  "account": "Classes commence in Catalonia today, just as they concluded last term: with protests and teacher strikes. The modus operandi of these strikes mirrors those that marked the end of the previous term, and the day has already begun with several road and rail disruptions. Around 7 in the morning, a hundred educators blocked the Litoral and Dalt rounds both ways, as well as the Gran Via de Barcelona at Can Batlló and the C-58 in Sant Quirze del Vallès. The convoking unions -Ustec, CGT, and the Intersindical- along with the Catalan Education Assembly have scheduled several protest actions throughout the morning at a dozen locations across the region. Primarily, a track closure at 7 am, a demonstration, and a teachers' assembly. In Lleida, teachers protested at the Lleida-Pirineus railway station, blocking the circulation of trains, including high-speed services on the Barcelona-Madrid line. In Tarragona, they attempted to cut off access to the port but were thwarted by the Mossos.",
