Spain experienced a nationwide 24-hour general strike on November 11, focusing on housing, wages, and public services. Major unions CCOO and UGT organized the strike, marking the first of its kind in 14 years. Participation estimates varied widely, with unions claiming up to 84% in some sectors, while employers reported much lower figures. The strike disrupted transportation and energy consumption, with significant cancellations in flights and train services. Tensions arose during protests, leading to multiple arrests and incidents of violence. Political reactions were polarized, with some supporting the strike and others criticizing it as politically motivated. The final participation and incident reports will be released later, as further demonstrations are planned for the afternoon.
