The lifeguards claim that the beaches lack essential facilities such as first-aid modules, toilets, showers and buoys, arguing that this “is not management, but abandonment.”
They have also warned of a situation of “total insecurity,” with “constant thefts” affecting beach users and even the lifeguard service itself. “Safety is not an expense, it is a necessity,” they stated.
For these reasons, they have called a demonstration on May 28th in Plaça de Cort, followed by a general strike on June 24th.
