Residents announce a hunger strike in Almogía to demand repairs to a local road

The group of locals in Almogía who have been holding a sit-in at their Town Hall since the beginning of March have announced a hunger strike, which Europa Press reports starts on Thursday, as they continue with their protests to demand repairs to a local road.

Eight kilometres of the A-7075 have been closed to traffic for the past 15 months, since it was affected by subsidence after heavy rainfall.

The group said in a statement on Wednesday that they want a written commitment from the Junta de Andalucía of the regional government’s support in addressing the problem. The group has accused both the Town Hall and the Junta of extortion, manipulation and obstruction during their two month protest.
