Xàbia teachers protest over public education during president's port visit

The regional leader visited Xàbia port to oversee the renewal works being carried out on this infrastructure, as La Marina Times already reported when the renovation project was presented.

Taking advantage of his presence, a group of teachers from different schools in the municipality gathered in the area to voice their complaints about the situation of primary and secondary schools and to call for improvements to public education in the Valencian Community.

The protest took form through whistles, placards and chants that accompanied the president's tour of the port facilities. Many of those attending wore green t-shirts that have already become a symbol of previous mobilisations in defence of public schools.

Despite the campaigning tone, the event passed without incident, which allowed the teachers to get their demands across in a peaceful atmosphere.
