Overview
- Coordinated groups from the six public universities confirmed a minimum two-day walkout at the end of November, with final dates to be announced next week.
- The regional draft budget allocates €1,239.7 million for 2026, up 6.5% from 2025, which the platforms label a stagnant share of GDP rather than a real gain.
- The coalition demands movement toward 1% of Madrid’s GDP for university financing, pointing to CYD data that shows chronic underfunding versus OECD and EU averages.
- Some campuses have proposed 26–27 November for the strike while assemblies finalize plans, and organizers say an open-ended protest remains on the table.
- Beyond the budget dispute, the groups aim to block the LESUC and intend to intensify mobilization before the Assembly’s expected budget approval in December.
