⚡️🇪🇸🚨 In Spain is underway the first general strike in the last 14 years, called by the main trade unions, including CCOO and UGT, together with tenant organizations, against high rents, the housing crisis and the loss of purchasing power of wages.

🔻According to the unions, participation would have reached 90% in ports and the automotive industry, with Volkswagen and SEAT plants shut down. The strike has also caused train cancellations, public transport disruptions and road blockages in several cities.
