The latest statements ministry on the alleged increased investment in R + D + i for 2010 are an insult to all researchers. FJI / Precarious requires the Government to double discourse, is essential to a serious and decided to research in Spain.
The Minister for Science and Innovation, Cristina Garmendia, told the House of Congress on Wednesday November 18 that the INE statistics showed that the PSOE had spent more money on R & D + i in four years that PP 8. Minister Garmendia has had forgotten the appointment of the prime minister of Britain, Benjamin Disraeli, who said "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." We must remember that nothing is more perverse than to distort reality to deceive the public. The reality is that the increase of GDP in R + D + i for the period 2004-2008 was 64%, less than half of which took place in 1996-2004, which was 132%. After more than 5 years of Government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, is time we begin to argue with its own merits and demerits not to others. It's insulting that Minister Garmendia want to forget that these same figures show that English investment in R + D + i is in the 1.35% of GDP, far below the 2% that the PSOE's electoral program of 2004 marked as a target for 2010 and the height of tall European powers such as Estonia.
The budget cuts announced in Science (initially, 37%) achieved unanimous protest from the scientific community and society in general. The Government's response to this snip, criticized even by the Minister of Education, has been to make up the numbers, maintaining against all odds that there is a tiny increase of 0'29%, when the reality is that the Budget for to non-financial transactions (Chapters I to VII) decreases by 14.6%. The analysis of the budget for R + D + i reveals a large increase in financial allocations for credits and loans (62%), but down dramatically current expenses or services (-61 '8%) or the cap. VI (-25%), where they drink, among others, many human resource programs. In this regard, it should be noted that already this year has been a brutal cut in public employment opportunities in research and that both the 2008 and 2009, the Ministry has offered only half of postdoctoral support from other years.
anywhere, well, there are proposals to optimize the public R & D, improving budget execution of the games, limiting the bureaucracy that prevents stupid groups take full advantage of the resources obtained, schedule meetings and expedite its resolution, so that researchers can perform their best, and so on. Finally, the ultimate measure of the Government, the Plan Innpulso, is but an Opera Buffa including support for research and construction of bicycle lanes or expansion of landfills (is to locate the Ramón y Cajal researchers have just his contract and go to the street?)
is imperative that the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero stop fireworks. It is evident that the economies that have invested in R + D + i are those who have obtained a strong and sustained growth and are better prepared to face the famous crisis. The Government recognizes this, pretending to be interested, but it really does nada al respecto. FJI/PRECARIOS exige que el Sr. Zapatero decida si le interesa el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación más que como un jarrón con flores marchitas y la Dra. Garmendia si quiere ejercer de florero al que han amputado toda la parte de Universidades, segmentado la gestión global de la Carrera Investigadora, apartado de la negociación de asuntos importantes y con su tema estrella, la Ley de la Ciencia, paralizado desde hace meses. NO ES POSIBLE UNA ECONOMÍA SOSTENIBLE SIN INVERTIR EN CIENCIA
