Catalonia, Galicia, Aragon and Asturias lead the monitoring of an unequal day of protest

The general strike on November 11 has seen varied participation across Spain, with significant mobilization in regions like Catalonia, Galicia, Asturias, and Aragón. The strike, the first since 2012, has been particularly impactful in industrial areas, while regions such as Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura reported lower participation. In Catalonia, public transport was heavily disrupted, and many roads were blocked. Asturias reported a 75% participation rate, especially in major companies. In contrast, Madrid experienced a mixed response, with the metro operating at 93% capacity but a significant drop in passenger numbers. The strike's impact was minimal in Andalucía, where the business community disputed the unions' claims of high participation. Overall, the strike highlighted regional disparities in labor mobilization across Spain.
