⚫ Tallada l'AP-7 a Sant Gregori per manifestacióℹ En sentit sud, desviaments per la sortida 6. On Monday, hundreds of separatists shut down the busy motorway between France and Spain at the border in protest over the sentencing last month of nine of their leaders to lengthy jail terms. The demonstrators parked their cars on the highway and stood beside them, causing lengthy tailbacks. Hundreds of chanting Catalan separatists also blocked key streets in Barcelona, the Catalan capital, such as the Gran Via. The protests closures come after a general election in Spain on Sunday in which the far-right Vox party made gains on the strength of its hardline stance against Catalan separatism.
