Two arrested in the Alhambra for preventing access during a picket

This Wednesday, the National Police arrested two members of an information picket gathered at the gates of the Alhambra on the occasion of the general strike after they attacked the agents who were trying to facilitate the access of two workers to the Granada monument.

As reported to EFE by the National Police, the events occurred around 8:00 a.m., when two employees of the Alhambra who intended to enter the monument to return to their jobs asked the agents to facilitate access due to the impossibility of doing so due to the action of the pickets.

The agents opened a corridor for this purpose and the reaction of the pickets, according to the Police, was to attack the police officers and the workers, for which two of them were arrested.

Both the Housing Union and the CNT had announced an information picket at the Alhambra ticket offices early this Wednesday.

Moments of tension were also experienced last night in the Granada Metro depots after, according to the Police, a picket occupied the tracks preventing the departure of one of the trams that was fulfilling the minimum services, without any injuries or arrests.

The general secretary of UGT in Granada, Luis Miguel Gutiérrez, has referred to this "altercation" as the only notable one at the moment in this Andalusian capital, while the head of CCOO Organization in Granada, Rafael León, has considered that the police action has entered "within normality" in a strike information picket.

Among the members of the pickets concentrated in the Granada Metro was the Andalusian parliamentarian of Adelante Andalucía Inma Manzano, who has reported having been "pushed" by the agents in an action in which, she says, the Secretary of Organization of the formation, Néstor Salvador, has been "attacked."

"We cannot tolerate that they do not allow us the right to strike," said Manzano.
