After the talks were interrupted, no solution had been found by yesterday for the general strike of the workers of the metallurgical combine. According to our correspondents, the situation is serious in several departments, where a shortage of raw materials and delays in payment have led to work being suspended. The workers are demanding payment of overdue wages, improved working conditions, and the provision of electricity. Union representatives stated that the government has still not given a precise deadline for solving these problems and that the promises made so far have remained on paper. In several other enterprises in the area, the situation is similar, with a lack of investment and falling production. Sources from the local administration said that efforts are being made to normalize the situation, but without giving further details. Meanwhile, the strikers are warning that they will escalate their protest if their demands are not taken into account.

According to the newspaper's sources, part of the public debate has also focused on the government's stance in the face of the many economic and social problems. Analysts and opposition representatives have pointed to the lack of a clear program for reviving production and curbing unemployment. Government officials, for their part, maintain that the measures taken will have an effect in the coming months. However, discontent continues to grow on the ground, especially in industrial areas and in enterprises where wages have been delayed for months.
