THE FACE OF THE CRISIS

For those who have not yet been affected, the news on the crisis may seem abstracts: the agency Standard and Poors cut the debt rating of Spain. The European Commission predicts that the Spanish economy will shrink by a 2% in 2009 and that the unemployment rate will get close to 19%. The adjustment will be longer than in other European countries due to the dependence of the real estate sector.
Numbers may seem very cold, but at 7 am I found the face of the crisis: a couple sleeping on cardboards by a bank cash machine; what it surprised me was that they were very young. It seems inevitable the raising of similar scenes while the Spanish economy sinks.
