Unions clamoured yesterday against labour and social poverty in demonstrations around the country. The rejection of “illicit enrichment of a minority” while workers lose their rights and working conditions was unanimous. The main march in Barcelona attracted about 50,000 people according to unions CCOO and UGT (9,000 according to police), and leaders of both organisations demanded the repeal of the 2012 PP labour reforms, “which permits legal labour exploitation,” in the words of UGT leader, Camil Ros who said the alternative is a general strike.
