¿Debería ser ilegal tener más de 2 viviendas? 🏠🚫

La mitad de la población cree que sí, que hay que poner un tope.

¿Limitar cuántas viviendas puede acumular una persona podría ser la forma de frenar la especulación y acabar con la crisis de vivienda?

Israel bombed a hospital.

Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.

Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.

Read that again.

Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Qué todos y todas sepamos qué se está votando en Andalucía cuando se apuesta por una derecha que esta reduciendo una de nuestras joyas, la sanidad, a un servicio cada vez más deteriorado y a costa de las personas más vulnerables. Lamentable.

Andalucía empezará a concertar con la privada operaciones quirúrgicas en septiembre

El Gobierno de Moreno ejecutará el primer acuerdo marco por 533 millones en cuatro años. “Es una apuesta sin pudor por la sanidad privada”, dicen los sindicatos
