Alberto degrees 20 m that for entities is a price to pay for some services rendered, for many serves for even more profit to a few executives with exorbitant salaries. Despite the economic crisis, the commissions have increased in recent years. The banks and have various committees. Commissions. That Word hated when we rrimos to banks and savings banks. That for financial institutions is a price to pay for some services, for many citizens, not to say most, is a mechanism for even more profit to companies whose executives a year earn exorbitant salaries.

Even the Minister of labour and immigration, Valeriano Gomez, commented that the obscene salaries of bankers are behind the emergence of the financial crisis. Crisis. Another damn Word. It is not surprising that every time you look at more with magnifying glass that is paid by a bank account or make a transfer. Neither the bad economic situation in recent years has curbed banks at the time of reduce their commissions.

The Dutch court that has tried the Dutch anti-Muslim leader, Geert Wilders, for incitement to hatred and discrimination, today dictates judgment.

They were judges, in view of the particular complaint filed by anti-racist groups and immigrants, which prompted the statement. In the hands of the Court is now to decide if a politician can express whatever he wants in the context of their work. Or, as the plaintiffs claim, whether to stop him because his ideas are insulting and promote segregation of communities resident in the country.
