Regarding the “austericide”

The troika (European Central Bank, the European Commission, and the IMF) defend their strategy of austerity assuring that it is working. The balance of that policy is regretful in economic and social terms. Seven years of adjustment and austerity had sunk the European periphery countries in depression. The Gross Domestic Product of Greece has collapsed 25% in five years, the unemployment rate increase 25% and among the youth it climbs up to 60%, the salaries declined an average of 40%, poverty doubled, 30% of enterprises that existed six years ago had filed for bankruptcy and the external debt now represents the equivalent of 175% of the GDP.

Regarding the measures to mitigate the effects of climate change

In Cordoba, to face floods it is necessary to reforest the high basins, build or reinforce contention dams, take into account the basins and slopes when enabling urban growth. It is also needed to think about the agronomic management of plots as there exists guidelines to reduce runoffs (waters produced by an uncontrolled strong current) and that is precisely on what the Agricultural Technological National Institute has been working.
