Worker fired after reporting chemical abuse at company party in Santander: “They killed me while I was alive”

Last June, a famous real estate company celebrated its 30th anniversary with a national convention in Santander. Its thousands of workers from all over Spain were invited. A young woman from Zaragoza went with a friend to take part in the big party that ended up becoming a nightmare for her. The only thing she remembers is having a drink and, immediately afterwards, waking up in a hotel bed completely naked, with marks from blows on her body and vaginal pain.
