[Spain] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Spanish farmers in Catalonia's La Selva region staged a peaceful motorcade protest on April 17, 2025, organized by the Agrarian Union to denounce the regional government's failure to fulfill February agreements, particularly regarding subsidy calendar changes that create sector uncertainty.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar farmer grievances spread to other Spanish agricultural regions or affect planting/harvesting schedules.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of farmer protests to other Catalonian regions or major Spanish agricultural provinces
• Track any disruptions to regional transportation networks if protests intensify or involve roadblocks
