Despite opposition from the Banks the regional government is proposing that the conserve factories in Calasparra and Campos del Rio, property of Halcon Foods, become a workers´ cooperative and claim to have a company which is interested in joining the “society.”
Inevitably the Banks, who are the major creditors of Cofrusa with debts in excess of 26 million euros, will oppose the move to refloat the factories which is aimed at protecting employment posts in the two areas.
The Ministry of Promotion and the trade union, UGT, which support the plan, are currently involved in legal proceedings against the owners of Cofrusa for fraud and misappropriation of funds.
