The day Doña Manolita ran out of queue: "There are hardly any people in line due to the strike and the rain"

The general strike in Madrid on November 11 saw varied participation across neighborhoods, with some businesses closing while others remained open. Sales in supermarkets dropped by 30% during the strike, and the traditional lottery queue was notably shorter. Many shop owners expressed frustration over the timing of the strike, arguing that it negatively impacted their businesses. While some supported the strike's cause for housing rights, they questioned why it wasn't organized sooner. The atmosphere was tense, with police presence and protests advocating for affordable housing. Critics voiced concerns about the effectiveness of such strikes and the future for young people in Spain.
