Spanish practices

摘要

Spain's new government is learning to be wary of microphones. Mariano Rajoy, the prime minister, was caught by one claiming his labour reform would provoke strikes. Luis de Guindos, the economy minister, was overheard calling it extremely aggressive. When the reform was unveiled in a decree of February 10th, expectations were of a radical sim plification of Spain's rigid labour laws, whichhelp keep unemployment at 23% (and youth unemployment at 47%).
