A social thermometer in action
The Coordinator for Digna Housing has set a deadline until May 5 for Government Responses, parliamentary groups and the home employer. If there is no answer, they will consider it a refusal to their demands, and will act accordingly.
Reflections on labor mobilization
Despite the lack of will to maintain the manifestation of May 1st by the unions, the coordinator positively values the struggles of other sectors, such as teachers and bus chauffeurs, who are struggling to improve their working conditions. “There is no dignity in life without decent working conditions,” they say.
Next assemblies and strategies
On Friday, April 25, the collective will meet in a new assembly to evaluate the following steps. The proposals of the different working groups will be discussed, with special attention to the ideas of the Youth Group, which has prepared an actions plan to increase the pressure if the answers to their demands are unsatisfactory.
A collective success
The members of the coordinator are satisfied with the success of the recent rally, which has become one of the most massive demonstrations in the history of Andorra. This massive support is an indicator that its struggle is moving along the right track.
Social crisis and government reactions
The organization has used manifestations as a barometer of social sentiment, noticing a growing discomfort towards government policies and the attitude of the employer. A recent report by the reasoner corroborates this perception.
A necessary struggle
The coordinator claims that protest actions are essential to the government’s attempt and the employer to increase prices indiscriminately, forcing the working class to leave the country. The mobilizations of 2023 have led to a change in the Government’s direction, and popular pressure is being intensified.
Futuristic options and record pressure
Although they consider the general strike as a last option, the coordinator does not rule out this possibility if the Government and the employer persist in their rejection of their demands. The current situation shows that the pressures are getting stronger, and the actions must continue.
A term for the response
In order to receive a clear and official response, the coordinator has set a deadline, considering that a month is enough to evaluate the reactions. The lack of response will be interpreted as a direct refusal to his demands, and this could have significant consequences.
