Hundreds of teachers blocked the AP-2 and N-240 highway accesses in Montblanc this Tuesday, as well as the entrance to the Port of Tarragona, during the second day of education strikes.

In Montblanc, protesters blocked the main roundabout leading to the AP-2 highway using tires early in the morning. Supported by four tractors from the Revolta Pagesa movement, the demonstration later moved to block the N-240 road.
Simultaneously, around 200 educators blocked the A-27, preventing trucks from entering the Port of Tarragona. Traffic was diverted through the Serrallo neighborhood, causing significant congestion near Plaça Imperial Tarraco.

"Education is the future, and without good education, we have no good future. We are claiming the prestige of our profession against the system's decline."
