Economic and industrial crisis in Navarre?
Juan Mari Arregi 2013ko maiatzaren 06a
According to the UPN government there is no crisis in Navarre. The same source points out that economic growth violates 4% and that only four of the 12,000 existing companies are affected by employment regulation or strikes. It refers to companies that were closed and relocated at the beginning of the year: Mepamsa, Caucho Metal, Inquinasa and BSH-Estella. The reality, however, is insistent.

To these companies, we must now add others: Solano, who had public support at the time Mejor, Sysmo (the strike has affected Volkswagen), Maier, the multinational Drahtzug Stein... Hundreds of other workers are at risk. It is true that today in Navarre it is not possible to talk about economic-industrial kinka. There is a crisis of the economic and industrial model based on the industrial monoculture. This has its support in the vehicle industry and in the field of food from agriculture, therefore, in the dependence of multinationals. Servitude, as in other parts of the world, implies the deindustrialization of different regions of Navarre. Multinationals, as we know, are savages. They have no heart. They use the policy of relocation without taking into account the socio-labor consequences. They're just looking for business. As a result, the economy of Navarre has weak and dangerous foundations. In the future, both the government and the Navarrese economic and social agents should bet on greater industrial diversification.
