Excavator of capitalism
- A former worker dismissed by the company Mercedes-Benz hit with a excavator the emblem of the company: high-end vans, almost 100,000 euros each. They are the consequences of a capitalist system based on labor exploitation that seeks only benefits.
A 38-year-old worker from Miranda de Ebro, dismissed by the Mercedes-Benz company, stole a excavator in the Gipuzkoan town the day before. After travelling 20 kilometers, he went to the car park of the company in the Jundiz polygon of Vitoria-Gasteiz and faced more than 50 new vans, which are supposedly the "treasure" of the German car company. According to official sources, no personal damage has been reported, but material damage of more than EUR 5 million has taken place.
It is not the first time that a company worker has reacted violently. In the French State, 38 Telecom workers committed suicide between 2008 and 2009. In Hego Euskal Herria there have also been several people who have stayed in the street, evicted, when they have stayed in the street. In the demonstrations against the restructurings of yesteryear, there was a very common cry: "Dismissed worker, hanging pattern." They are the consequences of a capitalist system based on labor exploitation that seeks only benefits.
The operator, fired by Mercedes-Benz, has not committed suicide, as he has hit the emblem of the company that left him on the street: high-end vans, almost 100,000 euros each. It has not attacked the used cars of other workers, the patron or those responsible for their dismissal, as reported by the Basque Department of Security.
He was aware of what he was doing, because he thought he would not see the people he loved again: his partner, his dog and his people. The current Penal Code, which does not understand any of the social consequences of an economic crisis, is accused of causing harm to women. Let those who judge the worker look at another recent judgment:the French judges have blamed the Telecom officials ten years later for a moral persecution against the workers.
The excavator, it is true, was used by the dismissed worker. However, the capitalist system pushed him to it.
