The Government supports today a general strike that outright rejects the opposition

A general strike in Spain today has received support from the government, which is unusual so close to elections. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez encouraged participation, while opposition parties like PP and Vox criticized the strike, labeling it illegal and a product of union opportunism. The strike was initiated by the Tenants' Union, addressing housing insecurity, particularly affecting young people. The government anticipates modest participation but expects large demonstrations later in the day, amidst concerns about potential violence.
