Around a hundred farmers from Revolta Pagesa, who have maintained the blockade at the Port of Tarragona for two nights, will hold a tractor march through the city center on Sunday.

The demonstrators, protesting against the EU-Mercosur agreement, will head to Imperial Tàrraco around noon and travel along the Rambla Nova. After the mobilization, a manifesto will be read to formalize their rejection of the trade pact.
This action follows the second consecutive night that about a hundred farmers have spent on the road, maintaining the blockage of the main access to the port infrastructure.

"In upcoming assemblies, new actions will be debated for next week across the country, although in Tarragona they plan to maintain the blockade of the port infrastructure until Monday."
