Totally disconnected from poverty

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Baiona, from 18:00 hours, only some on the street: dogs, disobedient and a woman about sixty years old. The latter, a spacious and clean handbag in the armpit, which could be consuming shops per day on this same street in Spain. But the store doesn't, it records the street containers in the hope of finding something that fills the stomach. I've never seen it, and I've imagined that COVID-19 could be a victim of the social crisis: once I lost the precarious job I had, or social support ended, I've had to desert the supermarket or the street fruit store from the day after the next day. A acquaintance who works at Pôle Emploi just told me that among the hundred job seekers that follow there are about a dozen people living on the street, worried because he told me that I only had before COVID-19. We are in that: violent poverty strikes thousands of lives – last year it passed the barrier of ten million lives in France by 67 million people. Those of us who have our feet on earth can imagine this reality, more or less.

But from the end of the pyramid, the authorities that channel our lives don't know. François Bayrou is a Bearnese politician known as the High Commissioner of the French Plan, who is advising a government on social and economic challenges. “For me, the one who earns 4,000 euros a month is middle-class; we are not rich in receiving 4,000 euros of rent,” said the television journalist RTL. To locate: In France, 15% earn more than 3,000 euros, 30% earn less than 1,500 euros and 8% have more than 4,000 euros per month. The response of politician Jean-François Copé, who was the representative of both the Ministry of Budgets and the Ministry of the Interior in 2016, is of the same sour taste as the phrase “chocolate is worth 10 to 15 cents”.

As the political pyramid goes up, they're becoming more and more disconnected. At the same time, from the hermetic sphere of the rich in France every year it is the trillions who lose the tax in evasion. Disappointed with this reality, they're not so disconnected.
