Initially scheduled for the 12th, the president of the farmers union, Asaja Alicante, José Vicente Andreu, has said that the difficulty in obtaining authorisation, from the Government Subdelegation, now means that the planned protest by farmers intending to blockade the A7 autovia, will take place on February 16.
The objective is to carry out a tractor-trailer obstruction that will run along the road at the height of Vega Baja, a region that carries out a large part of its agricultural operations in this municipality.
Asaja Alicante, is an organisation that, together with La Unió, COAG and UPA, has developed the action plan that will be carried out across the Valencian Community in the coming days. In fact, protests are also planned on February 15 in the port of Castellón, as well as on the 22nd in Valencia.
The tractors and trailers that are being prepared on the A-7 will move slowly along the autovia, with the aim of drawing attention to the critical situation in which, they say, the agricultural sector finds itself.
This protest is part of the demonstrations that are already taking place throughout Spain, demanding issues such as strict compliance with the Food Chain Law, a shock plan to alleviate the escalation of production costs, and the redirection of European policies so that there is mutuality in trade agreements with third countries.
