Things are not happy in Jerez. The town council has run out of money, and health workers as well as public workers have taken to the streets to protest about more than a year of cuts, delayed pay and the threat of redundancies. Even the annual Feria has been scaled back.
The fantasticVinoble international sweet and fortified wine fair which takes place every two years in the Alcazar has been cancelled due to lack of council funds.
The Consejo Regulador of Jerez is looking for a new president as a result of the resignation of Antonio Fernandez, and is hoping to appoint somebody by the end of June. Sr Fernandez, in his other role as a minister of employment in the Junta de Andalucia, has been charged with certain falsifications and is in custody after bail was refused.
All this, and the woes of Nueva Rumasa and the potential redundancies....me hace llorar!
