Gas stations in Madrid and the northeastern Catalonia region in Spain are reportedly running out of fuel as an indefinite strike by truckers begins to bite.
The protest over soaring fuel costs began at midnight on Sunday. The stoppage led to lengthy queues at many gasoline stations across the country as drivers rushed to fill up. Authorities in northern Spain ordered emergency measures with police escorting several tanker trucks taking fuel into Barcelona. Tens of thousands of truckers in Spain, France and Portugal have joined the protests. Representatives of Spain's transport association Fenadismer and development ministry officials met on Monday but failed to reach agreement.
