He added: “The Government has given nothing but crumbs. And we want the whole bakery (…) We want all the urgent demands of all affected sectors, of all mobilized sectors, to be met.”

In the same vein, the leaders of the inter-union student body expressed themselves, promising to continue with the mobilization until the Government assumes their demands and called for joining the new day of strikes and demonstrations scheduled for next Tuesday, called by the unions.
