Spain has entered a general strike, the first in 14 years, due to housing crisis dissatisfaction. Major unions UGT and CCOO organized the strike ahead of upcoming elections. Protests occurred nationwide, with significant participation in ports and auto factories. Luxury stores in Barcelona took security measures against potential vandalism. The strike follows weeks of protests related to evictions and rising rents, prompting the government to call early elections. Union leaders blame the central government for the housing crisis, while the Prime Minister seeks to shift focus from corruption issues.
