Numerous trade unions have denounced that the situation of Pablo González is "absolutely undemocratic and unjust". ELA, LAB, STEILAS and other trade unions in the Basque Country, Catalonia, Galicia and the Spanish State have published a note asking the Polish authorities to release the journalist as soon as possible and free of charge.

Trade unions consider the arrest of a journalist "unacceptable" for such an arbitrary and unsubstantiated state. They have described the press as an attack on freedom and democracy, and they have asked the Spanish State and the European Union to do everything in their power to put an end to ‘injustice’.

The signatories recall that González is in practice incommunicado, since he was arrested six months ago he has only received five letters from the family, all of them very late, and has only been able to contact the lawyer and the Consulate of the Spanish State.
