The pandemic reveals inequality
- It is not true that the pandemic affects all citizens and has no political or social colour. Like disasters, the coronavirus does not equally affect the poor and rich, regular or precarious, indigenous or immigrant workers.
We do not have data to compare the impact of the pandemic by sector in the Basque Country. But we have data from Madrid, which has been the epicenter of the pandemic in the Spanish state. People infected per 100,000 inhabitants show that the coronavirus is being primed in the most vulnerable sectors. The municipality with the highest income in the Community of Madrid, Pozuelo de Alarcón, has 595 cases, the poorest, Villa del Prado, with 1,212.
The difference has also been made with confinement. It's not the same to live on a 100-square-meter floor as on a 25-40-meter floor. It is not the same to suffer an STD as to work in precarious conditions. It is not the same, especially in this situation, to be autochthonous or to be an immigrant as to live in pawn weights. And the way out of this pandemic will not be the same for each other.
Because inequality is still there, as a result of the capitalist system. In the midst of the disaster, large companies, especially banks and electricity, have had millionaire profits and dividends will be distributed. Iberdrola President Sánchez Galán has reported that in 2019 €3,406 million was earned. And he wants to deal with the bad reputation he creates, giving little handouts to buy medical supplies.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of jobs will disappear; self-employed and small businesses will be forced to lower their shutters. And banks and multinational companies will continue to accumulate profits at the expense of the weakest, if we don't build a big wall to deal with this cruel and unjust model.
