And many don't want to understand....
Let's try again.
The Spanish Governemnet have sent in the Military to SUPERVISE or GUARD, if you like, the air traffic control installations and staff. The Military Controllers will not be directly active. This will give the Government direct control/supervision of the civilian air traffic controllers.
The Ministerial Council tomorrow will further increase the supervision/control by declaring a State of Alarm, which will give the Government far reaching powers to require the civilian air traffic controllers to report to work, which if they refuse will be prosecuted under the exceptional powers of the State of Alaram.
The Madrid Public Prosecutor is collecting evidence of the wild cat strike and if this evidence supports his cause, he will charge the Air Traffic Controllers, who abandoned their posts and those that did not report for duty or refused to work, with Sedition or if you wish Subversive Acts. The group of about 100 controllers meeting at the Hotel Auditorium close to Madrid Airport, since about 1700hrs this afternoon when they abandoned their posts and closed all air traffic in Spain, have been required to identify themsleves by the Guardia Civil.
