Overview
- Revolta Pagesa opened one lane to the Port of Tarragona after securing a meeting with Catalan president Salvador Illa today, while preparing to wind down that specific action.
- Key roadblocks continue elsewhere in Catalonia, including the AP-7 at Pontós and stretches of the C-16 and C-38, with Girona leaders demanding “tangible” measures rather than promises.
- In Galicia, protesters partially reopened the A-52 toward Madrid after an agreement with the Guardia Civil, but they kept the opposite direction closed and vowed to hold their ground.
- Farmers in Álava launched a new tractor protest on the A-1 with permission to occupy the right lane, signaling further actions as organizers denounce unfair competition under the pact.
- The EU–Mercosur deal is slated for signature on 17 January in Paraguay with Ursula von der Leyen attending, and recent EU safeguards plus France’s €300 million package have not quelled the unrest.
