Protests by the more than 1,500 workers who work directly and indirectly in La Naval may also lead to a single focus. This working group has the capacity to mobilize and we will certainly notice it. Other workers live in the same situation, but they cannot bring their voice to the streets. We must not forget that in 30 companies in crisis in the CAPV 6,000 people work, to which must be added those operating in other small businesses, self-employed suppliers with small work equipment.
Lehendakari Urkullu asks (don't you know?) how it can happen if you have orders from La Naval – you are building four ships. The answer is clear: these kinds of situations arise because funding fails, banks that seek immediate benefits fail. And the banks are now blackmailing the Basque Government to ensure that it will pay the shipyard’s debts. Only in this way will they resume funding. We need a public bank that aims to strengthen the Basque industry and maintain current jobs, because that is the future of our youth – the unemployment rate among young people is 50% – and that is where Kutxabank should be.
We are going to do it wrong now if we just focus on La Naval because its employees have moved, while we forget other small and medium-sized enterprises. Political decision-makers are obliged to deal with the situation beyond La Naval.
