A "Tanguy" Spanish dislodged from nest

Madrid Match - His parents fed him with modest incomes, money laundering, paying the monthly installments of his car and endured his wrath. But for this 25-year Spanish student, whose identity was protected, it was not enough. With its modest legal knowledge (the Andalusian Tanguy had validated only three subjects in its first year of law), he filed a complaint against her parents require EUR 400 monthly pocket money.

His story has not moved the trial court in Malaga, Andalusia. Quite the contrary, the magistrate José Luis Utreg obliges ungrateful to leave home within thirty days. And his verdict, revealed by the local newspaper Diario On April 21, does not spare the young idler. If the son needs a pension, it is not because of his parents but "its academic misconduct." It will not complete his studies before, at best, four or five years, said the judge, for whom this delay is even more "offensive when compared to the socioeconomic level of parents, two unskilled workers" .

His father is dustman and his mother worked in the hospitality industry. Worse, the hearing revealed that the son was assaulting "verbally or physically" his parents too patient. The atmosphere at home was unbearable, testified one of his brothers. "Tanguy" has shown that it could "make small transactions on the stock market", he is able to earn a living today, has finally decided the judge.

Worried, the parents have committed to pay him a monthly pension of 200 euros for two years to prevent it from falling into a "sudden situation of non-assistance". The case revives debate in Spain on the Ni-Ni ", these young people who live at home without studying or working, and are especially hard to find an occupation.

The crisis highlights the Spanish tradition that was that, even in economic boom, young people to emancipate themselves as 30 years. The image stuck with "Ni-Ni" is an amorphous generation who did not rebel, despite an unemployment rate climbing to 43% in less than 25 years. A record in Europe.

According to a survey Metroscopia, half of young Spaniards were especially motivated or interested in any future project. According to the Spanish Youth Council, these "Tanguy" resigned only a small minority, only 6% of 16-35 years, while nearly 850 000 young people do not get jobs despite their efforts.

Still shy, mobilization also seems to take shape after more than three years of crisis. Some 5,000 people gathered under the banner of Youth without a future protested in Madrid in early April, with the slogan: "No home, no work, no pension and without fear."
