Workers at the Repsol industrial complex in Tarragona held a demonstration this Thursday, March 26, to oppose a new management model that threatens structural job security.

The protest began at 6:00 AM at the facility's main gates. The works council warns that the company's plan involves cutting 26 positions in departments that are already under significant operational stress.

"Repsol is proposing that we do the same work or more with fewer resources."

Union leaders highlighted that these cuts come despite Repsol reporting profits of 1.899 billion euros in 2025, an 8.1% increase. They demand a real dialogue that prioritizes the well-being of the local workforce over centralized decisions from Madrid.
