Unión General De Trabajadores
The Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT, General Union of Workers) is a major Spanish trade union, historically affiliated with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). History The UGT was founded 12 August 1888 by Pablo Iglesias Posse in Mataró (Barcelona), with Marxist socialism as its ideological basis, despite its statutory apolitical status. Until its nineteenth Congress in 1920, it did not consider class struggle as a basic principle of trade union action. Being a member of the UGT implies an affiliation to the PSOE and vice versa. During World War I era, the UGT followed a tactical line of close relationship and unity of action with the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT, National Labour Confederation).

Madrid Central
Madrid Central is a low-emission zone located in the center of Madrid. It was inaugurated on November 30, 2018. There is little industry in the center of the city, and vehicular traffic has been responsible for a significant proportion of emissions there. Madrid Central was not Spain's first low-emission zone, because Pontevedra had effectively created such a zone by pedestrianising much of its city center. Barcelona announced the implementation of a low emission zone from the beginning of 2020. History Prior to the introduction of the Madrid Central scheme, traffic had already been restricted in the city and residents' cars had been given priority for parking in Residential Priority Areas. (Spanish: ''Área de Prioridad Residencial'' or ''APR''). Madrid Central was approved by the Governing Board of the City Council of Madrid on October 29, 2018. Its inauguration was initially scheduled for November 23, 2018, but was delayed until November 30, 2018 due to the re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
