Simplify Administration, yes, but for whom?

PalmSimplifying the administration not only sounds good, it's essential. In nearly five decades of democracy, a regulatory mess has emerged that is as overwhelming as it is desperate. Just look at how processing a grant requires an absurd amount of documentation, including some certificates issued by the very administration that requests them.

Therefore, simplification is welcome, as long as it primarily aims to save time, paperwork, and headaches for citizens and businesses. However, when you read and analyze the various regulations approved by the majority of the PP and Vox, or the latest decree law by Marga Prohens' government, it becomes clear that there are priorities. And the priorities are clear: ensuring that companies with large projects can develop them without the "hassles" imposed by many regulations. Helping to process a project is not the same as helping it a little more and making it possible to enter a field where it is not permitted. Or where, at the very least, an environmental report is needed, which is no longer necessary.

This government didn't invent this, far from it. The exceptionalities and tailored laws at the Nadal Academy have already demonstrated how the political class has a certain tendency to help those who perhaps need it least. I can think of many interesting and diversifying initiatives in the real estate and tourism sectors, which are still very much under-funded and, above all, without any regulatory exceptions for them. And, precisely, they lack the economic dimension that the government's latest regulation rewards. Young micro-entrepreneurs, musicians, artists, researchers, farmers, artisans. All of these need their lives simplified.
