The Government and its partners link the strike on November 11 with social progress, and the right attacks the unions
The general strike on November 11 has polarized political parties in Spain, with the coalition government supporting it as a means to advance social policies. The opposition, including PP, Vox, and Junts, criticizes the unions, accusing them of serving the government and labeling the strike as politically motivated. Alberto Núñez Feijóo of PP presented an electoral program without addressing the strike's implications, while Vox's Santiago Abascal questioned the legality of the strike. The government, led by PSOE and Sumar, defends the strike as a legitimate right and emphasizes its connection to social reforms. Union leaders are portrayed as integral to the fight for workers' rights, despite opposition claims of their inactivity. The strike is seen as a pivotal moment for labor rights and social justice in Spain.
