◻ ◻ ◻ Spain's first general strike in 14 years resulted in clashes with police and road closures, RTVE reported.
Neither the authorities nor the organizers published the number of participants nationwide. However, in Madrid, according to the chairman of the regional government, Miguel Angel Garcia, about 9.57% of state employees and up to 30% of school employees participated in the strike.
The strike was organized by the Tenants' Union, and later the action was supported by the largest trade unions in Spain - the General Workers' Union (UGT) and the Workers' Committees (CC. OO, Workers' Committees), which called on citizens to stop working under the slogan "Salary, housing, prices" due to the decrease in purchasing power and the acute housing crisis.
