The strike had a limited impact in workplaces and a large mobilization on the street

The general strike on November 11 had limited impact in workplaces but saw significant street mobilization, particularly in Barcelona and Madrid. Unions viewed the turnout as exceeding expectations, while the CEOE labeled it a failure. Participation varied by region, with higher rates in Catalunya and Madrid, and lower in Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha. The strike's focus on housing was seen as abstract, leading to less engagement from workers. Despite the limited workplace participation, thousands marched in cities, with 55,000 in Barcelona and 120,000 in Madrid, highlighting concerns over housing affordability. The CEOE criticized the government for encouraging the strike, calling it a preventive measure. The day also saw protests against police actions during the strike.
