- The Secretary General of the Andalusian Workers’ Union (SAT), Oscar Reina, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon by the Civil Guard in the town of Gilena, 4 of Seville. By order of the court of instruction, accused of “hate offenses against the Crown.”
Reina wrote a tweet criticizing Spanish King Felipe Borbon and his arrest comes in response to comments on social media:
There you are, Felipe de Borbón is a miserable man. His people who voted were inherited from an institution that was kept from a strike by a Francoist and terrorist state.

The head of the SAT has been released within a few hours, and as soon as he leaves the barracks he recounts what happened on Twitter: “I was going to Cádiz when I went on strike in Navantia and I was arrested when I left home (...) Today more than ever we have to proclaim the Republic, the Crown has to celebrate right now. What crime would I have committed if there was no Crown? That’s what we need to achieve.”
I'm already in "freedom" after being held back by the force. I don't know if he's been killed by the Borbón Citizen, or by the denuncia work we've done in Huelva.

The trade unionists have summoned the Andalusians this Sunday, June 17, to “fill Huelva with dignity.” A demonstration will be held in this city to claim the rights of strawberry pickers. In recent days, there has been a proliferation of complaints about the abuses suffered by these immigrants since the Andalusian feminist movement.
