Four million people take part in a general strike in Spain, according to unions
Unions say four million workers took part in a strike on Wednesday, protesting against Spain’s housing affordability crisis.
It was the largest strike of its kind since 2012, when workers rallied against austerity measures amid the eurozone debt crisis.
Around 120,000 people also turned out at demonstrations in the capital Madrid, while more than 50,000 joined protests in Barcelona.
The strike was supported by Spain’s largest unions, Unión General de Trabajadores and Comisiones Obreras, who represent over a million workers. Spanish tenants’ unions also backed the strikes.
