The Tenants' Union has been flirting for days with the idea of a general strike in the face of the housing emergency. In fact, after the two decrees of the Spanish government fell this Friday, this has been the first proclamation: "Towards the general strike!" It is also the slogan under which they have called for demonstrations across the State for this weekend. But they are not the only ones. The proposal is also on the table of CCOO and the UGT, which are holding talks with the movement for the right to housing to assess the option of a stoppage, as confirmed by different union sources consulted by ARA. "It has not been said no to the scenario of a general strike. It is open," the same sources indicate.

Road closures, pickets at universities, and disruptions to commuter trains. The general strike called this Wednesday in support of the Palestinian people and against the genocide in Gaza has already had several effects early this morning. More than 100 people blocked access to the Zona Franca and Mercabarna in Barcelona on Wednesday morning as part of the solidarity strike for Palestine and headed toward the port. The protesters, carrying a banner reading "We stop the genocide" and shouting "general strike," also blocked the Ronda Litoral at Montjuïc in both directions.
