Greve geral em Espanha junta milhares nas ruas e termina em confrontos e violência policial

On Wednesday, thousands of Spaniards participated in a general strike against the housing crisis, facing rain and police violence. This strike, the first in 14 years, was organized by major unions UGT, CCOO, CNT, and CGT. In Barcelona, masked groups clashed with police, setting fires and vandalizing stores, leading to over 50 arrests. In Madrid, police used foam bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds, resulting in more than 1500 incidents nationwide and over 100 arrests. The strike occurred just 18 days before general elections, highlighting issues of housing and low wages.
