In the Donostia-San Sebastian metro, the order to stop the works was not respected and an accident occurred.
- I may have been fired in 15 days' time. That is what Víctor Gonzalo Riffo says in an interview published this Tuesday in Berria, in which he has publicly announced his name and last names. Gonzalo Riffo, a worker of the Donostia suburban area, has publicly denounced, among other things, that when they ordered that only essential works be done, he was assigned to maintenance work in the works of the metro. It also reports that there has been an accident at work: A mechanic from the company Cavosa-Sacyr suffered an accident with a machine.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
In an interview with Iñaki Petxarroman, Victor Gonzalo Riffo explained that when the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, ordered to paralyze all the other tasks and confined the people, he had to go to work at the San Sebastian metro between 30 March and 9 April. Those responsible for the controversial Donostia-San Sebastian metro have disobeyed the order, which has not been complied with.
According to the Basque Department of Safety, only the excavation work of the metro was stopped, but most workers were forced to advance the works.
ELA filed a complaint with the Labour Inspectorate of Gipuzkoa against Cavosa Obras y Proyectos, S.A., branch of the company Sacyr. They are accused of breaching the Spanish Government's decree for the COVID-19 epidemic and putting the health of workers at risk.
Tunnel work accident
On 31 March, mechanic Victor Gonzalo Riffo reported that he suffered an accident with a telescopic manipulator of almost a dozen tons of weight. The machine was cleaning and repairing when it fell to the ground. The machine was damaged in various ways, but the operators were not responsible for the damage that occurred. The company imposed a penalty of 15 days' suspension of employment and wages on the worker.
