Demonstration
A gathering in Sant Francesc's Constitució square is planned for 12 noon on March 8 as part of the activities programme put together by the local chapter of Espai Dones and supported by the Formentera Council. For those individuals who wish to take part in the demonstration even if they decide not to join the general strike, Council staff other than those on the above list will not be required to be present at their posts from 12 noon to 2.00pm.

Female CiF cabinet councillors, who plan to join the feminist strike, have cleared the public agenda on March 8. The councillors will resume office work after attending the Espai Dones-organised events.
