Spain was caught in mass protests - people are not happy with the wild increase in housing prices.
The average rental price in Spain is 1,176 euros per month. This is 98.7% of the average monthly salary of young Spaniards, according to the country's youth council.
The organizers of the action were the largest Spanish trade unions. The protests affected car factories, ports, public transportation and other industries.
There were clashes with the police in several cities.
This is the first general strike in 14 years.
