want to rent your property, as they risk being brought before the body provided for by law and charged discrimination. This article adds to the already precarious legal uncertainty rental market in Spain. There seems to be the best way to encourage outward empty houses on the market.

4. Media: The new legislation does not stop when it reaches the field of media, which requires “respect the right to equality in the information, avoiding any form of discrimination.” Of course, the question is, who decides this? Does the new body created by the Ministry of Leire Pajin? And the answer is yes and that also means they are covered by shifting the burden of proof as to non-discrimination.

5. Public grants and contracts: All this had to have the corollary to Article 35, which clearly states that “the government may establish special conditions in order to promote equality and non discrimination.” Come on, to contract with the State or to receive a grant will have to jump through hoops to the provisions of the draft and discussed in previous sections.

Of course, everything is justified by the pursuit of equality. No equality before the law, but equality after the application of the law.

1. Equal treatment in employment: The bill makes clear in Article 12 that “there may be no” limitation, segregation or exclusion by reason of the grounds provided “in the regulations. Of course, at least admits that there is discrimination if produces a “difference of treatment based on a characteristic related to a case of discrimination when such a characteristic constitutes a genuine and determining occupational requirement, provided that the objective is legitimate and the requirement is proportionate.” And here enters the realm of absolute discretion.

For a modeling agency can say that girls choose not lower than 1.70 cm that is required “essential”, but perhaps the judge will look a little argument “proportionate” and “illegitimate” and imposed a fine. Who knows. This means that Spanish firms already have a new reason to fear lawsuits, penalties and additional costs, because anyone can claim that it does not discriminate when chips.

Furthermore, paragraph 4 of that Article 12 notes that “means discriminatory criteria for access to employment situation of indirect discrimination occur.” That is, if a company makes an examination approved by 80 girls and 20 boys, you may face a lawsuit for discrimination based on sex.

2. Self-Employment: One of the most surreal provisions of the articles is one that prohibits discrimination in employment on their own, which states that may be established or segregation “in access to the exercise of these activities.” A government that has rules for everything and that requires very harsh conditions for the setting up of a business or to obtain a professional license now says that you can not discriminate in access. Again, as in the previous section, the self-employed have from now (if the draft is approved) a new concern.

Understand the difference between a consolidation loan, a debt management program and debt negotiation. Companies that claim to be able to help you reduce your payments or get fast debt can pretend to be offering consolidation loans, may have the name “consolidation” in its name, when in fact even using methods such as debt management, subsidence, and even bankruptcy. it will be affect you supplied your consolidation information. These are substantial differences between these options:
A consolidation loan is simply a loan that pays off other loans. Once you consolidate a loan, owe the money to the new lender, not the original creditor. A consolidation loan can lower your monthly payments, either by reducing their interests or by extending the length of time to repay, but the other creditors write off completely.Consolidation loans can hurt your credit temporarily, but usually not to the debt management program or debt negotiation.
The debt management programs can also reduce your payments, but they work differently. A debt management agency acts as an intermediary between you and your creditor and try to negotiate a reduction in the rate of interest or fees on their loans. Then pay an agreed sum to the administrator of debt or credit counseling agency and they distribute the payment (usually less a fee) to your creditors.Participation in a debt management plan usually appears on or credit report, and may adversely affect your credit rating.
Debt negotiation is the act of setting a debt for less than it should. Pay a portion of what he owes to a creditor, and this clears the rest of the debt. The credit card companies usually offer a fixed lump sum as a way to recoup some of their losses.As you end up owing less, an array can severely damage your credit. Worse, third party companies that offer debt settlement are known for misleading practices such as consolidation, and these companies usually charge exorbitant fees while simply share with your creditors early, sometimes failing to negotiate any differences in terms of repayment.

More about the gag Leire Pajin, typical of a dictatorship that brutally attack the freedom of the individual and their own property, freedom of choice, education, opinion … impose heavy fines to achieve its goals: Eliminate different views, the rights of citizens and impose its vision and ideology alone:

“The draft Comprehensive Law on Equal Treatment and Non Discrimination this Friday the Council of Ministers has submitted to Parliament limitations to private ownership and the ability of companies to decide how to organize your business. Under the guise of” non-discrimination “the Government proposes a 33 pages long article that seeks to interfere in the Spanish economic life.

The keys to the new rules is four. First, it prohibits what the Government considers as “discrimination” whatever the causes that led to it. Second, states that this lack of equality can occur both directly and indirectly and in both cases may be appealed and must be repaired by the government. The Bill also establishes a series of harsh sanctions, which could reach up to 500,000 euros for those who violate the provisions of the new Act Finally, the legislation does not adhere to oblige public bodies to follow their prescriptions varied catalog of pro -equality, but intrudes into the private life of the Spanish and their companies to dictate what should be the criteria to guide their decisions. Leire Pajin has decided that everyone must be equal. Equal according to their particular concept of equality, of course. And that does not comply, will drop a ticket.

The prohibition against discrimination and established the Spanish Constitution, as well as other articles of the new rules are devoted to explain what you mean Mrs. Pajín for equality.

For any condition: Article 2.1 of the Draft Law provides that “no one shall be discriminated against on grounds of birth, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, illness, language or other status.” The last three words of text are the most worrisome, because referring to “any condition”, the law would leave open the option that everyone claims to have been discriminated against (being fat or thin or tall or short, etc …).

Discrimination: Article 4 states that “prohibits any conduct, act, criterion or practice” discriminatory. Of course, admits that allowed those who can “objectively justified by a legitimate aim and a means appropriate, necessary and proportionate.” This means that every time a Spanish make a decision such as renting the floor of the 3 or 4 candidates who have interviewed have no doubt as to whether the losers will be denounced “discrimination.” And you will have to justify its decision is “objective, fair, necessary and proportionate”.

Hint: In addition, the draft Leire Pajin also provide for the punishment of indirect discrimination, which occurs when “a provision, criterion or practice would cause or may cause a person at a particular disadvantage compared to another.” This means that even an objective and logical criteria can be reviewed by the socio-political brigade Pajín. For example, if a security company implements a very demanding physical tests to access a security guard work, perhaps reprimanded and fined look because women do not achieve 50% of the seats (they are logically weaker than the men). In the U.S., a pioneer in this kind of politically correct standards, there has been the case of tests that have been banned by the courts because they were not approved by a sufficient percentage of black people as these, on average, have lower grades in school and college. That is, to pursue a theoretical and utopian equality, Pajín you question everyone unevenly.

Exception: Yes, the Minister of Health decided to introduce a curious exception. In Article 2.4 explicitly states that “the prohibition of discrimination language precludes any difference in treatment by the use of Castilian or the use of different co-official languages.” That is, discrimination in Spain will be prosecuted except that affects speakers of their languages. Nationalism can be quiet all the language laws will be approved unless the new law

Burden of proof: One of the most striking aspects of the law is that “administrative procedures” when the plaintiff “provide a proof of principle of its existence,” the defendant shall “contribution of an objective justification and reasonable. ” Come on, you will need to be charged to show (not sure how) that has not discriminated against. At least the law excludes criminal proceedings of this provision, perhaps because he knows he could be his tomb in the courts because the Constitution makes clear that the proof is on the accusing, not the accused. This so upset the “presumption of innocence,” which is loaded Pajín here in what refers to administrative procedures.

Penalties: Article 44, the Government has made the space for the fines. There will be three types of offenses. Mild (procedural irregularities), a fine of between 150 and 10,000 euros. Graves (discrimination), a fine of between 10,001 and 60,000 euros. And very severe (for repeat offenders and those who practice discriminatory harassment), with fines of up to 500,000 euros.

The body protector: Since all this can not be simply the willingness of judges and prosecutors, the Draft provides for the “Authority for Equal Treatment and Non-Discrimination”, which will undertake to “protect and promote equality treatment in both the public and private. ” So all citizens can rest assured that there is already a more bureaucratic organization, with headquarters budget office employees, all paid from taxes, and shall ensure that no one would happen discriminate according to the criteria discussed so far .

The attack on the economy: The foregoing will now be applicable to any Spanish, person or entity. These are the general provisions of the Act, which will assist all citizens are increasingly monitored to make decisions that consider Pejín Leire which may be discriminatory. However, there are specific items aimed at regulating economic activity and which will provide an over-cost the lives of citizens and the daily business activity. The following are the five most prominent.
