The full story

Unions and housing advocacy groups in Palma, Balearic Islands, have launched a street mobilization campaign to encourage citizens to join a general strike scheduled for November 11. Representatives from organizations including UGT, CCOO, STEI, CGT, CNT, SATI, the Sindicat de Llogateres, and the Platform of Mortgage Sufferers (PAH) gathered at locations such as Plaza de España and the Pere Garau market to distribute informational pamphlets and display banners. Organizers highlighted the severe housing crisis, pointing to extreme rental prices, inadequate salaries, and rising living costs that make it difficult for working people to make ends meet.
