The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, has announced a series of 18 measures divided into three categories following a meeting with the main agricultural organizations. He described the meeting as “positive” and revealed that another meeting is scheduled for the 26th. However, the organizations have stated that the planned protests will continue because there is still a considerable amount of work to be done, as acknowledged by COAG spokesperson Miguel Padilla. Demonstrations are scheduled for this Friday in Alicante, Santander, Zaragoza, and Segovia.
