National Police officers have arrested a 43-year-old man for allegedly perpetrating a burglary within a hospital in Elche. The private security personnel were aware of the suspect, who had broken into 14 containers in various locations he had visited, and they notified the police.

Although the individual fled to a nearby neighbourhood, patrols promptly apprehended him. Among his possessions, they found a variety of medical supplies and instruments purportedly used to break into the lockers.

This individual was apprehended by officers for the purported offence of burglary, as determined by the information gained. Following the police investigation, the detainee appeared before the investigating court on duty.

Arrested for an attempted assault at a different facility in Elche

An incident of violence against medical staff occurred at another local hospital in the wake of an attempted assault by a 34-year-old man who had recently been discharged.

The private security team of the centre was compelled to promptly intervene in response to the attacker’s aggressive behaviour, thereby preventing the situation from escalating and causing additional harm.

The individual was promptly apprehended by a police detail, who identified him as the alleged perpetrator of a crime that involved the assault and damage of healthcare workers. They subsequently arrested him.

Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) will allocate €1,415,203.59 to clean the rolling stock and workshops of Alicante TRAM for a period of one year from the commencement of the contract, which also includes the possibility of an additional year’s extension.

The contracted services ensure the quality and frequency of the necessary cleanings, both daily and non-daily, as well as any unforeseen incidents or problems, such as graffiti or any other form of vandalism, by considering all the requirements associated with the cleaning of TRAM d’Alacant’s rolling stock and workshops.

At present, the rolling stock of TRAM d’Alacant comprises 37 units: 22 Bombardier 4200 series trams; 9 TRAM trains from the former Vossloh España company, which is now Stadler Rail Valencia; and 6 dual-drive (electro-diesel) trains from Stadler Rail Valencia, which are manufactured in Albuixech. These trains were retired after the modernisation work on Line 9 between Benidorm and Dénia was completed.

The 37 units for maintenance are housed in the three facilities that are currently available: El Campello, Benidorm, and Dénia.

Auchan, a French retail chain that operates in Spain under the Alcampo brand, has announced its intention to close 25 stores throughout the country, which will result in the loss of 710 jobs.

According to reports, the decision is the consequence of evolving consumer preferences, which have led to an increasing preference for online purchases and smaller stores over traditional large-scale supermarkets.

The company is concentrating its strategy on the expansion of smaller store formats and the reinforcement of its digital retail channels in order to adjust to these changes.

The restrictions are scheduled to occur in 13 regions of Spain, including Madrid, Valencia, Galicia, Navarra, La Rioja, and Asturias.

Approximately 23,300 individuals are presently employed by Auchan in Spain. On May 8, labour unions were informed of the restructuring plan’s specifics during a meeting.

The organisation declared, “It is imperative to achieve sustainable growth and recover results in each and every shop during this transformation process.” This is the reason why Alcampo is implementing a staff modification plan, a decision that is both responsible and essential, despite its difficulty.

Auchan has not yet publicly identified the specific stores that are scheduled for closure, despite the fact that the CCOO trade union in Spain has reported obtaining a list of affected outlets, which includes several of its hypermarkets.

CCOO commented on the circumstance, stating, “This is the entirety of the information that the company has furnished us with.” The subsequent phase of this procedure, which was initiated by Alcampo management, is the establishment of a collective dismissal negotiating committee.

Auchan is required to submit all pertinent documentation during the initial meeting in order for union representatives to evaluate and commence negotiations, according to the union.

The union concluded, “At CCOO, we will confront this challenging situation, which is novel to the company, with the explicit understanding that the primary goal is to preserve employment and, in the event that employees depart, to guarantee that they do so in the most favourable manner possible.”

In late 2018, Auchan made the decision to eliminate over 2,000 positions in France as part of a broader restructuring initiative designed to stimulate development. This announcement is a continuation of that decision.
