An interesting view. A terrible shame you’ve had to let all your employees go. What do you think Zapatero should be doing to help small businesses grow for the next decade or so?

I run a small estate agency in the Valencia region (since 2003) but have scaled down and made all my staff redundant (it costs a fortune to fire Spanish workers) and closed my office and  now work from home. My belief is that this government run by the unimpressive Mr Bean is focusing only on the self preservation of their own jobs i.e re-election. The medium and long term future of Spain is not even on their radar. Hard policy ideas that could help the country (but not please the socialists) do not even get on to the list, nevermind have achance of being adopted. I really fear for the short term future of Spain.
