Ezagunegiak ditugu Espainian azken bolada honetan hartzen ari diren neurri mingarriak.
Hona Bill Mitchell-ek emandako zenbait iruzkin[1]:
a) Nazioarteko Moneta Fondoaren txostena, zeinak NMF-ren eta Espainiako gobernuaren aldebiko eztabaidak aipatzen dituen[2].
b) Txostenaren ondorioak: (i) langabezia areagotuko da, (ii) BEZ-aren eta elektrizitatearen prezio igoerek, denboralki, inflazio altuagoa ekarriko dute.
Mitchell-en hitzez, “If the Spaniards thought this year was bad then the next will be worse.”
Okerrago, ez dago txosten bat ere ez, austeritatearen planek ekarri dituzten onurak edo eta galerak jakiteko[3].
Mitchell-en aurreikuspena argia da: “I predict that the markets will never be confident with that sort of scenario”, zeren merkatuek inbertsiorako nahiago baitituzte leku egonkorrak eta hazkundeko eszenarioak.
Beste alde batetik, nahiko ezaguna zaigu Grezian gertatzen ari dena.
Greziar ekonomialari Yanis Varoufakis-ek orain dela gutxi aipatu du[4] Grezian gertatzen ari den zantarkeria[5]. Izan ere, oso zantarra da ‘zama’ EBZ-tik Alemania, Holanda, Austria eta Finlandiako zerga ordaintzaileei igarotzea.
Horixe bera gertatuko da laster, oso laster Espainian (eta Italian).
Izan ere, ‘erreskate’ berria lortzean, zama, hau da, dirutzaren zuloa Europako Erreskate Funtsetik zenbait bankuetara igaroko baita, batez ere, Alemaniako banku erraldoietara.
Eta zulo horiek estali behar dira, hau da, zorrak ordaindu behar dira.
Ondorio garbia: Espainia (una, grande y libre) are gehiago zorpetuko da.
[2] “The Report summarized the latest pernicious austerity program that the EU in partnership with the IMF have imposed on Spain. (…) The Spanish government reacted like lapdogs and: 1. Increased the VAT from 18 to 21 per cent (and pushed more low-rated products into the standard rate). 2. Cut the December extra payment to public servants – “equivalent to nearly a monthly wage.” 3. Reduce income tax deductions on mortgages. 4. REDUCE the unemployment benefit to be paid. 5. Etc”
[3] “The fact is that the none of these agencies (EC, IMF, OECD, ECB) have provided a convincing cost-benefit analysis of their austerity policies. There is no paper I can find where they catalogue the costs of a decade of high unemployment, the destruction of productive capital, the breakdown of public health and safety, and sadly, the breakdown of order in communities, families and individuals.”
[5] “The very idea of an insolvent entity borrowing more from a community, like the Eurozone, in order to repay that same community is obscene.”
