Collectives have criticized the PNV’s support for the approval of the Spanish budgets, denouncing that this entails a reduction in social spending and an increase in military spending. Collectives have indicated that in the budgets approved on Wednesday, the budget destined for the Ministry of Defense increases by 7%. “To this must be added the increase in military spending of up to 2% of the GDP announced through the ‘New Investment Cycle in Defense Matter’ program: the first phase of this includes seven weapons purchase programs for a value of 11 billion euros”, they add.

The protest has also been used to denounce the waste of public resources in large infrastructures. According to the data provided, the EUR 156.2 million allocated by the Lakua Government for AVE works must be added to the EUR 299 million allocated from public funds.
