Tractors gather in Madrid as farmers prepare to protest rising production costs in Spain

On October 28, 2026, in Madrid, Spain, @JavierSativo shared a video showing tractors gathered ahead of a planned agricultural demonstration. In the footage, several large tractors decorated with flags are lined up in an open area as participants prepare for the protest. According to reports, agricultural organizations ASAJA, COAG, and Unión de Uniones called on thousands of farmers and ranchers to participate in the demonstration, with hundreds of tractors arriving in Madrid from different parts of Spain. The protest aimed to highlight rising production costs, declining farm profitability, and concerns about the future of the agricultural sector. However, following the fatal collision between a Renfe train and an Iryo train near Urda, Toledo, organizers postponed the march. Instead, participants gathered and observed five minutes of silence to honor the victims.
