In a statement, the Right2Water campaign today said: “As the Government parties gear up for a General Election, they need to be told loud and clear that public opposition to water charges remains unabated – and will be reflected in the ballot box come polling day. “Not only are water charges being used to give tax breaks to the richest in society and corporations but this Government have now opened the door to the privatisation of our human Right2Water. We are the only EU country with zero water poverty because we already pay for our water through progressive general taxation based on need, not means. We are determined it will stay that way. “On January 23rd, people around the country will have an opportunity to remind their local politicians that water will be the number one issue in this election campaign”, the statement concluded. The next set of Right2Water demonstrations take place on Saturday, 23rd January 2016 in locations all across the country.
