More than 15,000 workers in the tourism and hotel sector of Lanzarote, integrated in the companies grouped in the island's tourism association, ASOLAN, will participate this Tuesday, February 17, in the solidarity strike as a sign of condolences and pain from the largest labor sector on the island of volcanoes in the face of the tragic outcome in which 21 immigrants who were trying to reach the coast of Conejera died on Sunday evening.
The Lanzarote tourism association, chaired by Susana Pérez, has promoted this initiative in all the island's hotel and non-hotel complexes, which have also been joined by hotel and tourism-related companies, and will simultaneously hold a strike and observe a few minutes of silence, starting at 12 noon, as a sign of sorrow and solidarity with the victims and their families. Among the people who died while traveling in the boat were 15 minors and a pregnant woman.
The president of ASOLAN, together with the members of her board of directors, will participate in the central event that will take place this Tuesday at 12 noon outside the Arrecife Gran Hotel, where condolences will be expressed for this tragic shipwreck of the weak boat when it arrived in the Los Cocoteros area.
The accommodation complexes of Lanzarote, integrated in Lanzarote, have joined the three days of official mourning established by the First Institution of the Island. Until Wednesday, the flags will be lowered in the hotels of the island of volcanoes as a sign of mourning.
