The spokesman for the popular municipal councilor and Traffic Safety delegate, raised to full on February 26 a motion requesting that the National Government to urgently take all necessary measures for self-employed workers can collect unemployment insurance in 2009, given that this group receives no government of the nation's attention and help they need, especially in the current economic crisis, despite his outstanding contribution to the development of our economy.
In his motion, Fuentes proposes that the National Government to lower taxes for the self, as in 2008 were taxed by the same quantities as modules in the previous year, while the activity has fallen by 30%.
Thus, in the Region of Murcia 2008 ceased almost 4,000 self-of 105,630 to 101,748-which has also led to the dismissal of 15,000 workers.
It is also to allow this group to have greater access to bank financing, since it is necessary that credit comes once and for all the real economy.
In Spain there are 3.3 million self-employed, they depend in turn 6.5 million people.
This is an activity that generates up to 33% of employment and between 18 and 20% of GDP, and also represents 80% of Spanish production.
Therefore, the self-employed is one of the groups that brings more wealth to the national economy and one that creates more jobs.
The members of this group are in an extreme situation, suffering particularly hard the impact of the crisis.
This is evidenced, for example, the fact that only in January to cease in their activity by more than 32,000 self-employed, at a rate of 1,000 a day.
And is that lack of funding cuts resulting from the credit, joins the default, the drop in consumption and sluggish demand.
While the new statute for the Self-Employed is a breakthrough, the single application is insufficient to meet the needs and demands of a particular collective punishment in recent times.
All this makes it necessary to urgently adopt measures that embody the basic demands of the self-employed, such as payment of lower taxes and greater access to bank financing.
Furthermore, it is necessary now more than ever that the self not have to wait to 2011, the date established by the national government to collect unemployment insurance because the distance measure to prevent and response solution to the problems now is living this group.
