In Spain there was a nationwide strike for the first time in 14 years. The reason is the housing crisis.

In Spain, on November 11, approximately four million people participated in a nationwide strike - the first in the country since 2012. The demonstrators, with the support of the two largest trade unions in Spain, demonstrated against a housing crisis that resulted in an increase in rent and the increasing eviction of insolvent tenants. Many strike participants held keys in their hands as a symbol of protest. The strike took place only three weeks before the parliamentary elections. According to analysts, 750 thousand apartments are missing to normalize the situation in the housing market in Spain; It is expected that by 2028 this figure could exceed one million.
