Unions and the left reject suspending the general strike as requested by Feijóo

Trade unions and left-wing leaders have rejected Alberto Núñez Feijóo's request to suspend the general strike scheduled for November 11, following a tragic train accident. Feijóo argued that continuing the strike would be a grave mistake, but union leaders deemed his comments insulting and lacking substance. They emphasized that the strike addresses critical issues such as housing, wages, and public services. The government defended the right to strike and urged respect for the victims' pain. Various political figures criticized Feijóo for attempting to manipulate the situation and undermine workers' rights, asserting that the strike is essential for social justice and economic reform.
