"Naval ez itxi" lelopean Sestaon egindako manifestazioa / Argazkia: @EhbMaria

If a private investor does not arrive at the last moment – the Minister of Economy, Arantxa Tapia, has used the term "savior" in Onda Vasca – the yard will definitely close the doors.

The workers are aware of this and have asked the Basque Government and the Spanish Government to act with the responsibility that the situation requires. The 3,000 demonstrators have appealed to "rescue" the shipyard, with the aim of "maintaining employment on the left margin". The workers have denounced that "with unjustified political decisions, the left has already been punished sufficiently".
