Asturian Miners on March to Madrid

March to Madrid from Asturias is underway. Some of the marchers have assured reporters that they "hearts sink" when away from Asturias but were happy to receive the solidarity of the inhabitants of mining regions.

On the other hand, unions march organizers today announced the opening of a checking account (BBVA 0182 2370 43 0201528433) to receive financial contributions in order to keep their protests after 28 days of indefinite strike.

PLEASE SEND ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE MINERS ASAP.
