Agi: In 170mila per 1490 posti al concorso Ue. Il 45% dei candidati è italiano

AGI - Sono più di 170mila gli iscritti al concorso aperto dall'Ufficio europeo di selezione del personale (Epso) per 1490 posti nella lista di riserva per un impiego presso le istituzioni europee. Lo ha comunicato l'Epso stesso, in un comunicato in cui definisce tale cifra come "ben oltre qualsiasi aspettativa" (ci si attendevano 50/60mila partecipanti).
La scadenza per l'iscrizione al concorso era fissata per ieri alle 12:00. Secondo i dati pubblicati dal portale Euractiv, l'Italia è di gran lunga la nazione più rappresentata tra i partecipanti al concorso: dei 174.922 iscritti, ben 79.450 sono italiani, circa il 45%. Una circostanza che rende il percorso per i partecipanti italiani ancora più difficile, dato che, secondo gli obiettivi interni della Commissione europea per gli equilibri nazionali all'interno delle istituzioni, gli italiani dovrebbero costituire circa l'11,2% degli impiegati presso la Commissione stessa.
Dati sui partecipanti, stipendi e precedenti concorsi
Seguono, ampiamente distanziati, gli spagnoli (13.795), i tedeschi (11.705) e i francesi (10.939). Coloro che rientreranno tra i 1490 vincitori potranno candidarsi ad un posto di livello AD5, che equivale a un salario mensile tra i 6mila e i 7mila euro. L'ultimo concorso generalizzato di questo tipo per un posto nelle istituzioni europee risaliva al 2019, e allora i partecipanti furono circa 22mila.

170,000 applied for the 1490-seat EU competition. 45% of the candidates are Italian.

AGI - More than 170,000 people have registered for the competition opened by the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) for 1490 positions in the reserve list for employment with European institutions. This was communicated by the EPSO itself in a statement, which defines this figure as “well beyond any expectations” (50/60,000 participants were expected to take part).
The deadline for registration for the competition was set for yesterday at 12:00. According to data published by the Euractiv portal, Italy is by far the most represented nation among the competition participants: of the 174,922 registered, a total of 79,450 are Italian, approximately 45%. A circumstance that makes the journey for Italian participants even more difficult, given that, according to internal objectives of the European Commission for national balances within the institutions, Italians should make up approximately 11.2% of employees at the Commission itself.
Data on Participants, Salaries, and Previous Competitions
Following closely are Spaniards (13,795), Germans (11,705) and French (10,939). Those who will be among the 1490 winners will be able to apply for a level AD5 position, which corresponds to a monthly salary between 6,000 and 7,000 euros. The last general competition of this type for a position in European institutions dates back to 2019, when participants were approximately 22,000.

Il Tempo: Germania, Ozdemir trionfa nel Baden-Wurttemberg: serve economia forte

Stoccarda, 9 mar. (askanews) - Da figlio di "lavoratori ospiti" (Gastarbeiter) turchi al trionfo come Ministro-Presidente del Baden-Wurttemberg. In Germania, Cem Ozdemir, 61enne candidato di punta dei Verdi e simbolo dell'integrazione turca, erediterà la poltrona da Winfried Kretschmann: dopo 15 anni e a 77 anni, quest'ultimo si è ritirato, mentre i Verdi hanno conquistato una storica vittoria alle elezioni regionali nel Land.
Nato il 21 dicembre 1965 a Bad Urach (distretto di Reutlingen) in Svevia, Ozdemir è cresciuto come figlio unico. I suoi genitori arrivarono in Germania come "Gastarbeiter" all'inizio degli anni '60, dove si conobbero e si innamorarono. Dopo il diploma di scuola secondaria, completò un apprendistato come assistente all'infanzia a Reutlingen nel 1987; inizialmente orientato al mondo del lavoro, optò poi per il titolo di ammissione universitaria in una scuola professionale di N rtingen, seguito da un percorso accademico e un'esperienza come giornalista freelance.
I "Gastarbeiter" erano immigrati - soprattutto italiani, spagnoli, jugoslavi, greci e turchi - reclutati dalla Germania Ovest tra il 1955 e il 1973 per far fronte alla carenza di manodopera durante il boom economico.

Germany, Ozdemir triumphs in Baden-Württemberg: a strong economy is needed.

Stuttgart, March 9 (askanews) – From being the son of Turkish “guest workers” (Gastarbeiter) to triumph as Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg. In Germany, Cem Ozdemir, a 61-year-old leading candidate for the Greens and symbol of Turkish integration, will inherit the seat from Winfried Kretschmann: after 15 years and at 77 years old, the latter retired, while the Greens have won a historic victory in the regional elections in the Land.

Born December 21, 1965, in Bad Urach (Reutlingen district) in Swabia, Ozdemir grew up as a single child. His parents arrived in Germany as “Gastarbeiter” at the beginning of the 1960s, where they met and fell in love. After completing secondary school, he completed an apprenticeship as a childcare assistant in Reutlingen in 1987; initially oriented towards the world of work, he then opted for the admission title to university at a vocational school in N rtingen, followed by an academic path and experience as a freelance journalist.

The “Gastarbeiter” were immigrants – primarily Italians, Spaniards, Yugoslavs, Greeks, and Turks – recruited by West Germany between 1955 and 1973 to address the labor shortage during the economic boom.

“Going from 2% to 5% by 2035 would require spending an additional €350bn, which could only be achieved by raising taxes for each worker by approximately €3,000 annually; eliminating unemployment, sickness, and maternity benefits; reducing all pensions by 40%; or halving state investment in education.”

But it would reduce the probability that #Spaniards would have to learn #Russian.

Melchora Aquino (January 6, 1812 – February 19, 1919) was a #Filipino revolutionary. Aquino was known as "Tandang Sora" (tandang means "old") because of her old age during the #Philippine #Revolution (1896-1899). She was known by Philippine revolutionary soldiers as Tandang Sora, an acknowledgement of her wisdom & seniority. She was considered a Filipino counterpart to British nurse, Florence Nightingale. She was also known as the "Grand Woman of the Revolution" & "Mother of Balintawak" for her contributions.

Aquino was born on the feast of the Epiphany & named after Melchior, one of the Three Wise Men. She was the daughter of peasants, Juan & Valentina Aquino & she never attended school. Yet, she was literate at an early age. Also talented as a singer. She performed at community events & at Mass for church. She was often chosen for the role of Reyna Elena during the "Santacruzan", a big pageant commemorating Empress Helen's finding of the Cross of Christ, celebrated in the #Philippines in May.

Her husband, Fulgencio Ramos, a cabeza de barrio (village chief) died when their youngest child was 7 & she was left as a single parent for their 6 children. Tandang Sora continued life as an hermana mayor, active in celebrating fiestas, baptisms & weddings. She worked hard to give her children an education. She became a self taught nurse & her medical services helped to save many lives during the Philippine Revolution.

Aquino operated a store, which became refuge for revolutionaries. In 1896, when she was 84 years old, the Philippine revolution began. Her store served as a make-shift hospital where she provided medical care for sick/wounded revolutionists. She also provided food, shelter, encouragement, and prayers for the soldiers, even hosting 1,000 men in her home’s yard during the Cry of Balintawak. Secret meetings of the #Katipuneros ( #AntiColonialism revolutionaries) were often held at her house. She & her son, Juan Ramos, were present in the Cry of Balintawak & witnessed the tearing up of the cedulas(Spanish issued ID papers).

When the #Spaniards learned about her activities & her knowledge to the whereabouts of the Katipuneros, she was arrested by guardia civil on August 29, 1896. She was held captive in the house of a cabeza de barangay of Pasong Putik, Novaliches. Then transferred to Bilibid Prison in Manila. While in prison, she was interrogated & refused to divulge information. She was deported to Guam, Marianas Islands by Governor General Ramón Blanco. In Guam, she & a woman named Segunda Puentes were placed under house arrest in the residence of a Don Justo Dungca.

After the United States took control of the Philippines in 1898, Tandang Sora, like other exiles, returned to the Philippines in 1903. She later became an active member of the Philippine Independent Church.

She died at her daughter Saturnina's house in Banlat on February 19, 1919, at the age of 107. She received full state honors after her death. After years of being unnoticed for her efforts in the revolution. Her remains were first interred at the Mausoleum of the Veterans of the Revolution at the Manila South Cemetery. These were then transferred to the Himlayang Pilipino Memorial Park in Quezon City in 1970 & finally at the Tandang Sora National Shrine in 2012.
