Parties show solidarity with BSH workers and call for measures in the industrial sector
Representatives of UPN, PSN and EH Bildu have expressed their solidarity with BSH workers after the company has confirmed the closure of the Eskirotze plant.
Following the meeting of the Bureau and the Board of Speakers of the Navarre Parliament, Javier Esparza UPN said it was "the worst news" they could have had and showed his support for the workers before asking the government to relocate and seek a solution.
"It is time to reindustrialize Navarre, to move from words to deeds. Decisions must be taken to change the trend. What Chivite is showing is that he has no political strength to defend the interests of the workers. In addition to making statements, he can provide solutions. Besides rejecting what? That's enough? The presidency is for that, to prevent such closures."
Ramón Alzórriz PSN's spokesman has also expressed his "solidarity" with BSH workers and has agreed with the president that the company's communication with the workers has been "a huge mistake."
However, he has confirmed that they have not yet "finished their work" because they are talking to "companies that have come to see the factory." "Obviously management doesn't care about families. We care about them, we will continue to work.
Since EH Bildu, Laura Aznar has said that "it is unacceptable for a profit-making company to leave hundreds of workers on the streets. It is a total contempt for them and for our territory." She has therefore called on the government to "continue to seek alternatives for workers and for Eskiroz and industrial activity in Navarre."
