Also, Torre has warned the Ministry of “uncontrollable actions” in which can lead to the strike.
Garcia stressed the harmony with the Government of Asturias, has denounced the “numantina position” of Spain and denounced police actions in which “crushed” to miners and handcuffed, while Villa believes that the government does policy, but that casts a “pulse” of mining to see who wins, because its purpose is to eliminate the labor movement.
