In response to ongoing protests in the agricultural sector, Luis Planas, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, has scheduled a meeting with the organizations Asaja, COAG, and UPA for Thursday. These protests have been taking place in Spain for over a week and have recently escalated.
Today, farmers in Catalonia gathered for the eighth consecutive day, causing disruptions by blocking traffic on various roads, including the AP-7. Barricades made of burning tires and vegetation were set up, and tractors also arrived at Mercabarna, blocking two access points.
