Protest on April 17 Albergues

[NerdGjerd]

Hello,
I just heard back from an albergue that they will be closed April 17th to protest these new regulations. They thought most albergues and other accommodations may be closed this day. I'll be somewhere between Uterga and Estella that night, wondering if I will find a place to sleep! It was unclear if this protest is for all of Spain. Anyway, not sure what I'm going to do that night, and had not seen these future protests discussed on the forum yet.

An interesting approach if true.
Who do they think they will 'hurt' as a result?

Maybe some of our albergue contacts will respond. This is before Easter, so many may not be open yet anyway. @wisepilgrim have you heard anything?

Interesting timing, in Semana Santa. As @Robo says, who do they think will be impacted? Not those responsible for the new rules. I wonder how widespread this will really be, if it happens?

I find after experience that "strikes" are often associated with holidays on europe.
