Farmer protests continued to dominate media coverage this week and are expected to persist through the weekend. The 6-F platform, which emerged from social networks, warned that transportation routes to the capital could face disruptions early Friday. A key flashpoint identified by organizers is a Goya premiere planned for Valladolid on Saturday. Agricultural workers launched tractor rallies on Tuesday to highlight the challenges facing the primary sector amid ongoing mobilizations in France. The initial two days of gatherings formed spontaneously through WhatsApp and Telegram, building on an official calendar proposed by major agricultural associations ASIJA, COAG and UPA, with demonstrations anticipated in Ávila, Salamanca, Zamora, Ciudad Real and Huesca. The movement carried into Friday with actions in Bilbao, Zamora and Extremadura. Tensions with security forces rose throughout the week, marking a fourth day of protests that led to around 20 detentions, 7,925 identified individuals for possible sanctions, and 3,035 administrative complaints related to road closures, according to sources.
