Empresaris de Catalunya has assured that 98% of the companies linked to the entity carry out their activity this Wednesday with "normality" and without perceiving direct impacts from the general strike, which, in its view, shows that the stoppage is barely being followed in the private sector, in contrast with the greater incidence recorded in public services.
In a note released this Wednesday morning, the organization has described the strike call as "fictitious" in the business fabric and has attacked the actions of the pickets that try to block key communication points, with the aim of limiting citizens' freedom of movement and artificially amplifying the scope of the protest.
The president of Empresaris de Catalunya, Josep Bou, has held the Generalitat responsible for having established "extraordinarily low" minimum services in transport in an attempt to project an image of success of the mobilization, and has urged public administrations to ensure respect for the right to work and for the free movement of people.
