General strike call amid Spain's housing crisis
Original: huelga general
Spain is seeing renewed talk of a general strike as housing protests escalate and snap general elections were brought forward. The Tenants' Union, at the centre of the housing movement, declared that "this struggle will not wait for any electoral calendar", signalling that protests and strike actions will continue regardless of the election campaign. The housing crisis is now intertwining with national politics.
Why now: A general strike is being discussed amid Spain's housing crisis and the surprise advancing of general elections.
