The conclusions of the European Council are marked, once again, by the shameful absence of any reference to the dramatic situation in Palestine due to Israel's brutal aggression. An option that reveals the cynicism and hypocrisy of those who, on other occasions, are loquacious in proclamations and condemnations about violations of international law, human rights and democracy. A position that reflects effective and undisguised complicity with the heinous crimes, massacres and atrocities committed by Israel against the Palestinian people.

The European Central Bank (ECB) decided, for the third time in a row, to maintain reference interest rates at 4.5%. This decision does not leave everything as it was. Maintaining interest rates at current values reflects the option of increasing the drain of resources from workers and families, as well as from companies, especially micro, small and medium-sized companies, to the banks, which continue to reap huge profits. This decision will also have a negative impact on State financing costs.

Comrades and friends, We are having legislative elections because the government with an absolute majority of the PS fell. Apart from the judicial inquiry invoked, the Government fell because it did not respond to the problems that affect the lives of the workers, the people, and the country. Low wages and pensions, increased cost of living, brutal increase in housing rents and bank loan payments, deterioration of public services: this is the legacy of the Government with an absolute majority of the PS.

100 days. 100 days of bombings that have killed more than 23 thousand people, including over 9000 children. 100 days of destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, healthcare centres, the lives of even those who survive. But it is also 100 days of international solidarity that does not wane.
