The document also outlines some more significant changes. It refers to “transformative solidarity”: a way of placing more emphasis on grouping the corporations businesses by industry sector, so they can better anticipate any issues with competitiveness amongst cooperatives, as well as introducing tighter controls on the cooperative institutions that allocate funds. “It will be a more stringent form of solidarity that can truly transform the way we do things”, said Sotil. Funds are now making their way to businesses through Mondragon Investments and the Mondragon Foundation, with the money coming from the profits of the cooperatives themselves.
Respecto a los cambios más significativos que se proponen en el documento, se hace referencia a la “solidaridad exigente transformadora”, que conlleva un mayor protagonismo de las agrupaciones sectoriales internas al grupo para anticipar problemas de competitividad en las cooperativas y una mayor exigencia y rigor por parte de las instituciones corporativas que asignan esos fondos. “Se tratará de una solidaridad más exigente, que ayude a transformar verdaderamente las situaciones y evite su prolongación”, apuntó Sotil.
