Workers gather outside Le Porc Gourmet during nationwide meat industry strike in Osona, Spain

On November 9, 2026, in Santa Eugènia de Berga, Osona, Spain, @miquel_giol shared a video showing a large demonstration outside the Le Porc Gourmet slaughterhouse on the first day of a nationwide strike in Spain's meat industry. In the video, a dense crowd of demonstrators gathers along the street outside the slaughterhouse as a red smoke flare burns near a pedestrian crossing, sending a thick plume of smoke into the evening sky. Several protesters hold flags and banners, while others record the demonstration on their smartphones. According to reports, around 500 workers and union representatives from CCOO and UGT gathered outside the facility to demand better wages and working hours, while attempting to block livestock trucks from entering and bring production to a halt. Similar demonstrations were also reported at other major meat industry facilities in the region, including the Vic meat processing hub and the Friselva facility in Riudellots de la Selva.
