Civic Rights lobby group, Section 27 has stomped its heels into the ground against the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s austerity measures.
Section 27 is amongst the 500 signatories across the globe which have since penned a letter to the IMF pertaining to the austerity measures.
“We are calling for this neoliberal agenda to stop because it creates inequality and unemployment.
These austerity measures do more harm than good because countries cannot grow their economies if they have a noose on their necks.
