Unemployment, the right to ex-prison

  • They are made to comply with the laws, to be complied with by the citizens, but above all by those who have done the law, who are the State and its governments. However, the Spanish State does not comply, there are the cases of the Basque Statute and the Navarre Convention; nor does it comply with the law governing unemployment benefits for ex-prisoners, nor in the case of common prisoners, but in the case of politicians. This behaviour affects the Basque political prisoners who are gradually taking to the streets.

According to current legislation, ex-prisoners are entitled to an aid of EUR 426 per month for one and a half years, provided that they are not discharged from the Social Security Service. However, the Spanish Government does not pay them, even though the Constitutional Court has ordered them to do so. In view of what Strasbourg has done with the Parot doctrine, the pp and UPyD immediately agreed not to comply with the ruling in favour of ex-prisoners and amended the General Social Security Act. Advocates of the law thus understand some rules and are not ashamed to use them according to their exclusionary interests, in this case, against prisoners who have left the street.

In addition to breaching its laws, the Spanish State uses a strategy of revenge against men and women who serve their sentences and own all their rights. They want to spread the pain and plunge former political prisoners into precariousness. Judges should not be accomplices to such discrimination and illegality and should automatically pursue the violent attitude of the State. The unemployment benefit, also paid by the taxpayers of the Basque Country, is also a right of former Basque political prisoners.
