We have received the following email from our Barcelona partners:
“You may have seen on the news that the situation in Catalonia between pro-independence and against is getting worse. Last Monday a condemnatory sentence by the General Court against the pro-independence politicians was announced.
That has caused a huge reaction in all Catalonia territory, with 110 flights cancelled from Barcelona Airport in one day, and cuts of the main roads throughout the territory. Also, maybe you’ve seen last night images of Barcelona city centre literally on fire.
This next Friday, the 18th, a strike has been confirmed. At the moment, one the dockers union has confirmed they’ll go on strike. Several popular associations are already marching in all the territory in order to keep on blocking main roads and, for sure, airport again.
We are doing our best to develop the activity under normal conditions. But due to the circumstances we cannot assure no shipment will be affected. In any case, we will giving information case by case“
