National strike in Spain paralyzes parts of the country

A general strike in Spain, the first in 14 years, addresses the housing crisis and broader social issues. Initiated after the eviction of an elderly woman, it has garnered mixed public support. Key sectors like education and transportation are affected, with many workers participating. Demonstrations are planned in major cities, raising concerns about potential unrest. Political reactions vary, with the socialist party supporting the strike while the conservative party criticizes it as politically motivated.
