https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE).

The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
