According to Mitxel Lakuntza, CAF's project in Jerusalem "is not decisive" for the future of the company
The Secretary General of ELA says that "CAF knows that this train is illegal from the beginning" and asks the company to clarify the experts who have produced the report that "serves as an argument to support the project and to stand up to it with illegality".
ELA's Secretary General, Mitxel Lakuntza, has stressed in relation to CAF's railway project in Israel that the union does not believe, contrary to what Gipuzkoa's diptutado, Eider Mendoza, said, that abandoning this contract would call into question the future of the company, not least because the company has other major contracts, such as that of Brussels, but has asked the company to put the data on the table.
CAF explained last week that the Jerusalem train project respected international law and that a report by various experts supported the project. In this regard, Lakuntza has reported on Wednesday morning at the Euskadi Irratia Factory that "this report is the only argument put forward by CAF to advance this illegality, but CAF knows that this train is already illegal, and we still do not know which experts have made that report."
Asked about the main conclusions of EITB Focus and, in particular, about the desire shown by the majority of citizens to continue in the Spanish Government by Pedro Sánchez, Lakuntza has stressed that, from the point of view of workers' rights, the risks that a PP and Vox mandate would entail are always more evident, but, according to the union, the current Spanish Government also has a "considerable lack of social and labour rights."
In the face of the rise of the extreme right announced by EITB Focus for Hego Euskal Herria, Lakuntza has pointed out that, despite the rise, the representation of the extreme right in Euskal Herria remains very small. However, it has stated that there is concern and that we must not lose sight of the ideas and attitudes that the extreme right can bring, such as racism, xenophobia or machismo.
