The incident occurred on Churruca Street as members of the Maresme Education Workers Assembly (ATEM) attempted to enter the building. Witnesses reported that ARRO riot police units used physical force to remove the protesters, leading to allegations of minor injuries.
“"We denounce that the police are removing us by force. One colleague has been injured."
Several individuals were identified by officers and warned of potential legal action. This confrontation followed a morning of disruption where teachers blocked the C-32 and C-60 highways near Mataró as part of a nationwide strike for better working conditions.
The protest concluded with a march through the city to the Mataró City Council, highlighting the ongoing demands for professional dignity and increased funding for the educational sector in Catalonia.
