The candidate of Izquierda Unida (IU) for the Presidency of the Government, and economic spokesman of the parliamentary group the Plural Left, Alberto Garzón, has supported today in the Spanish Parliament, along with the federal coordinator of IU Cayo Lara and others deputies of the parliamentary group, the “solidarity with the Greek people” against the “blackmails and the extortion” displayed by the Troika in the European institutions.

The Non-legislative Motion (proposición no de ley) seeks to achieve a great European Agreement on public debt. Among its objectives is that Parliament urges the Government to launch "an audit of public debt" in all countries, as well as fighting against the austerity policies "which have been widely shown suicide".

He stressed that the Non-legislative Motion of the Plural left is a "sign of absolute solidarity with the Greek people, who are suffering the blackmail and extortion of the European institutions”.

The deputy argued that the German and French private banks, with the enthusiastic support of the Community institutions, are the ones that are "extorting the Greek population, pushing it and drowning it in truly dramatic circumstances, just in the when a Government, for first time in Greek history, has decided to represent accurately the majority of the population".

Garzón urged Mariano Rajoy to "support a great European agreement on the debt, which includes a radical change in European policies: "We want," he said, a different model from this one designed by the current Europe". He expressed his support for the new Greek Government of Syriza in having been able to put “the interests of the social majority over the bank benefits and the European private institutions”.

The Non-legislative Motion includes the "repeal of the Stability and Growth Pact, the Treaty of stability, coordination and governance and Euro Plus Pact" as well as the "repeal of all institutional reference to the absolute priority of payment of the debt, which in the Spanish field is set in the constitutional amendment of article 135 ".
