- Stellantis cites maintenance and an operational readjustment designed to expedite the arrival of supplies before the restart.
- The stoppage covers models built at El Palomar, including the Peugeot 208, 2008 and Partner, plus the Citroën Berlingo.
- Employees under the collective agreement receive 70% of usual wages per terms signed with the Unión Obrera Metalúrgica on February 3.
