This Monday marks the second week of the indefinite strike called by teacher and student unions to demand more resources from the Government of the Community of Madrid, presided over by Isabel Díaz Ayuso. In this regard, the day of October 19 began with the blocking of the A3 highway. 

Thus, a hundred people, shortly before 8:30 a.m., a group of strikers blocked traffic on a road in Moratalaz during a protest in defense of public education. The blockade lasted about thirty minutes and ended without incident with the withdrawal of the protesters upon the arrival of the police.

During the mobilization, slogans such as "No, no, we don't want to pay their debt in Health and Education" and "education, public and quality" were heard.

The strike has the support of more than twenty organizations of teachers, families, and students, among other groups. They demand a reduction in the number of students per class and teaching hours for teachers, improved salaries, and increased resources allocated to public education.
