In Marbella only one of the 13 judges in service opted to work; in Antequera none of the three worked; in Vélez-Málaga both judges opted to strike; in Torrox one of the two stayed away; in Fuengirola only two of the seven worked today; in Torremolinos it was the other way round with two of the eight going on strike and two of the three in Ronda supported the action as did both judges in Coín.
The judges associations have classed the action as "successful" in terms of the support it received and the minimum disruption caused as a result to the public.
