A hundred road and highway blockades due to the strike are collapsing mobility in Catalonia

A general strike in Catalonia has led to significant traffic disruptions, with over a hundred roadblocks affecting mobility, particularly in Barcelona. The strike, organized for housing rights, has resulted in major arteries being blocked, causing severe congestion. Public transport services are operating at minimal capacity, and many schools faced challenges opening due to access issues. Despite the disruptions, officials reported that the strike was proceeding without major incidents. The situation remains critical with numerous roads closed across various regions, including Lleida, Tarragona, and Girona.
