@LynAldenContact @JMZunzu https://t.co/xjZXcY2Ggp this also applied to the Virreinato in the American continent

The Spanish Empire established the 8-Hour Workday 300+ years before any Liberal Democracy

On this International Workers’ Day, let’s honour a remarkable yet often overlooked milestone in labour history: the world’s first legally mandated eight-hour workday, established by King Philip II of Spain in 1593.

Through the Ordenanzas de Felipe II, specifically Title VI, Law VI, the king decreed:

“All workers shall work eight hours a day, four in the morning and four in the afternoon, in fortifications and factories, scheduled at the most convenient times to avoid the sun’s intensity, as deemed appropriate by the engineers, ensuring that, without missing any possible work, their health and preservation are also considered.”

This pioneering regulation, documented in the Recopilación de Leyes de los Reinos de las Indias, applied not only to Spanish labourers but also extended to indigenous workers in the American viceroyalties. Notably, mine workers were granted a reduced workday of seven hours to safeguard their health.

Furthermore, indigenous communities operated under their own legal systems, known as “Indian republics,” where they elected their own mayors and maintained certain autonomies.

Centuries before the industrial labour movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, this royal decree recognized the importance of balancing work with health and rest. Today, we remember this early commitment to workers’ rights and continue to advocate for fair and humane labour practices worldwide.

@LynAldenContact La leyenda negra strikes again. The Anglos and Dutch propaganda of the time.
Recommend listening to any podcast from @JMZunzu around the topic and especially about Hernan Cortés.

In Spain, the president's family (wife and brother) has gone through court for alleged corruption and the highest rank among his party is also having problems with alleged corruption (one of them is already in jail). They weren't the most voted party but they negotiated with separatist and old members of ETA JUST to get into power. They now want to change the court/judge system so they can appoint their colleagues so they can never be investigated for corruption (judges have already gone in strike in protest) they are pushing illegal immigration while the young population has the highest unemployment in Europe, the rape and violence count has gone through the roof (yes it is what you suspect) and all is well diluted by mainstream media and TV (diluted because is too big to hide and they serve the government) EVEN journalist that are under the government payroll have started an initiative to expell independent journalists from the press hall because they make hard questions so the censure is at its peak with a deep reach of the government hand for information liberties. I could keep going but all this has created a massive social movement because the common person is being oppressed by high fiscal pressure, unemployment, government, mediocre institutions, corruption, violence, land destruction for solar panels, insecurity and worst of all, socialism. A few days ago, a young farmer hanged himself allegedly as manifested in his social account because of fiscal pressure, audits etc. Devastating.

@Edu_Riera_ Gracias Edu, me llamó la atención y me lo descargué. Me ha movido mucho hasta donde he leído.

Lo de hablar de “corruptores” (empresas) frente a corrompidos (políticos) es la enésima consigna exculpadora de los corruptos. No sólo porque, cuando interesa, se desvía el foco de atención desde el político a la empresa, sino porque: ¿de dónde sacamos que los corruptores no hayan sido los políticos?

Claro que cabe la posibilidad de que una empresa sea la corruptora, pero también es perfectamente factible que el corruptor sea el político: “o me pagas el 3%, o no ganas de ninguna manera este contrato de obra pública”.

¿Por qué se presupone en estos momentos que los corruptores han sido necesariamente las empresas (cuando podría no haberlo sido)? Para exculpar a los políticos corruptos a los que deseamos proteger (Rosa Nostra)

@Jongonzlz Gracias @Jongonzlz, para aquellos que estamos fuera de España es de agradecer la labor de divulgación que haces en temas tan importantes. Le di a follow a tu substack y compartiré. Salud!

Si el PP se corrompe cuando gobierna, si el PSOE se corrompe cuando gobierna, habrá que concluir que es el sistema el que está corrompido. Y mientras ese sistema no sea reparado, reformado y regenerado, desde sus cimientos, nada cambiará aunque lo haga el partido en el poder.

@GustavoBolsa Tranquilo, ya saldrán cuando gobierne la derecha. Ahí estarán los sindicatos movilizando, los medios de comunicación, etc. Mientras gobierne la izquierda el español medio es un percebe de sofá.

Resolverán el problema del modelo energético igual que resolvieron el problema de la sostenibilidad de las pensiones. Ignorándolo
