#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SPAIN #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) #Spain, Solidaridad Obrera: ON HOLIDAYS THE RISK OF THEFT INCREASES (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 And we are not referring to small-time chorizos, because the great looting, of

public resources and rights, is carried out in neat offices and by white-collar
thieves. Let us remember, by way of example, the two laws on labor and pension
"theft-reforms" during Christmas last year, or how the debt scam (reform of
article 135 of the Constitution) was perpetrated by the PSOE and the PP one
summer night in 2011, without anyone knowing, with agony and treachery. ---- Now
there is an obscene duality: on the one hand, the enormous profits of companies
listed on the Stock Exchange: in the first half of 2022 they have obtained 31,685
million euros, which is added to the 64,021 they obtained in 2021. On the other
hand, the impoverishment caused by the above, among the working population, with
jobs without rights and that no longer provide for living, and misery pensions.
Already more than a quarter of the population is below the poverty line. The
increasingly inaccessible housing, and public services (health, education,
residences, social services...) deteriorated by cuts and privatizing greed.
The increase in prices so far this year has skyrocketed to 10.6% in July, and the
causes must be placed in those scandalous profits of companies, especially
electricity and energy, and their impact on basic products. Salaries and pensions
are not to blame for the increase in the cost of living, since, in fact, they
have lost purchasing power. That is why the more or less explicit messages that
"a great social agreement is imposed" and that "it is necessary that we all lend
a hand" are simply a crude and lying trap. What we must achieve is a fair
distribution of wealth, and not further impoverish the working people who
generate it.
The so-called "rents pact" that the economic and political elites have been
cooking up, with their "social agents" (CEOE and CEPYME employers, and CCOO and
UGT union leaders) hangs over our heads, and requires that we not neglect
ourselves in the face of careless ones According to the ultraliberal minister
Calviño, it is already "very greased" (understood as such, the slice that the
possible signatories take). A project of severe impoverishment of salaries and
pensions, to guarantee that the owners of the farmhouse will continue to make
ends meet. A kind of "Robin Hood in reverse", stealing again from the poor to
give to the already rich enough.
 From the COESPE Unit, together with the majority of organizations of the
Pensioner Movement, we have called a large demonstration in Madrid, for next
October 15, to jointly defend salaries and pensions, universal and quality public
services, and the rights labor and social. We must stop this dynamic and we can
do it.
But in the meantime, all of us must be vigilant, to give the appropriate response
in the event that it occurs to them to take advantage of the summer to impose new
sacrifices on the people, it is called an "income agreement", or whatever they
want to call it.
WHO GOVERNS, PENSIONS AND RIGHTS ARE DEFENDED
