leon portrait
»I broke up my apprenticeship as I couldn´t see any prospects of working in my job. Now I am about to pass an exam as a life–guard to be able to get a summer job. Our parents used to be teachers at public schools but they lost their jobs due to cost–cutting measures. Together, we try everything to pay for the rent now.
As I only speak Spanish, I couldn´t work in another country in Europe. Our politicians like Zapatero and Rajoy have ruined our country.
They shouldn't be surprised when more and more people work illegally or steal. People simply try to get some money, no matter what.«
— Leon, 18 years old, twin brother of Valentin, broke up an apprenticeship in car mechanics
