Bilbao celebrates the "gift" of European funds with a coffin

  • The members of the Manu Robles-Arangiz Institute have "celebrated" in Bilbao the EUR 750 billion that will be "given away" with European funds Next Generation EU, with a humorous action. As they have denounced, this money "is totally conditioned" by the situation in the country.

Bilbon hilkutxa baten inguruan, Dotore azaldu dira europar funtsen "ospakizunera".

The members of the Manu Robles-Arangiz Institute and the ELA union have made a humour action in Bilbao on Thursday, with the Iberdrola Tower on the horizon. Elegantly dressed, they have "celebrated" the arrival of European funds, dancing a well-known Spanish song by Eurovision, in the vicinity of a coffin.

As you have explained, this "gift" is going to be, at the same time, "our grave", as its funds will be "absolutely conditioned" and will allow, among other things, to reform pensions and to maintain the Spanish labour reform of Mariano Rajoy. "If the money comes, it will be for big companies and big projects. European funds are a little more in this model that has brought us to the emergency. The Next Generation gift is a coffin for future generations."
