The supply of fresh food across Spain and GIbraltar could be interrupted for three days starting on Monday.
Spain’s National Road Transportation Committee has announced a strike for the 20th, 21st and 22nd of December to protest what it calls the Spanish government’s failure to address a crisis in the sector: a rise in the cost of diesel, described as a “deathblow to a sector that has been struggling since before the pandemic.”
GBC understands a maritime shipment from the UK has also been cancelled, further limiting the supply of fresh produce over the Christmas period: key days when, normally, more is sold than at any other time of the year.
How will this impact consumers on the Rock? Hopefully, not too badly, with local businesses taking steps to soften the blow.
