The congress ended with the speech by the new General Secretary, Adolfo Muñoz, Txiki. In his first speech as General Secretary, Muñoz wanted to thank all the militants for their work.

Muñoz began by stressing that "struggles have to be shared in order to strengthen our collective identity. We have to overcome individualism so that we are not indifferent to injustices”.

Muñoz stressed the important role of the militants as "A trade union without membership is meaningless. We work for them and they give us the freedom to do so. And, therefore, we need more members to be stronger”.
