Spain’s two largest trade unions, the Workers’ Commissions (CCOO) and the General Union of Workers (UGT), have announced a general strike in response to the country’s ongoing housing crisis. The decision comes as concerns mount over rising rental costs and a lack of affordable housing options across Spain. The unions are demanding government intervention to address the issue, including measures to regulate rental prices and increase the supply of social housing. The strike aims to pressure the Spanish government to take urgent action to alleviate the difficulties faced by citizens struggling to find suitable accommodation. Further details regarding the timing and scope of the strike are expected to be released soon by CCOO and UGT officials. This action signals a significant escalation in the response to the housing crisis in Spain and its potential impact on the nation’s economy.
