Why can the Left not go beyond the dependencies on the Right and make its own policy?

In other words, why has the PSOE lost its left-wing character when it was in the government? Why did he not anticipate the global crisis coming from the United States? European Union (EU). Because we are in Europe and, among other things, because the Left has no capacity to impose left-wing policies, neither to maintain the welfare state, nor to help when Greece and the rest of the Greeks have come to less than public debt. The crisis came, but the European Bank soon took action. However, the PSOE Government was not able to act in time or coordinate with any other European Socialist Party. European policies are those established by Merkel and Sarkozy. Spain is in the G20, but it does not bring any benefit to our economy. In order to change the situation, we have to bring together the values of the left and the passion for struggle.

Or we're not going to recover the welfare model of the state that we built, that they're going to fall. If the majority of the population loses essential public services, privacy prevails in Europe.

What are the steps to get out of that path?

Transforming the economic system: controlling financial speculative markets and tax havens, homogenising and coordinating taxation between countries. It's the only way to transform the capitalist system that leads to failure. The change is chimera, but we cannot give up. The financial system has brought states to their knees and affected companies. To begin with, the first steps must be taken by the European Parliament. Complex measures which will only be developed on the left-hand side.

Are citizens aware of this?

What I want is for the EU Government to be elected by the people by direct vote. The institutions of the EU Government must be democratised, there is a lot of confusion there and they are far from the public’s knowledge. Democratize and monitor the power bodies in Brussels, including the media. We have to know what each group votes for. So far it has been considered a second-rate parliament, but now the citizens are realizing that very important things are being resolved there. In the Basque Country we have good autonomy and taxation, but look, if the EU Government calls into question ...
