LA LINEA/ALGECIRAS (Agencies/Photo: EuropaSur) Anybody who has had to go through the court system in Spain is likely to be in sympathy with his cause. Or anyone who has tried to get paid by a council... These are two of the reasons Salustiano Muñoz del Campo has been on hunger strike for 20 days so far outside the courtrooms in Algeciras. He has been asking to get paid what is recognized as a debt by La Linea Council. He has been accused of blackmail and all sorts of other nice epithets but he says he will go to the end to get his money. He is there night and day, taking only liquids, and his family friends and sympathizers are getting very worried. He has been in hospital thanks to his strike, before that he had a restraining order because he kept protesting in front of La Linea Mayor Alejandro Sanchez's home and offices and went to jail for breaking it. He is owed €72,000, of which he has been paid €20,000, but he is claiming €650,000 in damages, which the court is asking him to prove. In the meantime, Salustiano carries on...
