The "Maricherman" effect: Spain experienced its first general strike in 14 years due to the housing crisis.
The first general strike in 14 years in Spain began this Wednesday with road closures, blockades at workplaces and demonstrations in various cities against the housing crisis, the increase in rents and the loss of purchasing power. The recruitment has the background of the case of Merrickman Abascal, the 87-year-old woman who died after being evacuated from her home in Madrid.
