Part of the Catalan farmers will move their protest to Barcelona tomorrow, so the city could suffer cuts and congestion in several sections during the day. Several assemblies decided this Tuesday to extend the mobilization overnight and head towards the Catalan capital first thing in the morning. The intention is to take the tractors to the headquarters of the Department of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda. In total, some 4,000 tractors have been mobilized today in Catalonia, according to Unió de Pagesos. The union has called for another protest on February 13 in Catalonia and will support the one on the 21st of the same month in Madrid.
This is what the farmers who cut the A-2 in Ponent or in Central Catalonia have decided. The intention, he has announced, is to make slow marches with a tractor towards Barcelona. Those from the Berguedà, Bages and Solsonès areas, which cut off the C-16, will take the tractors to join those from Vallès on the C-55 and C-58. Similar decisions have been made in Tarragona and Girona. Furthermore, farmers in Lleida, Central Catalonia, Tarragona and Girona have agreed to spend the night on the road, to transfer their claim to the Catalan capital tomorrow morning.
As for the farmers of Ponent, who make up the majority of the tractors mobilized today, after spending the night on the road the column will descend towards Bruc, reports the ACN. The forecast of this column is that they will enter Barcelona along Diagonal Avenue, where the farm workers will leave the tractors and go to the headquarters of the European Commission, to the Spanish government delegation and finally to the Government headquarters to meet with the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès. The farmers’ representatives will give you a manifesto with their demands and the signatures they have collected.
In Tarragona they will also do so, so that they will maintain the 24-hour cut on the Montblanc roads that they can take over. However, some of the protesters will spend the night at home to rest before resuming the protest towards Barcelona. The forecast is that those who stay on the road will be there until seven in the morning and then leave for the Catalan capital.
