Last weekend several solidarity groups met in Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz to show their indignation at the death of Veronica. Veronica, who was raised, has been the victim of a ruthless and exploitative system. The 28-year-old Nicaraguan, with a daughter of 9, died on 13 October in Derio, in the same house that looked after the dependent person. His heart burst by not being able to endure the 24-hour days. Seven days a week without rest or leave, not even to go to see the doctor. Slavery is old and new what this capitalist system brings us: neither labor rights, nor time limits, nor social security...

In our society there are many Veronicas and many families who, although they can overcome the conditions of capitalism, lean towards them. They use the law to justify the working conditions imposed on their employees. Veronica's death should give much to think about unions and institutions. Under what conditions do marginalized and invisible groups who work in the home and in care act? It is true that union demands are generally aimed at improving the conditions of people who already work. That is the case. But what do they offer to the most exploited people? What about those who work in the home, those who are unemployed or migrants without papers?

How many Veronica do you really have to die to commit to these groups? The capitalist system is as cruel as it is a murderer. But unions and institutions have the capacity to offer alternatives and avoid situations such as that in Veronica. We only need political will and union, and solidarity.
