For months, the country has been facing an escalation in the prices of fuel and other products. An escalation that, with sanctions under the pretext of war, now knows even more brutal increases for the benefit of those who take advantage of them.
In addition to the unjustifiable increases in fuel prices, a few days ago we were faced with further increases in electricity, gas and food products.
No more injustice and impoverishment. No to the rising cost of living

The greatest wealth of a country is its people. An educated and cultured people, solidary and sovereign, respected and with rights, is the decisive force to build a democratic and developed country.

War is the greatest danger humanity faces and Europe has one of the most painful experiences of what it can mean.
