I'm not even going to bother answering your claims that are just that, claims with no proof of anything of what you just said. The links on my previous post where just a really quick search and are also about stuff that happened in the last maybe 30 days or so.

If you try and look for news about employee conflicts with Mercadona, or their really aggressive commerce practices with their suppliers (while trying to avoid all the covert advertising bullshit on every single one piece of mass media) you will find out the real shit they are and the big piece of crap that Juan Roig in particular is, but sometimes it finds it's way on the news, even if they have to deliberately delete the logos because of bad press...

There is a reason why everyone says Mercadona doesn't advertise their product on TV or magacines... of course they don't, it's all covert advertising, "this is the new mercadona cream that everyone is talking about", "this new mercadona piece of shit will save you hundreds this winter"... and bullshit like that, try it, try google it and see what comes up.

All media wants to get their money from them, so GL trying to get the word out with their abuses and malpractices, but it's there and if you try, you will find out that they are a big piece of shit.

Spains Mercadonas CEO. They follow a very respected model where the consumer is the first priority, then the employees. Works great and they still make a shitton of money. Things like closing sundays because employees should have a life, etc. Employee rotation is super low.

Is this for real? you mean Juan Roig, the guy who forced his employees to work during last DANA (aka 2024 floods in Spain, in which more than 200 spanish people died under it's effects, here is some local news with a capture of one of their delivery vans in which their logo has been deliberately deleted).

Who also had to let their workers stay at home because of popular pressure after they tryed to once again force them to work on subsequent climate alerts, who also tryed to force them to take vacation days if they didn't show up to work...

Who is also well know in the country besides their practices to flood mass media with covert advertising for pressuring their employees beyond the limits of legality?

Who also publicly threatened some guys who happened to come cross him on one of his supermarkets who recriminated his practices?

BTW in Spain all shops stay closed on Sundays except on a few rare occasion every year on a few sectors, but reading what you just wrote maybe some of them still work on Sundays...

Can't speak for other situations but as spanish I must clarify that the reasons why the Spanish PP party "observers" were kicked out is because they lacked the proper VISA to be officially electoral observers and the proper invitation to act as such from the electoral authorities from Venezuela, which more than 1000 observers from the whole electoral field (some of them far right BTW) managed to get, because they followed the proper bureaucracy to get them. They traveled on a tourist VISA and when they got rejected they claimed in social media as if they were almost being kidnapped by Venezuelan authorities. An embarrassment for my country is what they are...
