MANIFESTO
Against cuts by the employment, pensions and social rights
The
political and social organizations and citizens who support this call, we do believe that it is time to stop adjustment policies being implemented by the Socialist Government to the dictates of finance capital and big business, whose interests they pretend to protect.
We are determined to do so by mobilizing and democratic political action (ranging from social organization and the struggle to prevent our vote to be used in the next election to endorse measures to right).
policies imposed by the Government aims to improve conditions for ending the crisis. On the contrary, worsen. Unemployment is growing, the economy remains stagnant and labor rights and social regress. These policies are presented as inevitable, but that's not true. They are just decisions that favor large economic powers and speculators, approved the issuance of the so-called markets. The financial capital is in luck: virtually all measures taken by the Government since the crisis began have been directly or indirectly profit-oriented banking. The Government does not flinch when he insists that his decision not to cut social rights.
However, the reality is that punish the poorest, freeze pensions, greater ease of dismissal, social spending cuts affecting public services, including education, health and dependency reduction remuneration in the function public attack on the public pension system and threat to collective bargaining tools that allow the defense of the working world.
