Overview
- In Ourense on Saturday, more than 80 tractors and roughly 200 people blocked the N-120 in an urban stretch from early morning, extending the mobilization that began in late December.
- Friday’s coordinated tractoradas disrupted roads across multiple regions, with organizers claiming about 2,500 tractors in Extremadura and around 200 machines halting traffic in central Oviedo.
- Authorities issued traffic warnings and listed closures, including in Burgos, while organizers said they would allow passage for emergency and other essential services.
- Protesters argue the EU–Mercosur agreement would permit imports produced under looser sanitary and environmental rules and demand reciprocity, traceability, stronger border controls and safeguards against price drops.
- Unions also reject a proposed 23% cut to the next PAC budget and have scheduled more actions for January 23 and a wider coordinated day on January 29, alongside regional calendars for the week of January 26–30.
