At the beginning of March, the machinery was on the Poniente beach in La Línea de la Concepción: its objective was to collect all the seaweed that the sea had thrown onto the sand to leave it clean for use during the beach season. The calculations when the work was more or less finished were quite striking: in two months they had to remove 500 tons of invasive algae. This beach in Cádiz is just one example: year after year and month after month, the municipalities of the coast face the algae that remain stranded in the sandbanks, known as arribazones. Algae are part of the marine flora, which when they are thrown onto the sand and are simply a dead organism —and even more so when it comes to invasive species— become a problem.

The workshops warn of the lack of professionals and generational relief, in a country with close to 30 million vehicles and as guarantors of their correct maintenance for the benefit of road safety. The lack of vocations is such that they are being forced to lower the selection criteria to attract workers from other sectors, such as factory workers or field workers, according to Euromaster. There are even cases from image and sound. This situation is the result of a lack of vocations and professional training that is not being able to generate quarry in the workshop sector.

It was not another March 8. All eyes were on the leaders of the demonstrations and their power to convoke, on the possible confrontations between the different sensibilities of the feminist movement and on the place occupied by the main political leaders.
