Police reopened the V-21 at about 7.40am on Wednesday 11 November, around 25 minutes after a picket blocked the road at the viewing-point roundabout near Alboraia. The Centro de Gestión de Tráfico reported the disruption. The first blockages began at approximately 7.30am. Pickets also stopped traffic on the Ronda Nord in both directions; police later restored circulation on the affected roads.
Other blockages affected the Ronda Nord in both directions near Avenida del Levante UD, and the Avenida del Cid near Mislata. The latter closure was reported as ongoing, extending disruption across the city’s approaches. Further disruption was reported around the V-30 and Hermanos Machado during the morning commute.
Away from the blockages, traffic was moving slowly for two kilometres on the V-30 towards the A-7, between València and Mislata. The CV-36 also had two kilometres of queues between Picanya and València. On the A-3, a two-kilometre tailback ran between Quart de Poblet and Mislata, affecting traffic entering the city via Avenida del Cid.
The stoppage is backed by CCOO-PV and UGT-PV. Intersindical Valenciana and CGT also support the call, as do CNT and COS, which have backing from social platforms. The 24-hour general strike ran across the Comunitat Valenciana from midnight on 11 November through midnight, covering public- and private-sector workers. RUSSPAIN.COM has also covered preparations for the strike in an earlier strike report.
The organisations cite difficulties accessing housing and falling purchasing power as prices rise. They also criticise the blockage of collective bargaining and call for higher wages and improved working conditions. Quality public services are another demand. Their demands also include measures to ensure access to decent and adequate housing and a new wage framework to address the rising cost of living.
Pickets and other actions began in the early hours, including at Mercavalència from 2am and EMT depots from 5am. The Generalitat Valenciana set minimum-service requirements for transport and healthcare, as well as education, during the stoppage. Demonstrations were scheduled for the afternoon in municipalities across the Comunitat Valenciana.
The Confederación Empresarial de la Comunitat Valenciana reported initial participation of 2.57%, describing the strike’s opening as incident-free. Afternoon marches and pickets formed part of the broader regional mobilisation, alongside actions at transport and distribution infrastructure.
