The groups criticized the budget cuts on youth and social services.
participatory It calls for a fair where they can be present social groups and youth and cultural associations.
Juvenalia did not have the money to its conclusion
The Department of Youth has decided to suspend this year's celebration of Juvenalia, fair youth that had been held for more than twenty years. This decision has been made even though the event was reflected in the budgets of 2009, which have been reduced by more than 50% in the Youth field.
Already in recent years, social groups, youth councils, federations, associations and cultural associations and youth not participating in the fair, mainly for two reasons: the price of the stands unattainable and censorship by the Directorate General for all initiatives and groups that did not share his political vision.
Therefore, in the latest editions of Juvenalia, the show was limited to government institutions to gather the community, trademarks, multinational banking institutions. Particularly serious was the participation of the armed forces (Civil Guard police, real stores and army), are intended to make war a game involving children attending the event.
Therefore, social groups, youth and anti-militarist, he did not regret the suspension of the fair, at least as developed in recent editions. But if you wonder where has gone the budget for Youth, visibly diminished, in 2009.
López Viejo, Gürtel involved in the case has been one of the last three directors of the Ministry of Youth this year
The General Directorate of Youth has gone through three ministries during the current year and one of its Directors (López Viejo), is still charged in the Madrid plot case Gürtel. The money spent has decreased by more than 50%. And their services are privatized in a rush, the last, the youth card management. In recent years, policies of social intervention, democratization and diluted share for foreign travel for the elite and favoritism are trademarks and large multinationals. And Juvenalia had become the showcase of this policy: privatization and education based on values \u200b\u200bsuch frivolity, exacerbated consumerism, capitalism and war.
We want you back. And then he'll be a fair in the promotion of the participation, solidarity, the work of the collective, social, ecological and cooperative. We do not want a fair youth that only learn how to eat, shop and make war.
