Catalan prison officials continue with their mobilizations that began after the murder on March 13 of the head chef of the Mas d’Enric prison at the hands of an inmate. This Tuesday, around twenty workers stood at the doors of the Department of Justice in Barcelona where the second meeting between the administration and the sector’s union representatives was to be held. An appointment to which the unions already announced on Monday night that they would not attend after the pressure received by the staff who insist that the current political leaders of the department led by councilor Gemma Ubassart are not recognized as interlocutors to negotiate a way out of the conflict.
“There are things that are not negotiated and one of them is our dignity. We are going to work in fear and this situation is unsustainable,” said one of the workers. For this Tuesday’s protest, the officials wore their uniform jackets.
At the doors of the building, in the Free Zone, the General Directorate of the Police has deployed an important security device led by riot police from the Mobile Brigade of the Mossos d’Esquadra who have shielded the entire building with fences.
Among the officials who attended the protest this Tuesday, relatives of Nuria, the murdered cook, joined once again. This time there was one of her nephews who, like other prison workers, was wearing a T-shirt with a recent photograph of the victim and the phrase: “Nuria we will not forget you.”
