The Minister of Agriculture, Òscar Ordeig, will meet with farmers from Tarragona this Friday to discuss the primary sector mobilizations that led to the blockade of the Port access via the A-27 highway.

This meeting takes place after the first day of protests called by Revolta Pagesa in Catalunya, where farmers and ranchers blocked key infrastructure. The main objective of the mobilizations is the outright rejection of the trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur.
In the Tarragona region, the actions focused on blocking the A-27 highway, preventing access to the Port of Tarragona, a crucial logistics point. This action highlights the seriousness of the situation facing the Catalan agricultural sector.
The meeting is part of the ongoing contacts the Government maintains with the sector to try to ease tensions and open negotiation channels. Nevertheless, the exact time and location of Friday's meeting have not yet been specified.
