Barcelona: Élite Taxi calls six-hour regional taxi strike and mass protest on 9 December
Taxi union Élite Taxi will halt service across Catalonia from 10:00–16:00 on 2025-12-09, attending only medical emergencies for free. A large protest is planned in Barcelona (Gran Via and Passeig de Gràcia), with informational pickets at airports and major train/bus stations.
The group said the protest is intended to defend the sector's future and "denounce Uber's plundering."
The union stressed that the strike is "irreversible" and will not be cancelled "under any circumstances or pressure."
