Thousands of transport workers have gathered near the Spanish transport ministry in Madrid to protest rising fuel prices.
Thousands of transporters demonstrate in yellow vests in Madrid as the truckers’ strike against rising fuel prices which has lasted for 12 days in Spain is causing shortages in supermarkets and disrupting supplies to many sectors of activity.
The government reached an agreement overnight with a single employers’ organization in the sector by releasing a billion euros to try to end the strike, but the agreement was rejected by the strikers who are mainly self-employed and SME.
