The PSOE has announced that it will request the convocation of an extraordinary and urgent plenary session due to the strike at the Tourist Centers and has lashed out at the management of this conflict by its government partner. In a press release, the socialists describe it as "demented" that this situation has been reached, "with the Centers on strike in the middle of August, without the rest of the political forces present in the Corporation having received any prior information."
"The Cabildo Plenary, constituted as the General Board of the EPEL, is the highest decision-making body of the public company and some seem to have forgotten it," said Socialist Councilor Andrés Stinga, who described the attitude of the political leadership of the Centers as "irresponsible", "which has allowed this situation to be reached without the knowledge and participation of the parties that are part of the Plenary."
Stinga has also criticized "the absurdity of having informed the sector the night before the start of the strike." "We cannot understand that hotels and agencies are notified at eight o'clock on the night before the strike, without any time to react. It represents a new intolerable irresponsibility, because to the inevitable damages of a strike are added the inconveniences derived from the clumsiness of not having a strategy to mitigate the damages, which begins by keeping the agents of the sector informed," the socialists denounce.
"We have to be able to reach an agreement, but for that we need information, which has been lacking, and the ability to negotiate, which seems to be conspicuous by its absence," questioned the PSOE councilor.
