Marie Claire is facing an inescapable shutdown, and the clock is ticking. In the coming days, labor unions and the lawyers representing For Men, the Madrid-based company that took control of the textile group last August, will form a commission charged with negotiating severance packages and the compensation owed to the 72 workers. These professionals have not received at least four months of wages, a backlog that weighs heavily on the workforce. The decision is described by the circle around Ángel Pío Sánchez Pérez, the sole administrator of For Men, as a deeply regrettable turn of events and one they believe could have been avoided if the company had not endured seventy days with its accounts blocked, a period that catalyzed financial distress and contributed to the erosion of the business. The situation has broad implications for the local economy, the suppliers, and the families counting on a fair settlement as the process unfolds.
