Tensions rise in Catalonia as teachers take to the streets of Barcelona, coinciding with a high-profile visit from Pope Francis. The rally is part of a broader labor dispute, with unions calling for a new strike amidst long-standing demands for better pay, working conditions, and education reforms. The strike comes at a sensitive time, with the Pope's visit expected to draw international attention to the region. As the teachers protest, they are also drawing attention to the contentious issues plaguing the education sector in Catalonia, and the ongoing struggle for workers' rights in the region.
