Such high and sustained inflation is fueling the need for a rent agreementunderstood as an agreement to increase wages in a limited way and agreed, accompanied, in turn, by a containment in the remuneration of capital. All this in order to avoid an uncontrolled inflationary spiral that would end up harming everyone, especially the weakest. A negotiation that we began a few weeks ago and without, for the moment, any progress having been made. A bad start that we attribute to our innate inability to reach an agreement, unlike what happened at another transcendental moment in our history with the Moncloa Pacts, to which we repeatedly appeal these days.

Among other reasons, because in the 1970s Spain had a very clear goal to aspire to, that of join the social, political and economic model of the European Economic Community. Today, the situation is radically different because, already fully incorporated into the most advanced world, we are as disoriented as all our partners about how to deal with the many dysfunctions and fractures that are accumulating, without any model to which we can direct ourselves. This makes it very difficult to manage the current moment.
