Martxoaren 17an Bilbon egindako mobilizazioa

They say they will continue to proclaim “decent pensions” and will not give up until they have a “decent” income of 1,080 euros. The organizers want to repeat the success achieved in the mobilizations of March 17.

Xabier Isasa, spokesperson for the pensioners’ platform in Bizkaia, said that the demonstrations have been convened with the intention of giving a unified structure to the meetings that take place every Monday in cities and towns. The first will be at the state level and the second, for the moment, will only be held in two capitals of the Basque Country. On both occasions he has asked the citizens to go out to the streets, since the governments of Madrid, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Pamplona must listen to the demands of the people.
