Price increases have a greater impact on the most humble homes
- Ipar Hegoa, the LAB Trade Union Studies Foundation, has just published the report “Review of the Ikusmiran Situation, Spring 2022”, which can be downloaded here. The main conclusion he has drawn is: "Although the crises we have known since 2008 have had specific characteristics (financial crisis, crisis of the globalist model or crisis that occurs as a result of the localization of competition in the field of imperialist war), they are crises caused by features characteristic of capitalism, crises caused by the system itself. The supposed solutions that have been put on the table to continue unjustly accumulating capital harm the working class, since they have been measures to deepen the model that impoverishes or precarizes workers".
In 2021, the CPI recorded the largest increase in recent years, around 6.5%, reaching 8.7% in May 2022. The increase in the daily shopping cart has been very important: oils and fats have increased by 32%, flours and other cereals by 14.3%, the price of pasta has increased by 21.4%, electricity has increased by 107.8% and fuel from vehicles by 40.2%. "Despite the fact that we all perceive it in our pockets, in humble homes it has been noticed more, as more than 66% of the budget is spent on the purchase of housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, food and drink without alcohol," Hegoa said.
The South of the North has recalled that the war in Ukraine "is a political consequence of the characteristics of this system" and has recalled the consequences, "we are again paying the citizens". At the same time, he says that military spending is at historical highs: Spain earmarked 1.4% of GDP in 2021 and the French State has announced that it will continue to grow in the short term and 1.9% of GDP in 2020. "Clearly, the money to be spent on military spending will not be used to guarantee the social rights of citizens," said Iparralde Hegoa.
"You have to prepare Euskal Herria to face what's coming."
To all this has added the reading of the North South Foundation that the current model is not ecologically sustainable and exploits "unfairly" nature "until the exhaustion of raw materials". This system has denounced that, instead of dealing with the issue of greenhouse gas emissions through collective processes, it "takes responsibility on the individual".
"In the face of this situation, Euskal Herria must be prepared to face what comes to us (or whatever comes to us). If we want to be a country that prioritizes the integral well-being of citizens, we need to make political decisions to carry out the energy transition from today, to be as sovereign as possible in the field of food, to make the decisions we need economically… It is time to make popular decisions, to set priorities and to develop courageous public policies”.
