The tractor units continue in Girona and Lleida
This Thursday morning, Catalan farmers continue the tractor units that have been cutting some of the main roads in Girona and Lleida since Tuesday. Some cuts that, as some of the organizers announced yesterday Wednesday afternoon, will last indefinitely.
Concentrations in Girona
As reported by the Catalan Traffic Service (SCT), in Girona the concentrations in Pontós are maintained, which cut off the AP-7 from Borrassà to Vilademuls and the N-II from Bàscara to Vilamalla, as well as the one that cuts off the N-152 in Puigcerdà
Cuts in Lleida
In Lleida, the closures of the AP-2 in Aitona, the C-14 in Bassella and the N-230 and N-260 in Pont de Suert continue
Meeting called by the Climate Action Minister
The minister for Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda of the Generalitat, David Mascort, announced this Wednesday that he was calling for this Thursday at 11 a.m. at the Ministry’s headquarters in Barcelona a meeting with the Peasant Platform, after 2 days of new protests and with the dissatisfaction of the sector that Mascort did not personally attend the meetings scheduled for yesterday (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artículo_(gramática)).
Proposal of the Generalitat
Several union spokespersons and the Revolta Pagesa movement explained last night that the decision to prolong the cuts has been adopted after receiving a proposal from the Generalitat that they described as “ridiculous.” The different spokespersons agree that the only person who can put an end to the protest is the Minister of Climate Action, David Mascort, if he accepts some of the protesters’ demands.
Solidarity of farmers in Northern Catalonia
Yesterday some farmers from Northern Catalonia and Occitania joined the protests in Pontós, in “solidarity” with Catalan farmers for their “shared” problems. In this sense, they have highlighted the importance of cooperation between regions and the need to address issues such as climate change and the agroecological transition (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_(grammatical)).
