Catalan farmers and ranchers have taken to the roads again for the second day in a row to protest. Since Thursday, nearly a hundred tractors belonging to farmers from the Girona region have been indefinitely blocking the AP-7 motorway and the N-II highway near Pontós, in the Alt Empordà. They are protesting European agricultural policy, especially regarding [unclear - possibly "the European agricultural policy"]. the agreement with MercosurThe protest, which allows trade with Latin America, is also focused on the planned cuts to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The protest was organized by Revolta Pagesa, and members of the larger farmers' union, Unió de Pagesos, are participating individually. The primary sector association will meet this afternoon in Tarragona with the Minister of Livestock and Agriculture, Òscar Ordeig, to try to resolve the situation. The tractors entered the Girona highway around 3:00 AM on Thursday and have blocked traffic ever since, forcing the closure of the road in both directions. Since yesterday, there have also been other protests at the entrance to the port of Tarragona and on the A-2 highway in Lleida, which remain blocked more than 24 hours later. At the port of Tarragona, the blockade has resulted in a 69% reduction in truck traffic. On Thursday, there were also demonstrations on the C-16 highway in Central Catalonia and at the Ares pass, in this case with the help of farmers from Northern Catalonia, which have since been called off. The protesters plan to remain indefinitely, at least at the blockade in Alt Empordà, until they prevent the ratification of the Spanish government's agreement with Mercosur.
