The two have put on the public table the economic and social cuts affecting millions of pensioners, such as the lack of equality affecting millions of women. These situations, among others, require public investment by the State and the administrations.

The week has also shown us images that are pure publicity: those who have in their hand a large part of the political, economic and social solutions (governments, parliaments…), share the concerns and demands of women and pensioners. And we have seen this in the media, dressed in purple ties, making statements in favour of women or pensioners. The social and feminist tide, this time, has been so great that nobody has wanted to stay out of the picture. The votes are of great value, and everyone has wanted to attract what has happened to their field.

Let us not fool ourselves. It was 8 March, with massive mobilizations, and politicians who believe that this dynamic cannot last long have returned to the winter barracks. Social, feminist and grass-roots mobilizations must go ahead without taking a step backwards. It is time for those politicians and governments to honour their commitments and seek political solutions to respond to the demands on the street. It is a lie that there is no money for decent pensions and to close the wage gap on the road to equality. The problem is how we distribute the budgets and what priorities we give them. Not a half step back!
