A group of protesters has blocked early this Wednesday the main access road to Bilbao in the San Mamés area by means of a sit-in, as part of the general strike called for this day.
The mobilization, organized by the ELA union, began around half past eight in the morning in the vicinity of San Mamés, with a march led by a banner with the slogan "Etxebizitza denontzat. Espekulazioa debakatu" (housing for everyone, ban speculation).
Those attending the protest sat down on the roadway for about fifteen minutes, completely interrupting entry traffic to the Vizcaya capital at this point.
After the sit-in, which took place without incidents, the column of protesters resumed its route and continued moving in the direction of Bilbao’s Gran Vía.
