Wert vs. Erasmus, is he addicted to cuts?

Lately, the minister of health, education and sport, José Ignacio Wert, has stood out again in a negative way.

This time, he and his political colleagues have decided to cut the grants for Erasmus students who are already abroad. His aim is to cut them in order to provide grants to people with more difficulties.

This way, the Comission of the European Union has drawn the Spanish Parliament attention warning them not to proceed with this cut when students are already doing Erasmus as they should have been informed way earlier. Owing to this warning, Wert has rectified and has said he would apply it next year.

This controversial new decision has received lots of complaints from students in social networkings and students who are in this programme are ashamed and are dealing with nothing but anger.



The way I see it, this is not a fair decision as it's a facility for EVERYONE and grants should also be for EVERYONE. I think this decision above is another sign of his poor work quality and also a sign of his already shown incoherence (e.g. LOMCE).
