“They have so many privileges and are so corrupt that they do not want to lose” – Whack

Almost everyone in this country knows Diego Cañamero. His appearances in the media state level have made him a reference for non-violent direct action as “assault” supermarkets to distribute among the most disadvantaged Andalusia; for leading massive marches that came from Andalusia; by sharing meetings with those who are committed to social justice wherever they come

.

Cañamero, above all, reference for workers in the Andalusian countryside for having been secretary general of the SOC and spokesman for the SAT

.

Now who is MP for Jaén of Unidos Podemos coalition, is the first MP who delivers waiving any privilege in the Register of the Senate document: “I put in his knowledge my will manifest notary to resign formally to gauging the office of deputy carries with “

you are aware that this document may be rejected legally

Yes. But I come to deliver a document notarized to give up all my privileges as a deputy for two reasons. The first is solidarity with my fellow processed 600, and second because I do not want to have any privilege to the rest of society. Any. I hope you will accept, and that an ordinary court judge me, not only the Supreme. If I am arrested in a picket in a demonstration or wherever, to declare in the same court where do the rest of peers. If I answer that it is not legal, I would say that then we get together the 350 deputies and change the law so that it can be

How many pending cases have

I do not know. I know that I do not know how many, no matter the need. What I do I can assure you is that in the future will continue to have because I will not give up fighting for the just cause

We also know you can create a precedent

and I hope that I would have to do all deputies. The work of politicians should be to serve the people and not serve the people. Politics is a noble to defend just, humane, sincere causes cause, but may not be just for us.

How does it feel being a deputy in Congress?

just landed, and now in Congress there is still no specific job although I am meeting in Jaen, where I am a member, and we developing initiatives that we will develop from September. It is a new stage, they are four years of commitment, to work full days, not free time.

There are many chances that you will participate, among others, in the Committee on Agriculture. What goal or goals have you set short term

?

First, I think the important thing is bring to parliament the problems of any citizen, not just those working in the agricultural world. But the commission one of the key priorities is to create a more effective coordination between the Andalusian parliament, the rest of Spanish and European

“Only in Extremadura and Andalusia there are half a million laborers in rural areas who do not receive the agricultural subsidy that is subject to the peonadas “

what are the most important points you want to exhibit at the Congress of Deputies

it should be noted that only in Extremadura and Andalusia there are half a million laborers in rural areas who do not receive the agricultural subsidy because it is subject to the peons, ie owners . of farms that work, and that should be corrected

Another point to claim is that the cast European aid to farming small – to those who do not get the money- and between large landowners more equitable. Such aid should be used for job creation and processing industry, based, of course, respect for the environment

and other priority measures to improve the infrastructure in the province of Jaen, as it is one of the Spanish provinces reflecting a high level of unemployment and suffers a serious deterioration in infrastructure, especially rail and road .

we have made several proposals in the Andalusian Parliament on common agricultural policy

Indeed, there is Mari Garcia Well, that is an expert in rural areas and Andalusia in general, and is raising very interesting questions and propositions of law in all aspects, not only defending the agrarian issue but the environmental, sustainable development is not speculative, etc.

As a trade unionist, what relationship you have with other unions or groups of European farmers

I met several groups and agricultural unions when they have traveled to some European countries, but who have more relationship is with the French, with the federation of farmers.

and can say that they live better than the Spaniards

?

Yes, much better, and one of the keys it is the way of working between them. There is more communication and coordination and favors that there is more capacity to mobilize and get achievements, especially on common agricultural policy. We do could live better

.

We have land very valuable, with many hours of sunshine, especially in the South, but as I said before, the big landowners are the owners of most of the field and not worry about the economic development or the people, or the region where they are there because it is content to live them well.

“products that brings agriculture are pantry human consumption and it can not be subject to speculation “

agriculture is a scarce resource that the society and must be cared for, therefore, land can not be a commodity, must be at the service of human beings and society as a whole. There is something basic to understand the products that brings agriculture are the pantry human consumption and it can not be subject to speculation. We must go so that it is in the hands of small farmers and cooperatives, and then there is a strong communication to coordinate issues concerning aid and marketing.

You are receiving allegations about a possible corruption case while he was mayor of El Coronil (Sevilla). It is said that favored his family with public money

. It is not only false, but I want done an investigation of my ten years as exercised that position

So why are publishing this information

they can not admit that Members who are closest to the people, which are simpler, with fresh air, wanting to transform things changing laws and privileges, are very nervous. I’m a journeyman who enters “home” -because so understand them-in his palace. Then they ask “what has come this here this house we built for us, if we built this democracy for us. How are straining the queue, the dreadlocks, the journeyman?”.

are nervous and worried, but not because we are going to transform society, not because we are going to build socialism, no, That’s not the problem. The problem is they have so many privileges and are so corrupt that they do not want to lose them. Do not want to be questioned

There are many people who consider him a endowed with great resistance man

I’m tanned with blows, but there are millions of people like me

but are not known publicly

that’s possible. I’ve been in the fight since he was 16 years old and have 60 and the experience of living in the dictatorship, in the political transition, in the field, in construction, being mayor or union, it is very valuable. It does not become wise, but it gives you a very broad what knowledge society. Look, when I was mayor and someone came to City Hall, looked into his eyes and knew practically what was coming.

I suppose one of the toughest and unexpected SAT shock is that the councilman Andrés Bódalo is in prison

.

Yes, it was unexpected, caught us by surprise. No one in the union thought that Andrew was going to go to jail because, among other things, what he has done Bódalo we’ve been doing forty years. The union struggles, roadblocks, closures, the hunger strike, the occupation of farms, Renfe, airports. We have endured fines, arrests, but jail

?

After the campaign calling for his freedom, where we were 27 days of hunger strike, we are now expecting the third grade comes because Andrew does not have to be rehabilitated in prison. He is a totally rehabilitated person, is but a parent, who has three children, a granddaughter and what is needed is to be released as soon as possible.

Do you feel comfortable when you call ? populist

you do not know what they mean when they call us so! I consider myself a normal person, I’m a union member, I am social activist movements and my feet on the ground. I do not know what is meant as a populist but being used to disqualify people. I’m single, left, committed to the common good, for the distribution of wealth, deep democracy and the defense of human rights.

How will be your summer agenda?

The day will take hours because I’m already doing work in my village in Jaen in Andalusia and Madrid. Although we are in the month of August, I had a vacation in my life and so this August will work in booths parties SAT and IU we have there in Coronil, in Fuentes, in Moron and two more to raise funds for social projects.
