"I don't want to pay"

In Catalonia, there are 303 km (33%) of free motorway versus 617 km (67%) of tolled motorways.
In Madrid, there are 17 km of tolled motorways (3.4%) versus 483 km (96.6%) free.
Andalusia has 192 km of tolled motorways (12.8%) versus 1308 km (87.2%) free of payment.
Extremadura has no tolled motorways.
The situation in Valencia is worse than Catalonia, as they only have one free motorway connecting Valencia with Madrid.
Loads of Catalan motorists have started the campaign "I don't want to pay". They do not want to pay any longer for the free motorways that have been built in Spain for profit of unproductive areas of Spain, all with money coming from Catalonia.
There will be a coordinate demonstration on May 1st, midday, where several thousands of motorists will not pay at the following tolls:

  • VILASSAR,  C-32 (both senses)
  • MARTORELL, AP-7 (towards Barcelona)
  • MOLLET, C-33 (both senses)
  • MANRESA, C-16 (both senses)
  • GIRONA SUD, AP-7 (junction)
  • FIGUERES SUD, AP-7 (junction)
  • L'HOSPITALET DE L'INFANT, AP-7 (both senses)
  • TÚNELS DEL GARRAF (both senses)
  • ULLDECONA-VINARÒS (junction)
  • REUS (junction)
  • SAGUNT-VALÈNCIA (junction)
  • ALGEMESÍ (junction)
  • AMPOSTA-DELTEBRE (junction)
  • CASTELLÓ (junction)
  • TERRASSA-LES FONTS(both senses)

We wish all the success on this day and to everyone of the motorists who, from a fortnight ago, have not paid abusive prices in tolls that are almost not existent in the rest of Spain, causing severe anxiety at "Abertis", concessionary of the motorway tolls.


Picture taken on April 27th 2012 at 18:15 hours (CET), in Manresa (Catalonia). In view of the huge number of Catalans not willing to pay the toll, the managers and police have decided to raise the barriers.

Visca Catalunya!
