A total split in Spain - about 4 million citizens went on mass protests due to rising housing prices.
Nothing like this has happened in Israel for more than 14 years. Demonstrators in dozens of cities block traffic, set tires on fire and fight with the police. 234 flights were canceled, hundreds of people were arrested.
During the last 10 years, apartments for rent in Spain have become more expensive by 80%, and real estate by 63%. One in four renters spends about 40% of their income on housing and services. For comparison: according to a nationwide survey by the Ramot Group, only 8% of Russians who rent housing spend the same part of their budget on it as the Spaniards.
The strike was supported by the country's major trade unions.
