Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT)

The Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) is a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist labor union. Recent news focuses on six of its members, known as 'Las Seis de la Suiza' (The Six of Switzerland), who were convicted and imprisoned in July of the previous year. The individuals, five women and one man, were sentenced to three and a half years. They are newsworthy because the Spanish government, specifically the Ministry of Labor, is set to approve a pardon for them. The pardon will be formally approved by the Council of Ministers. This development highlights the ongoing relevance of the CNT within the Spanish labor movement and raises questions about the circumstances surrounding the initial conviction of its members.
