Traffic has been restored on the A-6, towards the entrance to Madrid, after the blockage of the highway caused by hundreds of protesters against the amnesty who have tried without success to reach the Moncloa Palace.
The traffic cut on this road lasted about two hours, the time that the protesters have been occupying the road carrying Spanish flags and chanting against the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. The protest has caused delays at kilometer 6,500 of up to three kilometers.
The protesters, many of whom carried Spanish flags, walked between the cars until they ran into a police barrier that prevented them from continuing on their way. They have managed to pass the Victory Arch from Princesa Street, but the agents have blocked their way before Seneca Avenue and the riot police have forced them to stop before reaching Moncloa. The header has been concentrated on the highway at the height of one of the entrances to the government buildings, which are accessed by a branch. Some protesters have sat in the vicinity of La Moncloa due to the impossibility of continuing to advance.
According to EFE, shortly before four-thirty the hundreds of protesters who had arrived in that area, around 400 according to sources from the Government Delegation, began to leave after speaking with the Police, who were monitoring them and who accompanied on his march. The police have kept the congregants “bagged” or under surveillance until they have agreed to leave, walking along the sidewalk, although they continued shouting “I am Spanish.”
Among the shouts uttered by the protesters, in addition to insults to the President of the Government, they have dedicated chants such as ‘Sánchez, you bastard, look out on the balcony’.
Vox MEP Hermann Tertsch has been one of the participants in the demonstration against the amnesty and against the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, who has tried to reach the Moncloa Palace, headquarters of the Presidency of the Government. Tertsch has been reporting on the route of the march on his ‘X’ account, where he has defended the opportunity of the protest.
“We are going to the lair of the scoundrel, to the lair of the coup plotter,” Tertsch has proclaimed in several of the videos he has posted. In his messages, collected by Europa Press, the MEP warned Sánchez that “he will not be able to hide anywhere.” “We are going to be on top of him and the criminal gang that has taken power will never intimidate us,” he added.
In addition, some 3,000 people, according to the number of the Government Delegation, will gather this Saturday in front of the national headquarters of the PSOE on Ferraz Street in Madrid on the sixteenth consecutive day of protests against the PSOE pacts and the amnesty law.
This demonstration, in which you can see Spanish flags and shouts of “long live Spain” or against the President of the Government and leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, began after the end of the protest called in Cibeles. At the moment, in the protest that continues in Ferraz, attacks by some protesters on the press present at the site have been seen.
