Arming pensions and equality
- The time has come to deliver on the promises that were made in the Spanish elections on 10 November.
Nuances in the nuances, all the political parties – both in the Spanish State and in the Basque Country South – have stood in favour of decent pensions and claim equality between women and men, both in the social and in the labour sphere. Both pensions and equality affect us all, whether we are old or young. The time has therefore come for us to call for these promises to be kept.
The Government of Spain that is set up after the election night should take the necessary measures to shield pensions and equality. But it would not only shield it, it would put it in value, and it should increase the minimum remuneration that millions of widows and citizens receive. Pensioners who are moving on the streets must be treated by pensioners and a minimum pension of EUR 1,200 must be established. Autonomous governments also have a responsibility in this area, as well as resources, to supplement these pensions. On equality, it is also clear: the same work, the same salary.
That requires money. And there are. How can we achieve this? Recovering the EUR 60 billion granted to banks in times of crisis; imposing a special tax on banks, large companies and multinationals; pursuing tax havens; reducing the bill for the military and the Royal House; returning the money stolen from corruption…
If this plan is to succeed, and if wages, health services or education are to be improved, it is enough to have political will. The responsibility lies with the Government of Spain, but also with Urkullu, Chivite and all those who have spoken during the legislature.
Remember when the first bite was: 28 April 2019. Because it coincided with the elections in Spain. It happened in the most stupid way: when he took the voting role of the party that always votes – by tradition, by conformism, even by a point of abouga – and put it in the... [+]
Zein udalerrietan izan da indartsuen EAJ? Zeinetan EH Bildu? Non bozkatu da gehien Ahal Dugu? Eta Vox non da indartsuen Euskal Herrian? Zein dira PSOEren indarguneak? Eta PPrenak? Kontsultatu guztia infografia interaktiboen bidez.
EAJk Bizkaiko azken diputatua galdu du PPren mesedetan, atzerriko botoengatik eta gaizki zenbatutako 200 boto ingururengatik.
Asteartean PSOEk eta Unidas Podemosek Espainiako Gobernua osatzeko akordioa sinatu zuten, baina bi alderdi horien batura ez da nahikoa inbestidura ziurtatzeko. Nola jokatuko du EAJk Madrilen dituen zazpi diputatuekin? Aitor Estebanek ez du gauza askorik argitu oraingoz.
It is no wonder that the Greek party Syriza and the former lehendakari Tsipras have not been seen or heard at all in this campaign, despite, I believe, the Greek experience. Deliberately forgotten to the people, but very present in the campaign designs. Remember the programme... [+]
"All politicians are equal." Every time I hear this phrase, I get impatience. The same impatience that I experience when I hear someone proclaim to be a politician or a citizen of the world.
It also happens to me with other rounds of another kind: they can be lighter – in a... [+]
Atzoko emaitzak ikusita, Espainiako Gorteetarako egin ziren lehen hauteskundeekiko konparaketa bat egin daiteke. Emaitza ez da berdina, baina badu antzeko kutsua 1977. urtean izan ziren hauteskundeekin konparatuz gero: alderdi askoren presentzia, zatiketa, nazioen presentzia... [+]
Atzo, Pablo Iglesiasek esan zion Pedro Sanchezi, lo gutxiago egingo zuela ultraeskuindarren gorakada ikusta, Podemos-eko ministro bat edo bi izanda. Ez dakit Pedro Sanchezek lo ondo egin duen ala ez, baina argi dagoena da, hauteskunde berriak konbokatu zituenean, Pedro Sanchezek... [+]
Atzo ere, hauteskunde eguna. Eta gaur, berriro ere, gertuko etorkizunaz hausnartzeko eguna. Egia esan, ez dakit zer hautatu dugun edota batzuek zer nahi zuten guk hautatzea. Adibidez, Sánchez hautagaiaren hitzetan, azaroaren 10ean ez ziren politikak bozkatzen, gobernua... [+]
PSOE eta Podemosen arteko akordioa gorabehera, berriro bozkatzera eraman nahi izan gaituzte gobernuaren osaketa alderdi independentisten esku zegoelako. Ez gaitezen engaina, Espainiako egoera ez da gobernua osatu ezinean sortutako blokeo politikoa, ez hori bakarrik bederen:... [+]
Espainiako Kongresurako eta Senaturako hauteskundeen errepikatzea izan da honakoa, 2015etik laugarrenak. Eta lehen galderak izan behar luke zertarako errepikatu dituen hauteskundeak apirileko deialdian irabazle izan zen PSOEk. Izan ere, azaroaren 10eko hauteskundeek joko zelai... [+]
Bigarren parteak ez dira oso maitatuak izaten arte guztietan. Politikan ere ez. Emaitzek déjà vu-tik gehiago dute berritik baino, baina badira pozteko pare bat arrazoi. Batetik, neofaxismoak Espainian izan duen goraldia gurean 1.300 boz gehiago eta zero ordezkari... [+]
