Thousands of prison officials, some 4,000 according to the association Your Abandonment Can Kill Me, have protested this Wednesday in Madrid to denounce the "abandonment" and the unfulfilled promise of the Ministry of the Interior to match their salary with that of Catalan prison workers , which charge 500 euros a month more than average.
