# Catalan farmers march on Barcelona in protest

14 October 2026 at 11:12

> Tractor columns from across Catalonia converge on Barcelona today to demand fair prices and water priority amid EU agricultural debates.

Tractors from across **Catalonia** began a march toward **Barcelona** on Wednesday, 14 October 2026. Starting from eight points including Alt Empordà and Segrià, the columns aim to reach the Government Delegation and the **Palau de la Generalitat** by midday today.

Organised by **Unió de Pagesos** with support from Asaja and FCAC, the protest follows similar action in Lleida last week. Farmers are demanding fair prices, direct aid, and water priority during droughts to combat rising costs, climate change, and competition.

The demonstration coincides with EU debates on the 2028–2034 **Common Agricultural Policy**. Protesters seek market disturbance measures for rice and protection against macro-projects, echoing large-scale actions that previously collapsed Barcelona's road network.
