Overview
- Early‑morning tractor blockades halted traffic on the AP‑7, N‑2, T‑11, A‑27 and other Catalan routes, causing backups up to 18 kilometers and restricting trucks on the C‑38.
- Revolta Pagesa and Unaspi led the mobilizations, with further actions planned in Guadalajara, Zamora, Burgos, Segovia, Soria and Valencia, as well as at the Port of Tarragona.
- A Girona farm guild spokesperson said some blockades are indefinite until the Mercosur pact is withdrawn, arguing it threatens farmers and food security.
- Around 100 tractors reached central Paris in a separate action organized by FNSEA and Coordinación Rural, assembling near the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe and criticizing the handling of the DNC livestock disease crisis.
- The timing targets a potential EU approval of the Mercosur agreement as soon as Friday after reported concessions to Italy, according to Spanish and French reports.
