The workers of The Naval Sestao, you will be locked up tonight in the yard as a protest for the dismissal of the template, for which you have already begun to run the time limits.

Today will be held the first meeting of consultations of ERE.
then the template will be enclosed the yard from 22.00 hours until 6.00 hours of Tuesday morning.
in Addition to this closure, the template has a wide array of meetings and rallies that will culminate with a large demonstration on the day 1 of December in Bilbao, in which they want to involve the largest number of organizations and parties to pressure the basque Government, and central to that is involved in the search for a solution.
at the entry, has opened a petition on the platform change.org to ask you not to close the shipyard, Tuesday morning to meet with the deputy of Economic Promotion of the Bizkaia, Imanol Pradales, and on Wednesday the committee will attend the plenary of the General Meetings in Gernika where the juntero of Elkarrekin we Can, Josean Elgezabal will present a motion which asked “to participate to the extent of its possibilities, in favor of a public rescue of The Navy for the maintenance of employment.
Precisely, Elkarrekin we Can has insisted today that the public rescue of The Navy is legal because it does not contravene the rules of the European Union if there is a plan of viability to the medium and long term.
the Parliamentarians of this group have appeared at a press conference, accompanied by a member of the european parliament of we Can Xabier Benito, to insist on your bet for the continuity of this shipyard.
Benedict has explained that the last day 8 held a meeting with officials of the Bureau of Competition of the European Union to learn first-hand about their opinion on state aid to The Navy in its liquidation phase.
this meeting Benedict drew the conclusion that the European Commission has not done for the moment, “an official statement from Brussels on the legality of the aid (public) to The Naval”.
Also, from this meeting came out with the conviction that the company “has no limitation to receive aid” as a result of the bailouts public earlier, as it’s been more than ten years since these.
“The entry of public capital is entirely practicable after the liquidation process. The key is the existence of a viability plan for the company in the medium and long term”, has defended Benedict, who has also said that there is not a limitation of community that set the percentage of public participation to 49 per cent as advocated by the basque Government.
As an example, has referred to similar experiences in France or in Italy.
For all of this, it has shown optimistic regarding the possibility of a departure “viable” for this shipyard, “as long as there is a firm commitment of the basque government and Spain to articulate a plan of viability to the medium and long term” that is capable of arousing the interest of private investors.
On the same line, the parliamentary Elkarrekin we Can José Ramón Becerra has highlighted that what is pointed to by your colleague in the european Parliament it appears that “The Navy does not have limitations in order to receive public money”.
For this reason, has asked the regional government to “stop hiding” in the European Commission and work “decisively” with the Ministry of Industry to “articulate a viable solution” because there are “multiple alternatives legal and legal” to do so.
The committee is focusing its efforts in ensuring that the solution via aid or investment comes before they fully materialize redundancies, as they give assured that once dismissed it will be very difficult for a new investor, if it arrives, come back to hire them, at least in the same conditions that they currently have.
