Five columns of tractors will cause traffic chaos in Madrid on Wednesday
Published
Madrid expects the arrival of some 500 tractors on Wednesday, October 28. Several farming organisations have called a march through the city, and the columns will gather at Plaza de Colón at 11 in the morning.
The protest means there will be road closures and traffic jams on several routes in the capital during the morning. Drivers who need to travel through the city centre should plan their route in advance and take possible diversions into account. In addition, the presence of so much farm machinery on main streets may cause more traffic jams than usual during the hours of the protest.
Agricultural organisations use this type of mobilisation to express their discontent and call for changes in the conditions of their sector. Farmers and livestock breeders take part in the march to make their situation visible to the authorities.
If you want to avoid problems, check the official traffic information before leaving home. On Wednesday, the best option for getting around Madrid may be public transport, since the metro and buses will continue to run normally.
