Capitalist collapse: Shops looted for food kitchens

UPDATE..10/08– Five members of the SAT Union have now been arrested for the supermarket robberies. ”Not content with wholesale corruption (hundreds have been charged with robbing public funds) , destroying services and abolishing social security payments for longer term unemployed, the rightwing PP politicians have ordered the jailing of those who try to mitigate the social emergency..”


LEADERS of a workers’ union in southern Spain staged a massive raid on two supermarkets on Tuesday, filling at least 30 trolleys with staple foodstuffs to give to the poor.
They gave their entire haul to local ‘food banks’ which supply hampers to families who no longer have any income to be able to feed themselves. The Sindicato Andaluz de Trabajadores (SAT), or workers’ union of the Andalucía region, staged an uninvited supermarket sweep on Mercadona in Écija (Sevilla) and Carrefour in Arcos de la Frontera (Cádiz). Mayor of Marinaleda (Sevilla), Juan Manuel Sánchez Gordillo, is thought to have been involved in the Mercadona raid.
The regional minister for the interior has given the green light for all parties involved who are found to be arrested and tried.
