The president of the Autonomous Party: "The system is 'entrepreneurial-killing', it seems designed to kill those who want to do something different"

The president of the Autonomous Party criticizes existing organizations for failing to effectively represent the interests of self-employed individuals in Spain.

In a recent interview, the president of the Autonomous Party expressed frustrations with Spain's political system, which he describes as 'entrepreneurial-killing.' He argues that self-employed individuals, or 'autónomos', should vote for his party because its members are not traditional politicians but rather people experiencing the same struggles as their constituents. The party believes that their unique perspective allows them to address the issues affecting self-employed individuals more effectively than established political figures.

He further critiques existing organizations representing autónomos, such as CEOE, Cepyme, UPTA, and ATA, arguing that these groups have become too reliant on state funding and subsidies. Instead of challenging the underlying issues faced by self-employed workers, these organizations often focus on providing training and courses, failing to combat the system that he believes contributes to the worsening conditions for autónomos. This disconnect, he asserts, highlights the inadequacies of these established organizations in advocating for real change.

The statement serves to position the Autonomous Party as a grassroots alternative, aimed at creating meaningful advocacy for self-employed individuals. This perspective underscores a growing discontent among autónomos in Spain, who feel neglected by traditional political parties and organizations. The party seeks to channel this frustration into electoral support, promoting the idea that it can bring about substantive reform for autonomous workers in Spain's political landscape.
