User platforms, unions, and organizations began a march at Barcelona's Estació de França on Saturday, February 7, to protest the ongoing Rodalies rail crisis.

The mobilization, called by about twenty entities, started at five in the afternoon at Estació de França in Barcelona and proceeded through the city center to Plaça Sant Jaume.

No future without trains

The organizers collectively denounce constant delays, lack of safety, and "systematic underinvestment" in railway infrastructure. According to their manifesto, this situation stems from poor management by Adif, Renfe, and the governments of Spain and Catalonia.
The manifesto drafted by the entities has received support from over a hundred endorsements. This march took place just hours after the ANC and the Consell de la República also demonstrated earlier in Barcelona under the slogan "Enough! The only way, independence."
