La policía carga contra un grupo de profesores de Madrid que bloqueaba la entrada a un acto de Ayuso

Around 500 teachers involved in a Madrid education strike marched on Monday afternoon, around 2 pm, to protest against an event held at the Santoña Palace in central Madrid, where the president of the Community Isabel Díaz Ayuso was present. The demonstrators had gathered in front of the Education Ministry building on Alcalá Street 42, where they surrounded the entrance as a dozen police officers protected the access.

They shouted "Ayuso da la cara" ("Ayuso gives the face") and "Zarzalejo, vaya tela, tus mentiras ya no cuelan" ("Zarzalejo, what a mess, your lies no longer penetrate"), referring to the president and her Education Minister, Mercedes Zarzalejo. To clear the exit of the building, several dozen riot police arrived and, upon the demonstrators' refusal to leave, began charging to push them several meters away, forcing them to concentrate at the junction with Príncipe Street.

"Huelga, huelga, huelga indefinida!" ("Strike, strike, indefinite strike!") and "Ayuso, escucha, la pública está en lucha" ("Ayuso, listen, the public is fighting") were their cries. At 2:13 pm, Ayuso managed to exit the building from the other end of the street, where no demonstrators were left, and drove away in her official car.
