Truckers in Spain Protest High Fuel Costs
Tens of thousands of truckers in Spain are on strike over soaring fuel costs, parking their big rigs and snarling traffic around Madrid and Barcelona.
The Spanish protest is one of a number across Europe, and comes as a Spanish fishermen’s protest against high fuel prices enters a second week, with smaller boats now joining the boycott, according to news reports.
Truckers warn their strike could bring the country to a standstill, if the government does not step in to help compensate them for high fuel costs.
