The strike has been cancelled for the moment by taxi drivers
- Taxi drivers in Barcelona and Madrid have suspended the strike on Wednesday night after the Spanish government delegated the licensing competence to the communities and municipalities. Taxi drivers in the Southern Basque Country have taken the same position, but have declared it a “truce”.

The strike began in Barcelona last Wednesday to put pressure on the Supreme Court of Catalonia, which had to decide on Thursday whether to suspend the law on the limitation of licenses. The law was suspended, saying that the metropolitan area of Barcelona could not make such a decision, that the Spanish Government was competent to do so. The Government has committed itself to a change of competence.
Upon hearing the verdict, taxi drivers in Barcelona began an indefinite strike. In this way, taxi drivers from other cities of the State were added to pressure the Spanish Ministry of Public Works: Drivers from Madrid, Seville, Bilbao or Malaga, among others.
The most notable action has been the blockade of the main streets of the cities, hindering daily traffic. The attacks on drivers of Uber and Cabify by some taxi drivers have also been highlighted.
