Showers and cold food, and the premature death of Olatz Vázquez: it's the economy friends

"It's the economy, stupid,"

is a recurring phrase that was launched almost as a slogan in Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign. Since then we have heard it a lot.

We could also remember Rodrigo Rato's cocky tone with that "It's the market, friends." 

A family of 4 members depend on a single salary that is not one of the worst in the market.

A family that, given the increase in electricity bills, only connects the ceramic hob once a day to cook, or that has been disconnected all summer to save money.

A girl with her whole life ahead of her who dies, after months of fighting cancer, who could have been diagnosed only with a test that was postponed due to the pandemic and because being young she was not one of the priority groups at the time to program them.

Solidarity braids

We listened to Leire and Susi, the family friend who gave her the idea. Susi is also a nurse and she knew the importance of that gesture of solidarity.
