As part of the dynamic "STOP Impoverishment", the Charter of Social Rights launched on Thursday an initiative for decent income in Bilbao and Pamplona. Between October and November, conferences, workshops and mobilisations are denouncing that the financial, energy and economic elites in general are causing the majority impoverishment. In 2021, there are 103,000 more people in poverty than in 2008, 44% more.

Given this deteriorating situation, ELA Secretary General Amaia Muñoa and LAB General Coordinator Garbiñe Aranburu have explained that social benefits are increasingly scarce, according to Naiz. For example, Income Guarantee Income (IGR) should be increased according to the increase in the minimum wage, as established by law, but the Basque Government is not complying with it. Trade union representatives say that this income is almost €300 lower than it should have, and that this mainly affects women, who generally receive the lowest wages and pensions.

The Social Charter has asked the Government of Lakua, Navarre and Spain for stable and effective policies to end poverty, “not to guarantee the hunger of the elites”. In Naiz you can read that in 2021 Ibex 35 companies have gained 83% more than in 2019.

The next and final quote of the dynamic "STOP Impoverishment" will be the demonstrations of 19 November that have been called in order to demand "policies for the benefit of workers" in Vitoria, San Sebastian, Bilbao and Pamplona. Among others, the Charter of Social Rights claims a minimum wage of €1,400 and a minimum pension of €1,260.
