In Spain on Monday, hundreds of truck drivers marched through the capital Madrid protesting road freight rules and the cost of living.
周一（11月14日）西班牙数百名卡车司机在首都马德里游行，抗议公路货运规则和生活成本上涨。
The strike was organized by the platform for the Defense of the Transport Sector, which is made up of self-employed truck drivers and small freight companies, and doesn't have the support of major hauling businesses or Spain's largest unions.
这次罢工由一家名为“捍卫运输行业平台”的组织发起。该平台由自营卡车司机和小型货运公司组成，没有得到主要运输企业或西班牙最大工会支持。
Hundreds of protesters marched through central Madrid from Atocha train station to Parliament.
数百名抗议者从阿托查火车站穿过马德里市中心游行至议会。
However, the strikes had a negligible effect on the country's logistics hubs.
然而，罢工对该国的物流中心影响很小。
In March and April, Spain's truckers went on strike, which led to factories running out of supplies and food shortages. The trucking sector obtained a 1 billion euro (＄1.03 billion) package that included rebates on the price of diesel fuel and a 1,200 euro cash bonus.
3月和4月，西班牙的卡车司机举行罢工导致工厂供应和食品短缺问题, 卡车运输部门获得了10亿欧元的补贴计划，其中包括柴油价格的补贴和1200欧元的现金奖金。
The truckers on Monday's strike said the rebates have been overtaken by rising fuel prices.
参加周一罢工的卡车司机说，补贴已经无法抵消不断上涨的燃油价格带来的影响。

在抵达巴厘岛参加G20峰会后，他说，“我有信心我们可以把人数降下来，但实话实说，光凭这一个协议并不能一夜之间就奇迹般地解决这个问题”
