There is a general strike in Spain.
Millions of workers and activists protested against expensive rental housing. The action was the first in 14 years that was supported by the largest trade unions in the country, and took place on the eve of the election. The government blames the opposition.
According to the Bank of Spain, the country lacks about 750 thousand houses. By 2028, the deficit could exceed one million. Buying a home is out of reach for a growing number of residents, and rental demand and prices are rising.
