Barcelona Lifeguards Protest After 22-Day Strike - Spain

Barcelona lifeguards during a demonstration on August 22, 2025, in Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). The lifeguards collective began an indefinite strike on August 1 to denounce the "absolute precariousness" affecting lifeguards, health technicians, nurses, crew members and boat skippers and to demand solutions to the Barcelona City Council. Today, 22 days later, they take to the streets again, called by CGT in the face of the inaction of Collboni's government to continue fighting for a "dignified, safe and quality" public lifeguard service.
