Housing costs prompt nationwide workers’ strike in Spain

Workers across Spain held a general strike over housing costs, with The Irish Times and DW reporting that the action spread across industries. Al Jazeera said the stoppage disrupted public transport and industry, while The Guardian described it as a 24-hour strike with high participation across sectors. The Guardian reported that millions joined, but CNBC and Anadolu Agency reported tensions or clashes without giving a shared participation figure or a detailed account of those incidents.
