The Spanish citizens called to vote this weekend for the local elections have just expressed the strong refusal of Socialist Party (PSOE) policies. As the bipartisanship obliges, it is the ultraliberal party (PP) which comes out victorious from this election.

The left of real change progresses with Izquierda Unida ( IU).

These results confirm what we’ve been observing in Europe since the beginning of the crisis: the governments that apply the austerity plans required by the European Union “to restore confidence to financial markets “are sanctioned by the people. The strategy of the lesser evil leads to nothing.

This rejection is also expressed in Spain since May 15 ^th , by the movement of "unworthy” people that is growing day by day. By denouncing the unemployment and precariousness, as well as the measures that do not change their lives, they claim the employ the money in the name of the people and a true democracy.

This movement is a tremendous hope that requires a political alternative. The European Left Party supports the Spanish youth movement and the information and action day announced by the European Trade Union Confederation on June 21st. We call for the convergence of struggles in Europe against the austerity policies and the "Euro Pact +" which aims to systematize the precariousness and deprive people even more of their economic and financial sovereignty.
