- The workers of Siemens and Gamesa regretted on 5 August the "inability of the Government of Navarra to maintain employment" in Aoiz, following the committee meeting with the Government of Navarra. At the meeting, the workers have pointed out that the Government has transferred to them that no management has advanced and that, to date, it has no alternative but to maintain employment.
In this context, the Commission regretted and regretted the inability of the Government of Navarre, whose closure would aggravate the problem of depopulation in the pre-Pyrenean area (it should be remembered that the European Union puts the risk of depopulation at a density of 12.5 inhabitants per square kilometre, while in the pre-Pyrenean area of Navarre the density is 7.7) and would increase the problem of unemployment. A country with a higher unemployment rate than the average in Navarre (13.6% in Aoiz and 9.6% in Navarre). Moreover, if all this was not enough, renewable energies are part of the Smart Specialisation Strategy, a strategy with which the Government of Navarre has reiterated its commitment.
Finally, the Commission wishes to denounce the attitude and behaviour of Siemens Gamesa. This multinational has treated us in a cruel and cruel manner, without taking into account our future and that of our families, despite having received millions of euros of public money.
