November 19, 2016, 11:16Madrid, 19 nov (PL), The leftist coalition United we Can demanded today to the power companies to put an end to energy poverty in Spain, where every year die more than seven thousand people as a result of this scourge.
That day, Rosa, a grandmother, 81-year-old resident in the town of Reus, lost his life due to a fire caused in his home by a candle, which is lit in the absence of light. Trying to flee, fell to the ground and died from smoke inhalation.
two months ago, the woman had cut off the supply for non-payment, he said then the city council.
The tragedy of this octogenarian caused a huge outrage and re-opened the debate on energy poverty, a problem that affects more than five million people in this nation ibérica, according to several sources.
The leader of we Can, Pablo Iglesias, considered it unacceptable that in the fourth economy of the euro area die people because the power companies ‘billing benefits and pay plans, pensions and salaries of scandal, its officers, leave without light and without heating compatriots’.
it is Not normal that with the millions they earn (those companies), die people due to the lack of electricity and having to light the house with candles, denounced Churches, who came to the protest in Madrid with Alberto Garzón, federal coordinator of United Left (IU).
Urged to Natural Gas to comply with the law, because, in his opinion, if the firm has informed the social services of the city of Reus is going to cut the power to the old lady, ‘maybe now Rosa would be alive’.
he Anticipated that United we Can -alliance between IU and We – will present an interpellation on this subject in the Congress of Deputies, where the training is the third political force.
however, I was skeptical about success of such litigation, while Spain continue to be governed ‘by parties that have to some of its former presidents and former ministers on the boards’ of companies such as Natural Gas.
he Referred to former high-level officials of the parties with the Popular and Socialist that now occupy positions in those entities.
In his opinion, what made these societies to carry expolíticos to their boards of directors is to buy the will of the people.
Garzón criticized the silence of the two forces is traditional that during the last years ruled by Spain, before the serious consequences of fuel poverty.
it Is important that you put ‘a face to the perpetrators of the looting and the death of these people’, he said.
