The Government multiplies social measures before the elections and supports the general strike

The Spanish government is intensifying social policies ahead of elections, announcing significant financial measures and supporting a general strike. Two extraordinary cabinet meetings will be held to approve various social initiatives totaling €1.8 billion, aimed at families and dependency support. Minister Pablo Bustinduy emphasized the importance of these measures, which have faced opposition in the past, as a clear message to progressive voters. The government also expressed support for the general strike, with Bustinduy encouraging participation while ministers will refrain from public agendas to respect the strike. The government's stance reflects a progressive shift, aiming to address housing issues and worker rights.
