Podemos once again uses the Dana that hit the southeast of Spain last week in order to criminalize large companies that operate in that area. Without even 24 hours having passed after President Pedro Sánchez presented the first aid package, worth 10.6 billion, for the affected areas, the purple party assured that “this social shield” must be financed with fines and sanctions imposed on the “criminal companies” that kept their workers active in the middle of Dana. The general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, explicitly mentioned “Mercadona, Inditex, Ikea and Coca-Cola.”
Can thus deepens the strategy of looking for culprits in the economic world which was already launched shortly before the magnitude of the tragedy that devastated the Valencian Community and other autonomous communities became known. Last week he presented a non-legal proposal to investigate and fine companies that, in his opinion, should have completely stopped their activity from the first moment. However, on that occasion, he did not go as far as now, in which he has pointed out, by name, the companies that he considers guilty, to which he attributed outrageous behavior.
What’s more, Belarra, in the course of a coIn his televised intervention, he assured that it is a matter of “political responsibility” that these companies are identified directly, even resorting to accusations, “after endangering their workforce.” “Exemplary sanctions must be imposed on them” so that they “pay for what they have done.”
In an equally harsh tone, The former Minister of Equality anticipated that none of these companies “will be able to repair the damage they have doneespecially to Valencian society.”
Podemos also places in its sights the owners of tourist accommodation in the affected areas, advocating that this type of property be expropriated by the authorities so that they can be used to house injured people and people who have been left homeless.
