I'Unfortunately this is going off topic, however, related. I still live here in Spain, the same chronyism is still endemic. Whilst the majority of Spanirds are hard working, the elite, still are still freeloading. My wife would like to return to work, however, despite the crisis, she would be discriminated against left right and centre because jobs, unless it's a non Spanish company, go to family members first, then Spaniards. So much for equality in the European Union'
It's not off topic because it emphasises the mindset that has allowed IB to wait this long before doing what it must.
