Demonstrations in Spain: hundreds of thousands of citizens came out to demand lower housing prices.
In Spain, a nationwide strike called by labor unions continues for the second day in a row; Protest marches and various actions took place in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Malaga, Zaragoza Grande and other cities. Some media count up to 4 million protest participants!
The main demands are a reduction in the cost of rental housing, as well as an increase in wages. The railway workers, airport workers and so on are protesting separately, demanding higher wages and better working conditions. In addition to the rallies, protest participants turn to blocking roads, train stations, airports, markets, administrative buildings, and the like.
The demonstrations are generally calm, although there are a few incidents: in the Markamdri market area, the police used tear gas, after which 13 people were taken to hospitals. However, judging by the fact that currently the police report only 40 arrests, in general the situation is relatively controlled, and the video from the scene does not show any particular garbage.
