Strike day in the educational sector of the Community of Madrid with tensions between the regional Executive and the organizers.
The Community of Madrid estimates that the monitoring of the first day of the educational strike in the region is 44.6%. A mobilization that the regional Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso defines as "the first political strike of the hot autumn", and that has so far resulted in five detainees and two police officers injured in the attacks carried out at the Complutense University.
Furthermore, the Community of Madrid denounces "threats" from groups and protesters. Specifically, the vote carried out in a school in Villarejo de Salvanés is noted, in which 3rd and 4th ESO students have been called to take a position on "completely stopping the educational system and turning the streets into a nightmare for the fascists and classists of the PP and Ayuso."
The regional Executive also points to a message on social networks from the Student Union in which it calls for mobilization "to defeat Ayuso."
