The new electricity bill that came into force last Monday has generated a wave of criticism from consumers that has been staged this Saturday in the Puerta del Sol. In the central Madrid square dozens of citizens have gathered in protest to what they consider a "robbery". The call emerged spontaneously on social networks and has been replicated in other cities in the country. The rate change was triggered after May ended as the month with the most expensive electricity bill in history. Society believes that the new system will harm them even more economically, in addition to causing a disruption in routines by concentrating the bands with the cheapest amount of light at ungodly hours. the Anticapitalistas spokesman, Raúl Camargo, has attended the demonstration, who has pointed out that this situation is "absolutely intolerable" and "much more so when there is a supposedly left-wing government in Spain." This is the fault of the lobby of the electricity companies, but the Government cannot be stopped as it is doing and must put an end to it, "he claimed. Likewise, Camargo explained to the agency that the profits of the supply companies have grown" almost 200 percent "while the light has gone up "by 44 percent for working people." For this reason, he has asked that laws be passed that prohibit this circumstance and also that companies that were previously public such as Endesa be nationalized. "There must be public energy companies that ensure for the common good ", he indicated.
