The anger of the French countryside has managed to make its way to Spain. The main groups in the Spanish agricultural sector have announced that they will join the massive protests.

According to them, just as their European counterparts have already done, what they call “European bureaucracy” is a headache for them. The Spanish Executive tried to get ahead and agreed to meet with the agricultural organizations to hear their claims. Although the Minister of Agriculture, Luis Planas, described the meeting as “positive”, an agreement was not reached and the unions decided to maintain their protest calendar.
