- In recent days, deplorable images have been seen in the Igorre area. A Mondragon Group cooperative, Batz, enters the company Araluce to steal material with the help of police and eskiroles
The future of the 141 families is at stake, and the cooperative's response has been to send the police. Once again, the lack of rights of non-member workers in Basque cooperatives has become apparent.

The cooperatives of the Mondragon Group, which have become an example, have shown us time and again that their sole interest is the economic one. They show us the friendly face of capitalism and, at the same time, the lack of union work has turned workers into mere numbers without rights. It's curious, even though there's a lot of talk about ethics and morality, in the day to day they show that they don't. In the fourth cooperative principle of the Mondragon Group, for example, they claim the instrumental nature of capital. Meanwhile, Lagun Aro, who manages the pensions of most cooperatives, is dedicated to speculating with everyone’s savings. Beautiful hypocrisy!
The cooperatives of the Mondragon Group, on their way to becoming anonymous companies, are showing their true face in recent years. We have many examples. The invitation of one of the darkest and most corrupt characters in the Spanish State has been one of the hotspots to visit Arrasate during this tour. The Basque Country does not deserve or wants these cooperatives.
