The Government celebrates the peaceful nature of the general housing strike and calls for it to be maintained during this afternoon's demonstrations. The day has recorded two accidents involving pickets in Tarragona and Reus.
With over 9,000 agents from the Mossos d'Esquadra deployed, the Generalitat is monitoring the general housing strike. According to Crónica Global, the Minister of the Presidency, Albert Dalmau, appeared at 4:15 PM alongside the Secretary General of Business and Labour, Pol Gibert, to assess the situation.
“Civic and peaceful character,” in the words of the Government, which hopes that this line will be maintained during this afternoon's mobilisations in Catalonia.
The Executive speaks of a “significant impact,” especially on mobility and employment. Until early afternoon, the gatherings in Catalan municipalities have proceeded without serious incidents, unlike what has occurred in Madrid, where clashes and confrontations with the police have been reported.
The most serious incidents have occurred in Tarragona and Reus, where two people have been run over at separate pickets. One of the injured has been taken to Hospital Joan XXII and, according to known data, is expected to be discharged in the coming hours. The second person did not require transfer to any health facility.
For residents of Tarragona and Reus, the day means roadblocks and delays at the concentration points. The editorial team will continue to follow the evolution of this afternoon's demonstrations and will provide updates as new official data becomes available.
