PACD Manifest General Strike 14N

Spanish Citizen Debt Audit Platform (PACD) joins the General Strike of November 14th and encourages all to take the streets shouting, loud and clear, to the political, financial and business elite in Spain and Europe that we do not believe their lies:

1. We know that the origin of this crisis is private debt you built up, not public debt spent on building the welfare state and a more just and egalitarian society.

2. We know that you have accumulated large profits for years with this debt, while real wages decreased and the price of  basic commodites, such as housing, increased.

3. Cuts, privatizations and reforms are a way of making people pay a debt that is not ours, but yours, so you can continue making profit at the expense of our rights and our planet.

4. We know the anti-democratic mechanisms you use to transform private debt into public debt: bank bailouts, constitutional reform, EU bailout to the banks and the signing of the ESM.

5. We will not stay quiet at home, we are not afraid and we will use all the tools at our disposal to not pay this illegitimate debt.

DON’T OWE! WON’T PAY!
