Solidarity with the mobilized French people

The mass media, The EU and the governments are responsible for hiding or minimizing the French popular demand. You need to support your claims, How Marea Pensionista does in the Spanish State. The European labor movement fights for wage increases in the face of inflation, for their social and democratic rights. We must win the streets so that the capitalists pay for the crisis.

Since the government attack began, Millions of workers stage mobilizations against Macron's anti-retirement reform. The authoritarian decree did not stop the protests. Nor did repression and tear gas. Working people are also expressing their fatigue with inflation, insufficient wages and other social ills. The anger explodes with spontaneous mobilizations, organized strikes and clashes with the police.

The rising European working class

Workers' strikes take center stage also in the United Kingdom, in Greece, Italy and in Germany where a transport strike is taking place to demand wage increases higher than the 10%. Struggles grow in the European labor movement against the deterioration of living standards. The unity of the struggles and the general strike mark the way for the capitalists to pay for the crisis.

Those who look the other way

While the French people defend themselves with dignity, on the streets of Paris, European political and trade union organizations look the other way. They support Macron and the reactionary regime or do not call for massive actions in solidarity with the claims in the neighboring country. Such is the case of those who call themselves progressive from the PSOE- Podemos government.. It is the same role played by UGT and CC.OO. with its immobility.

“Who governs who governs, “pensions are defended”

Those who do defend their rights in the streets are retirees and pensioners. They have experience in confronting attacks on pensions with extraordinary mass mobilizations. They did it when Mariano Rajoy of the PP governed. They do it today when Pedro Sánchez governs with the PSOE coalition- We can. The leaders of Marea Pensionista never tire of telling how they were summoned in Parliament by Podemos who asked them to “slow down the mobilizations a little” Y “lower your program”, “it's not going to be something that favors the right”. It's a shame "Advance".

A hug to the mobilized neighboring people

Monday 27, The Great Pensioner He mobilized again for his demands, among which is collecting a minimum pension of 1.080 € due to the inflationary rise. And he did it to the French Consulate in Barcelona, in solidarity with the mobilized brother people and calling to win the streets in the Spanish State and throughout Europe. Retirees and pensioners are doing what unions should do. Because, from SUN, we were with them, accompanying the mobilization. It is an example to follow.

EU-governments, anti-worker and popular axis

The economic “aid” of the European Commission via the Next Generation program is already showing its true face. They involve the indebtedness of the States, the flow of millions of euros into the coffers of large companies and bankrupt banks. Y, as the other side, They intend to recover them with adjustments to the belts of working and pensioner families. The authorities of the European Union and the governments act in tandem against the workers and the people.

Capitalists should pay for the crisis

The first task of the moment is active solidarity with the demands of the French people. With pronouncements, mobilizations and actions in repudiation of Macron's decree and demanding the end of repression. With the demand to the majority political and union organizations, who call themselves progressive, to actively show solidarity with the people of the neighboring country and for the general strike in the Spanish State, to unite all ongoing claims. Down with reactionary retirement reforms, salary increases that exceed inflation and that the crisis will be paid for by the capitalists.
