In the early morning, around 200 education professionals gathered in front of TV3 studios before heading to the B-23. They cut off traffic in both directions, causing delays that lasted for over an hour. This action is part of a territorial strike affecting Baix Llobregat and Penedès.
The road closures have generated significant traffic jams on several roads, including the B-23 between Papiol and Sant Feliu de Llobregat, and from Molins de Rei to Papiol. Delays have also been reported on the A-2, from Pallejà to Cornellà in the direction of Barcelona. The demonstration is expected to continue to the delegation of the Territorial Education Services in Baix Llobregat, where a new concentration is planned for midday.
From California, where he is on an official trip, the President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, has expressed his hope that the Department of Education can reach an agreement with the striking unions during Thursday's sectoral meeting. He has shown confidence in the department to unblock the situation, although he has asked "not to anticipate events".
“"We are willing to discuss how we implement this agreement and at what pace."
The president has defended the agreement that the Government signed weeks ago with CCOO and UGT, emphasizing that its implementation should be negotiated, but not changed. He has assured that the Government has an "extended hand" and has highlighted that "never before had so much been invested in education" as with this pact, which will mobilize "more than 2,000 million euros in two years". He also stressed the importance of respecting both the teachers' right to strike and the children's right to be educated.
