Spanish protesters burn shops, paint and smash windows. There have already been clashes with the police in several cities.
The Spanish government has suspended work for today "out of solidarity".
The strike is taking place throughout the country. Many shops are closed, transportation is not working, which is why some cannot get to work, eyewitnesses told RT.
We will remind you that the general strike in Israel began at midnight. People are not happy with the price increase for everything, including housing.
