Seventh day of the metal strike in the province of Cádiz that has two focuses of attention.
On the one hand, the capital and its bay (
Puerto Real-San Fernando
) and on the other the
Campo de Gibraltar area
.
While in these two points of the Andalusian geography the work stoppages in large industries continue, in Seville, the negotiating table between the employer's association,
Femca
, and the majority unions,
CCOO-UGT
, has been retaken
.
The days of mobilizations are passing and the tension increases in proportion to the wear and tear that is already being felt by the parties in conflict. The most complicated moments were lived in the area closest to the city of Cadiz. There was action by the riot police in the island neighborhood of
Bazán
. The unions tried to cut off access to the
Navantia
shipyards
and the actions of the agents caused the occasional confrontation.
In the industrial area of the Bay of Algeciras, the cut of the CA-34 between the municipalities of
San Roque and La Línea
de la Concepción
was repeated for another day
. In addition, in the early hours of the morning, in the port of Algeciras, there was a bottleneck on the North Access bridge. The demands of the metal employees coincided with those of the APM Terminals workers who are carrying out three-hour work stoppages to protest the transfer of their tasks to the port of Tangier-Med. The stevedores showed their support and the Police presence, which was high, avoided greater evils.
However, it was here that a "fatal accident" had to be lamented, as expressed by
the Interior Minister, Fernando Grande Marlaska
, in which a 20-year-old lost his life.
It was about a port worker who was coming to his post when he collided with one of the container trucks that was stopped on the road due to the action of the pickets.
For now, an investigation has been opened to clarify what happened and the
mayor of Algeciras, José Ignacio Landaluce (PP)
, on behalf of the entire Consistory has expressed his condolences to family and friends.
Manifestation
In fact, the city of Algeciras has hosted, despite the rain, a demonstration attended by some
2,000 people
,
four thousand according to the unions
, which has taken place without incident.
It has passed from the fairgrounds to the
Nexus
building
, where the employer's association has a headquarters in the Campo-Gibraltar region.
Tomorrow it will be in Cádiz capital where the protest will take place, which is expected to be even more massive.
Workers from other sectors have supported the call that has also been present, although they tried to go unnoticed by the media, both from leaders of the
PSOE
and
Adelante Andalucía
.
The
head of the UGT in the area, Ángel Serrano
, has alluded to the fact that "perhaps the businessmen are using us against the government since it does not seem casual that there are so many open conflicts."
And it is that in addition to the one that is already a week old, waiting for what happens at the Seville meeting that some sources consider will be final, there are other open labor fronts in the agriculture, students or transport sector.
Precisely
the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas
, has summoned farmers to a meeting, which will take place next week, to hear their demands before the announcement, by them, of important mobilizations in the coming days.
