A STRIKE E INTOLERABLE What happened this bridge of the Constitution with air traffic controllers has no description. The strike of this group has been irresponsible, inappropriate and destructive to the image of our country. Have not been complied with minimum services and impunity has left thousands of passengers stranded.
Although the electoral revenue opportunities are not left waiting by some political groups, it is true that for the first time the government did the right thing to do, took control of the situation and used the means he had to his credit for seeking to enforce the law, although it passed through the militarization of English airspace or warning statement. I understand that what matters in these situations is to return to the quiet service to the city, at any rate, if at all possible is restored to normal, but this disproportionate action passes. It is better to err on the side of defect.
citizens now expect exemplary and strong penalties to all those who have left their jobs without proper reasons. Someone must bear the consequences, so there are three sides to claim responsibility, road work, the court and individual complaints, criminal and civil, who presented the citizens.
In terms of work, after being forced by the army and Civil Guard to return to work, AENA has opened disciplinary proceedings to 442 professionals who do not show up, or left their job. The opening of disciplinary proceedings may involve from away "definitely" the job to the controller, until the end of the file "without any penalty" through the suspension without pay. In addition, several prosecutors have opened legal proceedings to decide whether unruly drivers have committed a crime. Being able to face a possible crime of sedition is punishable up to eight years in prison.
At the time that the Ministry of Defence has taken charge of air traffic, according to the military justice system, drivers have to abide by the military courts are de facto military in the legal aspect. An Army officer is in each air traffic control center and ensuring that civil controllers do their work.
If these fail or not work, the military would hand over the military judge and the Judicial Police for unruly drivers were arrested and punished.
Military Penal Code, within the disciplinary offenses, provides in its Article 91 the "military sedition 'that specifies the military that "refuses to obey the lawful orders received, failed to meet the other duties of the service, or threaten, offend or offends a superior shall be punished with one to ten years imprisonment, in the case of mere executors, and with two to fifteen in the case of the promoters of the leader to be put in charge of sedition. "
He adds: "If the facts were to take place at risk the safety of the ship or aircraft against insurgents or rebels, resorting to weapons or assaulting a superior, the penalties will be ten to twenty years imprisonment."
Another part of the impact the complaints up users, the courts should provide an outlet for the many complaints from concerned travelers than by the civil or criminal, seeking compensation to the damage that has caused this situation. AENA has reported that in the past two days has received 5,000 complaints.
As for the numbers: 2,710 flights were canceled, there are millions in losses and almost 600,000 passengers were affected. All this combined with the bad image of our country by reason of the closure of airspace and its global impact, it will cost us dearly, and economic and financial implications will not wait.
