Some 8,000 teachers from the province of Girona gathered on May 14 in front of the headquarters of the Generalitat de Catalunya in Girona, on a strike day for the education sector that took place for the third consecutive day. Thursday's protest was territorialized in Girona and central Catalonia.
The mobilization coincided with a new meeting of the sectoral table between the majority unions and the Departament d'Educació at the headquarters of the ministry in Barcelona, but the meeting ended without an agreement. The lack of progress maintained the standoff between the mobilized teaching staff and the administration while the protests continued in the streets.
