New coalition: People United Against the Sale and Privatization of Services

A number of unions and community groups are coming together to fight privatization on the island, and have formed a new coalition—People United Against the Sale and Privatization of Services. “Everything is linked by what the fiscal control board is doing,” said Ángel Figueroa Jaramillo, president of UTIER. “Everything is within the framework of a fiscal plan that is upsetting everything. Today is energy and education, but tomorrow can literally be pensions. People are looking for how to channel their frustration and outrage. They are looking for where to cluster. Well here they have a front where to group, which will be in your regional council.”
