Mai este meseria brățară de aur? România, a doua cea mai mare rată a sărăciei în rândul angajaților din UE

Vladimir Borțun discusses the decline of the middle class in Europe, attributing it to neoliberal policies and austerity measures. He emphasizes the need for higher taxation on wealth and stronger labor rights. The interview highlights the disparity between the working class and the so-called middle class, which often feels superior despite facing similar economic struggles. Borțun points out that the current economic crisis is exacerbated by a lack of productive investment and that the burden of austerity falls on ordinary people. He cites Spain as a positive example of economic growth through increased minimum wages and labor rights. The conversation also touches on why workers tend to support conservative parties instead of leftist ideas, suggesting that a broader definition of the working class could unite diverse groups around common economic interests.
