The <\/span>publication<\/span><\/a> in recent days of a <\/span>list<\/span><\/a> of \u201cactivities where self-employment is not allowed\u201d has generated a feverish exchange of opinions on social networks that, unfortunately, has had almost no echo in the state press.<\/span>1<\/b><\/p>\n

It is a long-awaited step within the framework of the already agreed transformations and that materializes the decision to replace the insufficient list of allowed self-employment activities with another, in principle laxer, that specifies those that are not allowed and opens the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems appropriate to specify and highlight two interesting details: on the one hand, it is a document that presents the activities that cannot be carried out as a self-employed worker, but that\u2014at least, for now\u2014does not explicitly limit their exercise under other forms of management such as cooperatives or SMEs.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, it is accompanied by a prudent <\/span>clarification<\/span><\/a>: that \u201cthis list could be modified based on the process of conciliation of legal norms, currently in the process of being drawn up.\u201d It is becoming a common practice to disseminate the policies approved before promulgating the legal norms, in order to influence public opinion and allow a certain degree of participation in their elaboration. It seems essential to seize this opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the aforementioned list there are prohibitions that, as they are not accompanied by a timely foundation, are difficult to understand and accept. Some are so strange and unnecessary that they show the urgent need for a more accurate review. Others are more controversial, such as those related to professional, scientific and technical activities (section M) and, more specifically, to architecture and engineering activities (prohibition number 81), which is in sharp contrast to the broad permissiveness of the section generically referring to constructive activity, where, a priori, absolutely nothing is prohibited.<\/span><\/p>\n
