Protest by teachers in Barcelona with the Venetian Towers in the background.

Hundreds of teachers have taken to the streets in protest on Tuesday in Barcelona, called by the sector's main unions, to demand improvements and raise awareness of their demands.

The mobilization began shortly after eleven in the morning at Plaça Espanya, with a meeting point at the Torres Venecianes. The march, which is scheduled to pass through Gran Via, Plaça Tetuan, and Passeig de Sant Joan, will culminate in front of the Parliament.
The call, promoted by unions such as USTEC, CGT, Intersindical, CNT, and COS, comes on a day marked by the arrival of Pope Leo XIV in the city, scheduled for 12:25 PM, coming from Madrid.

"We ask for facts, not miracles"

A spokesperson for the organizing unions
The unions have called on citizens and teachers to "collapse" the city to make their demands heard, under the slogan chosen for the day of protest.
