General strike in León sees 1.4% participation, reports FELE

The León Business Federation (FELE) has reported a participation rate of 1.4% in the general strike across the province of León, based on data collected during the afternoon. The organisation noted that the strike day unfolded with minimal disruption to economic and labour activities, aside from minor incidents occurring during the early hours, particularly affecting the industrial sector.

FELE praised the exemplary conduct of both businesses and workers, which helped maintain a climate of normality and coexistence on the streets, with no significant reports of uncivil behaviour. Furthermore, the Federation expressed that the support for the strike in León indicates that this call to action was not the most suitable response to the current circumstances.

While affirming the importance of the right to strike, FELE also acknowledged the rights of those who chose to continue their activities as normal.
