Yesterday was a day that many Madridis will remember because the main access roads to the Puerta de Alcalâ were filled with tractor drivers honking their horns. Farmers gathered in the Puerta de Alcalâ and then marched towards the Ministry of Agriculture. Yesterday’s action of farmers driving tractors was called by the Trade Union organisation under the slogan “We have more than enough reasons”. The main reason for the farmers’ action was that they wanted the Minister of Agriculture in particular and society in general to listen to them.
The organisers of the action complained because they saw how, after asking for the tractor drive to take place on time, the circulation of tractors was blocked so that they could reach the meeting point. In the end, the tractors travelled through Madrid to the applause of pedestrians. The tractors will return to Madrid on 26 February and this time will be collected by ASAJA, COAG and UPA. This week there were also rallies in Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Cordoba, Malaga, Murcia, Câceres.
