The municipal group of United Left-Greens presented a proposal to the full month of October Sewer contrary municipality requesting the application of TTIP is declared.
The local coordinator of IU Greens Sewer Josechu Duran, said that this trade agreement between Europe and the US is characterized by its lack of transparency and that is under negotiation back to citizens and virtually secret.
He also noted that the objective of these agreements is to establish a large market of 800 million people that would enshrine the dominance of the big European and American transnational corporations to the detriment of citizens on both sides of the ocean.
According to Duran, one of the most controversial chapters, is the protection of investments, for which a private investor may challenge before the (transparent and democratic) commercial courts any legislation (environmental, labor or social) that interferes with their benefits.
The formation of the left indicates that the implementation of these treaties would threaten labor rights, the survival of public services, food security, natural resources, access to pharmaceuticals, personal privacy and the possibility of mechanisms banking supervision to prevent new speculative crisis.
