"If you do not know how to manage things, to return powers to the ministry!" Shouts a court official, accusing the Government of "misappropriation" and encourages his teammates gathered spontaneously in the lobby of the City of Justice in Barcelona, ​​to report to the Administration. The 210,000 officers in charge of the Catalan government today found a nasty surprise on the payroll, have become much less than they expected. "We know the percentage because there is much confusion, but in some cases up to 500 euros," said union spokesman, loudspeaker in hand, calls for workers to concentrate tomorrow morning to take action.

Officials have now taken the payroll for the month of December. But this has come to their bank accounts depleted. It turns out that the Government has been applied to a double deduction for Income Tax of Individuals (income tax) wage December: one for ordinary pay received today and another by Christmas extra pay should collect next December 28. An Interior Department spokesman confirmed that the Catalan Executive has advanced retention and Christmas bonus has been justified in "tax and computer issues."

The Catalan government workers each year receive regular pay and Christmas on December 21. Due to the liquidity crisis of the Government, this year will do exceptionally well in at least two batches. Today should collect regular pay and the next day 28, the extraordinary. In an internal memo, the Government has confirmed its workers charged that day only 80% of the deferred bonus and 20% next year. According to Interior, the division of pay deductions difficult to implement, so it was decided to do it all at once. Union sources, however, attribute this decision to the plight of the Catalan cash and a formula for winning cash.

"They've done the tax deduction on an amount that we have not taken ... It's unbelievable, "union spokesman regretted it. "This is already what we needed. People think that because officials charge a fortune, but some people do not go from being mileuristas "complains one worker in the courts of Barcelona, ​​which has joined 250 other companions when, at noon, has begun to information circular that payrolls came thinner than normal. For this month's salary had to go to the banks. "But there is nothing broken, so really do not know exactly what has happened," another official said after a morning of rumors, comments and, above all, great discomfort.
