Spain’s regional crisis hammers firms, devastates families - The Globe and Mail
"Inma Martinez, a separated mother of four, is one such victim of
attempts by regional and local governments to finance their budget
deficits by delaying payments.
Like her fellow municipal employees in the southern town of La Linea
de la Concepcion, she is owed eight months of unpaid wages.
Nevertheless, she turns up every day to clean the bus station, fearing
that if she stays at home the town hall will fire her, probably ending
any chance of recovering her wages.
Ms. Martinez, 47, has been reduced to begging for food with other
local families at a shopping centre in La Linea, which nestles next to
the British territory of Gibraltar."
