The Government cancels its agenda "out of respect" for a strike whose social demands it shares

The Spanish government has canceled its public agenda in solidarity with a general strike organized by UGT and CC.OO. to advocate for housing and wage rights. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and most ministers will not participate in public events, although they support the strike's objectives. Only two ministers are abroad on official duties. Sánchez emphasized the importance of respecting the constitutional right to strike and acknowledged the broader social issues at stake. The government spokesperson reiterated the strike's positive nature and condemned insults directed at unions by opposition leaders, calling for respect for workers' rights.
