I'm from Spain, and I have registered on this forum only to support you. In my opinion, You are being "tested" by the IMF and Merkel. They want to know how much you can stand before you decide to start some serious riots. They want to know if they can do this in the future with Spain/Greece/Italy/Portugal, but I believe they have got wrong this one. The international answer is strong(people's and market's reaction), and they probably will decide to reduce the amount they will take from you. Maybe 3% for less than 100,000€, and 12,5% for more than 100,000€. But it's a theft. A red line has been crossed and you should protest for it. They are going after you, and then, after us. Fuck the IMF and leave the UE, you have plenty of gas and a lot of british tourists and russian tourists that would be willing to come to your shores.
All the best
Well said , we all need to pull together, this IS a test, and if it goes ahead it sets a VERY dangerous precedent, and will be used across europe. That is why the Percentage has been reduced, they are not going to abandon it, they need it to get passed, even if it was 1%, they would be happy, because it sets the precedent. Why has ca-MORON paid the british armed forces 'levy' and NOT the expats as well. I'll tell you why, they need to keep the armed forces ON-SIDE for whats coming down the line. ca-MORON does not want the armed forces sussing out the reality, but he is a bit slow, they know. In the UK they are still recruiting with fancy adverts, yet in Cyprus and elsewhere they are being made redundant and being told to join the police and the TA.
