Members of the crew of the Pasaitarra Angel ship have always denied thatthey rebelled and attacked the skipper. Yesterday, in addition to completely refuting the version given by the ship's shipowner, they have denounced that they are being made to work "almost under conditions of slavery ", so they decided to say" enough". 

In the morning, 11 crew members, all of them Senegalese, gathered in Pasaia to explain their version to the ETB cameras. "Joakin (the shipowner) put up with everything (...)  When he threw the trash at us, we said we could no longer (...) We stopped working because he couldn't (...) call the Civil Guard and invented lies," they literally said.

A very different account was released yesterday by the shipowner, who claimed to have received threats and attacks from fishermen and filed three complaints at the Gijón Civil Guard police station.

The Senegalese fishermen have denied having threatened the shipowner and, among other things, have come to the Pasaitarra brotherhood in search of protection. Tomorrow they will meet with the LAB union.

Around 15:00, the emergency services received an alert callfroma boat fishing about 12 miles north of  Ribadesella  (Asturias). 

Upon learning of the incident, a Civil Guard patrol patrol sailedto assistthe fishing vessel . After seeing the ship north of Villaviciosa and contacting the captain, the situation was normalized and no intervention was required at sea.
