La educación pública madrileña y la urgencia de negociar
An El País opinion column by Aida San Millán urges negotiation to end Madrid public school teachers' indefinite strike, begun 14 October 2026, charging that Education Counselor Mercedes Zarzalejo refuses to meet the strike committee despite a legal obligation. She says the 2025 sectoral agreement goes unmet, Madrid invests least per student among Spain's regions, and Zarzalejo and Isabel Díaz Ayuso should reflect on their commitment to public services.
