Xavier Pericay wants to bring back a hard work ethic

The Spanish writer Xavier Pericay is delighted by the fact that certain European political leaders are lauding the respect of a hard work ethic. "The victory of Nicolas Sarkozy in France rested on an idea that is utterly innovative in a society that for decades has been suckled by the state, considering this a practically natural right. The idea is work, the value of work. ... The conviction that effort is a value and that a society that wants to be competitive should teach its citizens this spirit of surpassing oneself, of constant ambition, the will to improve oneself. ... Now that the vote has been cast [local and regional elections took place in Spain on May 27th], and that, in the best case scenario, the next election will be held in nine months time, all political leaders would be well-advised to keep the French president's example in mind. Either we rehabilitate work ethos or Spain ... will sooner or later find itself featuring as an extra in the world."
