Hundreds of Spanish truck drivers began a new strike, demanding changes to road freight rules and protesting over the cost of living. They marched through Madrid, waving posters with slogans like ‘we don’t want subsidies, we want solutions’
The protest by the unofficial Platform for the Defence of Transport comes a day after a large rally against the Madrid region's public health policy and 11 days after Spain's main unions held a general demonstration against rising living costs.
The month-long strike by truckers in March and April brought Spanish supply chains to a halt, caused food shortages, triggered a bout of inflation and hit quarterly economic growth.
