Overview

• About 1,500 people marched in Madrid, according to the Government Delegation, while in Lleida police counted roughly 1,400 participants and organizers claimed around 2,000.
• The Madrid rally, convened by the Salvemos el Mundo Rural Agredido movement and backed by about 50 groups, advanced from Atocha to Cibeles to decry rural abandonment and large-scale projects.
• In Lleida, a tractor led the march and protesters dumped compost and manure at the regional Agriculture office in a symbolic action before the demonstration ended without incidents.
• Protesters cited specific threats including Greenalia’s proposed Lopera solar park, the Cañaveral lithium mine, a biogas plant in Machacón, and a planned macro biogas facility in La Sentiu de Sió, alongside new high‑voltage power lines.
• Catalan Agriculture minister Òscar Ordeig said certain biogas proposals date to earlier administrations and described biogas plants as an opportunity that should be evaluated through territorial planning.
