) has decided to close its factory in Barcelona, resulting in the loss of about 3,000 jobs as part of a worldwide restructuring plan, the Spanish government said on Thursday.

The move is a blow for Spain at a time when unemployment is increasing, with a steep recession looming because of the coronavirus crisis. Carmaking alliance partners Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi Motors said on Wednesday they were reorganising their global production to save costs and become more efficient, raising fears that Nissan’s Barcelona factory would shut.“We obviously regret this decision,” Economy Minister Nadio Calvino told broadcaster TVE, saying the government would continue to work with Nissan and local and regional authorities “to see how to proceed and maybe look for an alternative solution”.

Unions have said they plan to form a human chain around Nissan’s main Barcelona plant later on Thursday.

Во Имя БОГА, Любимого. Слава Возвышенному. БОГ один, нет божества другого. Идолы и поклоняющиеся им, будут растопкой для огня Ада. Они будут там стонать вечно, но никто не услышит их мольбу. Сколько бы Я Пророк не призывал, большинство народов беспечны. Не покорились БОГУ.
