The Mayor of Cambrils, Oliver Klein, decided to take over the Human Resources department, previously held by Mar España, to unblock the labor conflict with municipal employees this Tuesday.

The portfolio change occurs almost a year after the municipal government was formed and amid high tension with the staff, who have called protests demanding labor improvements. Klein stated that the action was "consensual" with the governing partners, the PSC and the PP.

"Now it will be my turn to deal with it."

The decision was announced at 10 AM, hours before the unions were scheduled to hold a press conference demanding the councilor's resignation. Klein thanked España for her work; she will remain in the municipal government as the Councilor for Social Welfare.

"We detected that now there had to be a technical change."

The Mayor called for "responsibility" from union representatives to "seek solutions" and emphasized that some worker demands are already being implemented, such as creating new positions and paying salary arrears, although he acknowledged that "Doing this complex work is not the work of a single day."
