On April 4, the income tax declaration campaign begins in Bizkaia, and the CNTcalls for a tax objection ---- "The Tax Objection is an act of collective andnonviolent civil disobedience, it is the refusal to collaborate financially withthe State - through the income statement (IRPF) - in the financing of unfair andharmful items" they point out from the anarcho-syndicalist centralAnother year, groups, associations and unions call for tax objection. "What isbeing pursued is, in a collective and organized way, to show our opposition tocertain investments by the Government, to put pressure on the State so that itdoes not spend our money on unfair items, to generate a social debate about themodel of society that we want, to promote with the money diverted transformativeprojects and, finally, use a tool that empowers us and allows us to beprotagonists in the construction of that other possible world", point out theorganizers. Alternative destinations are proposed, since the Tax Objection allowsthe diverted money to be allocated to groups or initiatives that develop sociallytransformative tasks: solidarity groups, feminists, environmentalists,anti-militarists, anti-racists, anti-capitalists, etc. To promote construction ofa just world, it is necessary to strengthen these true social "defenses" as analternative to the supposed "militaristic defense." Last year, nearly 100,000euros were diverted through this channel.To facilitate the Tax Objection, the groups that "we promote this campaign openoffices in Bilbao, Donostia and Vitoria-Gasteiz to make the income statement freeof charge with the Tax Objection", have clarified from CNT. The start of thecampaign in Bizkaia is brought forward to April 4 (in Araba and Gipuzkoa it isApril 19). "From that day on, each and every one of us will receive a letter withthe result of the draft of the declaration and other information, and theconsultation of the draft and the delivery of the income tax return can only bedone by electronic means, " they detail. "It is important that you do not submitit, since, in that case, it would not be possible to do it again with taxobjection in the Eragozpen Fiskala office," they remark from CNT.As of Monday, April 19, appointments will begin for the tax objection office, andfor this, you can call from April 19, Monday to Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00p.m. to the number 609 469 599. All information can be found athttps://www.eragozpenfiskala.org/In the following lines you can read the statement:NO TO WARS. DISARM YOUR TAXES WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR INCOME DECLARATION. DO #TaxObjectionWar is the greatest crime against humanity. Crime that is committed against thepopulation of numerous countries around the world, and that in 2022 has alsointensified in Europe after the Russian aggression and the war in Ukraine, aswell as the militarism of NATO. Causing thousands of deaths and millions ofdisplaced.Before the outbreak of this war, the consequences of armed conflicts also reachedEurope, in the form of thousands of people fleeing the suffering caused by thearmies, in Yemen, Syria or the more than 20 countries in which the Spanish Stateintervenes militarily . Faced with this situation, the EU squanders huge amountsof money to militarize the borders, prevent refuge for people who need it andperpetuate their situation of lack of protection and violation of their mostbasic rights.The outbreak of war in Ukraine will only bring suffering and a more unjust world.The response of the member countries of the EU and NATO does not invite us tolook to the future with optimism, since their actions were never aimed atlowering the military escalation, neither before nor after Russia began theinvasion. The Spanish State has collaborated in this escalation by sendingoffensive military material. It is completely unfeasible and profoundly unfair toseek a solution to the conflict through the violence of the States; no armydefends peaceAlready prior to this war, the trend of waste in military spending increased yearafter year in NATO member states, to the point that in Spain it exceeded €700 perperson. Now, several countries like Germany are in favor of massively increasingthese military spending, and more European colleagues are expected to follow suit.The main task of the armies is to ensure the maintenance of capitalism; theprocess of destruction and plundering of natural resources, as well as defendingtransnational companies that plunder impoverished countries, which have draggedthe planet towards a devastating climate crisis.The construction of a fairer world entails fighting for the eradication of allits causes. One of them is its financing. Given the growing waste of public moneyon military spending, we are firmly committed to making a Tax Objection toMilitary Spending in the next income statement.The tax objection is the refusal to collaborate financially with the state infinancing wars. It is an act of civil disobedience and consists of not payingpart of the taxes to allocate this amount to other citizen initiatives that workon the construction of alternatives of a transformative and supportive nature.In 2021, the tax objection continued to consolidate in the CAV, where almost 200people stood up to the financing of the armies and decided that part of theirtaxes should be used for projects that contribute to a fairer and more supportivesociety: environmental initiatives, Human Rightsor the media were some of the alternative destinations for their taxes, to whicharound €17,900 were allocated.One more year we open Tax Objection offices in Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz andDonostia, where, by prior appointment and free of charge, we will make the IncomeStatement applying Tax Objection.
