Truckers in Spain march to protest rising cost of living, increased regulations
Truck drivers, who brought Spain to a halt earlier this year, began a new strike on Monday, as hundreds marched through the capital Madrid demanding changes to road freight rules and protesting at the cost of living.
The protest by the unofficial Platform for the Defense of Transport came a day after a large rally against the Madrid region's public health policy and 11 days after Spain's main unions held a general demonstration against rising living costs.
Hundreds of protesters in high-visibility vests marched through central Madrid from Atocha train station to parliament, waving posters with slogans such as: "We don't want subsidies, we want solutions."
The month-long strike by truckers in March and April brought Spanish supply chains to a halt, caused food shortages and a bout of inflation, and hit quarterly economic growth.
