The visit of the Spanish People's Party leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to Sueca today was marked by a protest from Valencian public education teachers.

The gathering took place around the venue where the popular leader met with the party's leadership in the Valencian Community. The mobilization coincided with the political event organized by the Valencian PP, which brought together leaders, institutional officials, and militants for a meeting aimed at strengthening the party's strategy in the Valencian Community. Outside, dozens of teachers took advantage of Feijóo's presence to make their demands for public education visible.
The protesters denounced the situation facing the educational sector and called for more resources, labor improvements, and a firm commitment to public education. With banners, protest t-shirts, and whistles, those gathered aimed to convey their discontent to the popular representatives meeting inside the venue.
The protest follows weeks of teacher collective mobilizations and occurs in a context of tension between educational unions and the Generalitat Valenciana. Teacher representatives have warned that they will continue protest actions until progress is made in negotiations with the government.
According to Valencian media reports, relatives of victims of the 'gota fría' (cold drop) weather phenomenon also joined the protest. They took advantage of the popular leaders' presence to express their demands and seek explanations regarding the catastrophe's management. The convergence of these two mobilizations necessitated reinforcing the security detail around the event, which proceeded without significant incidents.
