The 9,060 million euros of profit for the year 2007 has achieved the Santander group (19.3% more than in 2006) is a scandal that should outrage every working person. These huge profits are mainly two sources equally illegitimate theft from the working class through mortgage interest and bank charges, and looting of villages with high rates of poverty, especially in Latin America (2.666 million profit in the region, 17% more than the previous year). At a time when the government asks workers austerity to curb rising prices and unemployment is growing rapidly, this statement of benefits is an obscenity only understandable by the feeling of absolute certainty that the economic oligarchy feels both social democratic governments and conservatives. Both are faithful servants of economic power and only upon arrival at the political power of the working class will change this situation. submission of the state apparatus to the large capital was recently represented by the position of the prosecution (which did not press charges and asked that the cause sobreseyera) in the trial of credit transfers from Emilio Botin, chairman of Grupo Santander. Acquittals have been continuously received by Emilio Botin in many cases against him for financial crimes. The English Social subordination of economic power of big business (BSCH, BBVA, Endesa, Repsol and other companies) was also evident in the recent Ibero-American Summit, with the English president (supported by the monarch) to face the just claims of Latin American nations for their economic sovereignty. The subservience of the political class to the chief Cantabrian Botin and his financial empire was also publicly last June with the award of the Gold Medal of Cantabria in Santander in its 150 year history. Also, in 2005, the president of the regional government, Miguel Angel Revilla, expressed his joy at the acquittal of Emilio Botin in the case of the severance packages granted to directors of the bank, saying it "is the pride of Cantabria have a financial dimension internationally. " As workers and communist militants Cantabria PCPE ashamed of Santander's name is associated with such item. To end it all, from the PCPE defend our political program of nationalization of the banking sector to be of service to workers and the people, instead of generating these immense wealth for the benefit of a few.
