The trade unions CGT, FSU, LAB, Solidaires and USL have called for a strike in Lapurdi, Baja Navarra and Zuberoa on 1 October in favour of pay, pensions and public services. Debates in the National Assembly on State and Social Security budgets in France have indeed begun this Tuesday.

The demonstration, convened by the unions, started at 10:30 hours in Plaza Santa Úrsula de Baiona. Protesters have focused on the issue of pensions, mainly: "We have been mobilized for more than six months against the removal of the house at the age of 64. Macron decided to force 49.3, but we punish him, with great defeats in the legislative elections in Europe and France. It no longer has the legitimacy to impose its choices. So now we can and must win the abolition of the pension reform."

The trade unions have also sent out a message on working conditions and wages, noting that each year they charge EUR 170,000 million of public aid, are distributed without compensation to companies and that the dividends have never been so large. Trade unions have, however, denounced that working conditions "are getting worse and worse" and that collective bargaining remains in place. "Let us mobilize for the immediate end of all the externalizations, to gain the relocation and environmental transformation of our industry."

Finally, the trade unions CGT, FSU, LAB, Solidaires and USL have stated in a communiqué that, in the face of public services, "things cannot continue like this". They say that health, education, higher education, research, the environment, etc. have been "liquidated".

"The current leisure model reproduces the practice in the workplace"
He moved to Athens to make his master's thesis. He was not able to do a PhD there: his specialty disappeared with government cuts. However, the 2010 crisis surprised him in Greece and learned that global capitalism can easily destroy the welfare state.
