JIMENA (Press release) Given the significance of this day, the municipal Consumer Department headed by Councillor Juana Jiménez, invites residents to make use of the resources available at municipal level regarding the rights of consumers. There is an information service that has been attending to complaints for a number of years at the Reina Sofía Cultural Centre in Los Ángeles, which works in cooperation with the Unión de Consumidores de Andalucía (UCE-Cádiz, or Consumers' Union in the province of Cádiz). This is where several hundred people>

The municipal department has also offered lectures, workshops and information campaigns on the subject. UCE-Cádiz recently pointed to this office as one of the most active in the province.
