Unions have taken to the streets early this Wednesday to deploy information pickets in several industrial estates, coinciding with the start of the general strike in Navarre called in defense of the right to housing.
In this context, UGT and CCOO have coordinated their presence since first thing in the morning at the industrial estates of Arazuri, Agustinos and Landaben, in the Comarca de Pamplona, with the aim of strengthening the strike’s follow-up.
"We are at Bidean, carrying out an information picket. From the first hour, the information pickets travel around Navarre to inform, mobilize and defend our rights," UGT said in a message on the social network X. "Today is not a normal day; it is a day to raise our voices and defend our rights," it added.
On the same social network, CCOO de Navarra has shared a statement from the organization at the national level in which it highlights the "wide follow-up" of the strike in the first shifts.
On the other hand, ELA and LAB have gathered early in front of the Volkswagen Navarra plant, located in the Landaben industrial estate. At this site, LAB has denounced that "the National Police have tried to obstruct the work of the picket."
Throughout the day, the trade union headquarters have scheduled various mobilizations both in Pamplona and in other Navarre municipalities, which take place from first thing in the morning and will continue until the afternoon.
Among other actions, UGT and CCOO have called for a demonstration that will start at 17:30 from Avenida de Zaragoza, in front of the headquarters of both organizations, in Pamplona. Likewise, the unions ELA, LAB, ESK, Steilas, Etxalde, Hiru, Sindicato Socialista de Vivienda and Red de Sindicatos de Vivienda de Euskal Herria have jointly organized a march at 12:30 from Plaza del Castillo.
