The crowd has appeared to denounce the risk of closure made public by companies in defense of the industry in Navarre in recent days. The workers’ committees of BSH, Sunsundegui, Nano Automotive, Siemens Gamesa, Tenerias Omega, Tasubinsa and Volkswagen expressed their concern and asked the Government of Navarre to “articulate a truly guarantor legislation”.
The demonstration, which started from the Golem cinema, brought together around 4,000 people on Sunday morning under the slogan "For the industry of Navarre". Cries like “Here we are, for the industry”, “Fired worker, boss hanging” and “We’re not numbers, we’re families” have been heard and Soy has received that he has filled the entire Avenida Armada.
Juanjo Hermoso de Mendoza reports on the workers’ demands before the demonstration begins. Hermoso de Mendoza recalls that the Navarrese industry "encourages the economic activation of other sectors" and that the economic aid to companies is paid through taxes paid by workers. It is therefore "logical" that this has a "social return" through the possibilities of "maintaining industrial projects for the development of life projects".
In the final communiqué of the demonstration, the weight of Industry in the economy of Navarre is highlighted, since 31% of GDP is in its hands. It is also recalled that the sector receives about 88,000 workers, of whom 2,000 are in distress. They also denounce the consequences of relocation, which aims to "greatly increase profits at a lower cost". To combat this, the Government of Navarre has been asked to "articulate a guarantor legislation" and "improve the anti-relocation law", as well as to "commit companies to maintain their activity and avoid relocations".
