Massive support for the general strike day in Ferrolterra, Eume and Ortegal, which took place without incident, with some barricades in the A Gándara industrial estate and informational pickets in the commercial areas of Alcampo and Odeón, also in Río do Pozo. The follow-up of the strike is majority, massive in the naval, industry, logistics warehouses and in the port. Transportation only works with minimal services and school transportation has accumulated many delays, in many cases it has not been carried out.
A day of strike that seeks to strike a blow at the table to draw the attention of the Xunta de Galicia and the central government so that they get to work to save these regions. The key points: workload for the naval, a fair ecological transition, without loss of jobs, renewable energy projects and investments in projects and infrastructures. The reasons are already innumerable
The unions highly value the follow-up of the strike, of course the demonstration, which has been massive. Santiago Díaz, CCOO regional manager, has shown his satisfaction because the strike is being seconded by most of the companies and the demonstration has been one of the most important in recent times in Ferrol.
Manel Grandal, regional manager of the CIG, has also highlighted the resounding success of the strike in night and morning shifts, and has even added in always difficult areas such as industrial estates. He has also stressed the great response of citizens to the call for a demonstration in which a future has been claimed for this area.
Along the same lines, the UGT regional official, Toni Díaz, has expressed himself, who has valued the majority support for the demonstration and the good participation in the strike with a large majority of the closed shops and also the industry. The most conflictive point has been Alcampo, where there are always moments of tension with the pickets, but finally it has also closed its doors.
Galician representatives of the unions have also participated in the demonstration. Paulo Carril, from the CIG, has assured that this strike is the answer to a situation that seems to have no end. From UGT José Antonio Gómez has affirmed that this region is dying and the administrations must give a response to this mobilization.
