A cry for social justice
The manifesto highlights the serious problems affecting the country’s working class and calls for mobilization on International Workers’ Day. The lack of decent and affordable housing is denounced, as well as the abuses of large landowners and speculators, who continue to act illegally and legally, resorting to deceptive tactics. In addition, courage is demanded from the public authorities to regulate housing prices and sanction abuses.
Labor claims and gender equality
The manifesto also denounces the wage gap and abuses by both owners and some employers towards migrant workers. It warns about the continuity of working under the implicit threat of dismissal without cause, the lack of works councils and insufficient wages, which undermine purchasing power year after year. It is criticized that the country is increasingly inclined towards the rich and less welcoming to workers. The lack of punishment for abuses against migrant workers is highlighted and gender equality is claimed, denouncing the violence and reproductive exploitation that especially affects working-class women.
Rights and freedoms
In addition, the residents’ right to vote is claimed and it is regretted that the working class must continue working on their international day. Mobilization is called to achieve a dignified future and life, demanding decent housing, fair wages, job security, freedom of association, free abortion, democratic rights for all, equality and equity.
