Logroño, (EFE).- Some 70 people have gathered in front of the Government Delegation in La Rioja to stage the autopsy of the “corpse” of Justice and demand that the Ministry of Justice negotiate with the unions after a month of strike.
The person in charge of CSIF Justicia La Rioja, Javier Ochoa, has affirmed, in an informative meeting during this concentration, that although last week they represented the funeral of Justice, “due to the ineptitude and inaction of the Ministry, we are forced to stage the next step, the autopsy.”
This initiative has had its participants disguised as toilets and a mannequin lying on a stretcher to simulate the “corpse” of Justice, which “is going to cost a lot to recover,” he indicated.
As usual for a few weeks, this protest has had a large banner, which reads “Mobilization, Justice, Together we all win”; as well as with the logos of the calling unions: CSIF, UGT and CCOO.
Ochoa has specified that the general and indefinite strike that Justice officials began on the 22nd has a follow-up of 80 percent in La Rioja among the 340 workers, which, according to his data, has led to the suspension of between 80 and 100 trials and between 80 and 100 actions of civil justice.
101 suspended views
The La Riojan Executive has detailed to EFE, yesterday, the 29th, the follow-up of this strike was 24%, with 82 officials who seconded it.
According to the information sent by the Superior Court of Justice of La Rioja (TSJR), during the past week 101 hearings were suspended, of which 48 were civil, 32 criminal, 3 for contentious matters and 18 social.
Also, 25 criminal declarations were postponed and 80 civil registry actions were suspended; without recording incidents in the provision of minimum services.
“Despite the advancement of the general elections (to next July 23), the Ministry and the Government continue to function and have the capacity to negotiate and reach agreements,” Ochoa highlighted.
Even so, “we continue to demand the professional career and that our functions be recognized at the regulatory and remuneration level, especially when other bodies have had their salaries raised between 400 and 450 euros”, he stressed.
