More strikes planned at airports across Spain on top of current action

:: SUR MADRID. Industrial unrest in Span- ish airports has rapidly turned into a headache for the government this summer and it’s possible that the strike action could rumble on for the rest of the year. With the dispute at Barcelona airport still unresolved, trade un- ions representing staff at AENA, the part-privatised national airport operator, have called for strike ac- tion from September 15th that will affect airports across the country. The existing dispute at Barcelona airport centres on staff checking pas- sengers through security who work for contractor Eulen. The employees are demanding an improvement to pay and conditions. Last week they voted to step up their action and this week extra Guardia Civil officers have been on duty to cover security checks during the periodic stoppages by Eulen staff. To the relief of passengers and the government, there has been no repeat of the long queues witnessed two weeks ago. AENA announces strike Now, in a separate dispute, unions are calling for employees at the 48 airports run by AENA to take ac- tion in protest over “precarious” working conditions. They had given the government, the major- ity shareholder, until last Wednes- day to meet with them, which did not happen, before announcing strikes. The unions have said that they still hope the government will start negotiating in the next few days to avoid disruption. The national stoppages won’t be consecutive and would be spread out between September and Christ- mas, including several key travel dates. Workers in many parts of the airports would be involved. Meanwhile, the government has approved measures to force com- pulsory arbitration in the ongoing Barcelona dispute. 20 August 18th to 24th 2017 NEWS SPAIN SUR IN ENGLISH

One group that has attended the festival for the past ten years is the Strathleven Artizans from West Dunbartonshire. The group was formed in 2006 and focuses on the history of Robert the Bruce, and of course, Sir James Douglas. Shortly after the group was formed, mem- bers visited Teba to pay homage to the Black Douglas and to see the site where the famous battle took place. First visit Duncan Thomson, Chairman of the Strathleven Artizans, told SUR in English that he was a little reluc- tant when first offered the oppor- tunity to visit the town. “One of our members was invited to a wedding in Cordoba and he asked if I would like to go.

The secret of no-sweat exercise: ‘slow

The method used by Emma Stone to prepare for La La Land is gaining popularity in Spain

:: RUBÉN CAÑIZARES Not many people, at the age of just 28, would find themselves going on-stage at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles to receive an Oscar for Best Actress, but Emma Stone did. Five months ago the Hollywood Academy awarded her the golden statuette for her brilliant perform- ance in La La Land, a musical with a demanding script which became an instant hit with lovers of the genre. This American actress’s perform- ance also came as an enormous sur- prise. How did Emma Stone man- age to have such a superb figure, and prove to be a fantastic singer as well as dancer? Her acting tal- ent was already well known any- way, but the critics were com- pletely overwhelmed by the strength of her voice and her slim, toned shape. What was her secret? It has now been revealed that it was down to a training plan known as ‘slow training’, which has be- come fashionable in Spain over the last few months.

Míchel’s arrival in March had brought to the club has been some- what diluted by the dreary presea- son performances. The run of poor form could be put down to several factors. The departures of key players have damaged the strength of the first eleven. The losses of goalkeeper Kameni (to Fenerbahçe), De- fender Llorente (to Real Madrid and now on loan at Real Sociedad) and Midfielder Camacho (to Ger- man side Wolfsburg) are among some of the more damaging blows to the squad. Efforts made Malaga have been active in this summer transfer window.

THE SEVEN DIFFERENCES CLOCKWORD OO

THE STARS CRYPTIC CROSSWORD Nº 11255 Aquarius January 21 - February 19 Getting out of one situation may prove a chore but have patience. Stick to your guns.

Pisces February 20th – March 20th Over the next month you should check THE WORDPUZZLER up on both your bodily health and your financial health.

Aries March 21st – April 20th Something that you thought of at the beginning of the year comes around again. This time, however, it is more practical and more relevant.

Stars get out their glitter for a good cause

Spanish and international celebrities joined actor Antonio Banderas at this year’s Starlite charity gala

:: HUGO SIMÓN MARBELLA. The red carpet was rolled out at the Starlite Festival last weekend for the annual charity gala where stars and celebrities show off their enthusiasm for a good cause. Actor Antonio Banderas, who is behind the charity gala along with Starlite organiser Sandra García-San- juán, arrived with girlfriend Nicole Kimpel and her sister Barbara. They were joined by flamenco dancer Sara Baras, who was one of the recipients of the Starlite awards for charitable works, along with singer Miguel Poveda, actress Loles León, Marbella chef Dani García and Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Pa- blo Simeone. As tradition now dictates - the event is in its eighth year - Banderas stamped his signature on a car brought in by sponsors Ford, on this occasion a blue Mustang. “We all do our little bit,” said Ban- deras modestly as organisers revealed that the event had so far raised 2.2 Antonio Banderas with Nicole Kimpel, her sister Barbara, Sandra García-Sanjuán and television presenter Anne Igartiburu. :: JOSELE-LANZA million euros, helping 100,000 fami- lies and providing schooling for total also promises to be high.
