“Basque companies sold products worth almost EUR 200 million to Israel in 2022 at the level of Australia or Canada.” “Turnover of around 300 million is expected in 2023” (Eustat). "In the Middle East, Israel is a priority learning partner" (Government 2020 Internationalisation Strategy Report).

There are companies in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country that have particular economic interests in the destruction of Palestine, and in this case they are also companies that have the power to influence public policies because the institutions have that possibility.

The acceleration of economic activity announced and planned by the Department of Economy of the Basque Government by the end of 2023 and 2024 will also be reflected in the Gross Domestic Product of that territory. Therefore, in calculating the wealth generated in the CAPV, the ongoing massacre in Gaza should be collected as a source of wealth. Reading someone may seem too simplistic, but if we look at the back of economic growth in its entirety and in its crudity, we will find them.

This business cannot be justified. The jobs that are created, that this employment gives not only to workers, but also to social security; the importance of having a productive structure and a solid industrial sector in our economic and social development ... there are no handles. But we have to analyze and think every time statistics institutes update and publish GDP data.

It is known that it does not include the care work performed in the homes, and that it is data that flees from the richness generated by popular initiatives. Above all, however, the indicator conceals this background of economic growth mentioned above. It is, of course, the background that we must willingly undress and that we must bring to light.
