Look at Peña, a 43-year-old Navarre worker, is currently the last deadly victim of this capitalist system. This system is indifferent to the human condition of these people at their service, it seeks nothing but benefits. Look, I lived alone and I had a 20-year-old daughter. He quit his life on March 21, after receiving a letter from his bank asking for forgiveness. He had problems paying the mortgage, as the unemployment benefit had been exhausted. In the letter, the bank informed him that it did not meet the requirements for renegotiation of the mortgage. There was still no eviction, but apparently that letter was the last drop for the dramatic situation to be overcome.
Look, she was affiliated with the LAB syndicate. He was dismissed in September 2013 with ten co-workers from the Orkoien Faurecia plant, which he supplies to Volkswagen. Without work, unemployment started to collect the benefit and paid the mortgage every month. But at the end of the benefit, difficulties arose in dealing with the mortgage. After receiving the letter from the bank, a meeting was convened at the Kutxa Labor Office on 23 March. After the line of exclusion and the fear of a possible eviction, Miren chose not to attend the meeting, since two days earlier his father had found her dead in his house of the village of Artika. He committed suicide. The capitalist arithmetic has been fulfilled: if you add the fear of eviction to the dismissal, you will be more likely to die.
Look, it will be neither the first nor the last, unfortunately. In Euskal Herria, many people have already committed suicide for two years, since they had to have been evicted, left in unemployment or for two causes at once. The last suicide of a worker also took place in Navarre, specifically that of a person who was expelled from the company Sunsunsundegui, in the municipality of Alsasua. I hope that these kinds of situations will lead us to build a different social economic system, one that respects human dignity first and foremost.
