The general strike called for November 11, the first in which UGT and CCOO will participate since 2012, puts Spain on track for its year of highest labor conflict since the 2008 crisis, with more than half a million workers on ordinary strikes in 2026, mainly due to demands for housing and decent wages. #HuelgaGeneral #ConflictoLaboral #ViviendaDigna (translated)

The author wrote that he had been angry upon seeing on Twitter what he described as a disgrace of the Broad Front, led by Más Madrid, and a disgusting campaign by the PSOE to present itself as an antifascist alternative.

President Pedro Sánchez has not had success with the two cards he has played during the first week of the pre-campaign: neither the general strike that UGT and CCOO have announced "against the opposition," nor appropriating Maricarmen's cause to proclaim that he wants to lead a new "Government of the people." #SondeoElectoral #PSOE #Vox (translated)

We are going to win this match because this country deserves it, because the people deserve it, because it is worth fighting for more rights and more freedoms, because we are going to defend Euskal Herria: on November 11 in the general strike, on the 14th in the streets of Bilbao, and on the 29th at the polls. After assessing the importance of the "strength" of social movements, Aipurua emphasized the need for a "push" so that they are not "blocked." #EHbildu #elecciones2023 #derechosylibertades (translated)

Captain Bitcoin stated that the PSOE had designed a campaign for the elections on November 29 with the goal of winning. According to his publication, it would begin with a general strike on November 11, the first in eight years and two days before the start of the campaign. He claimed that the protest would be directed against the opposition and would benefit the unions, which he described as bought. The author said that the Government would announce during the electoral weekend increases of 4.5% for civil servants, 3.5% for pensioners, and a rise in the minimum wage. He also predicted that it would approve housing decrees through the Permanent Deputation, where, he indicated, it had a majority. Regarding the electoral message, he stated that the PSOE would present the opposition as a threat to pensions and would contrast the government's wage increases with an alleged reduction in salaries by the far-right. He also labeled it dubious that the mail-in voting was questioned and said that Pedro was asking to allow 400,000 naturalized people in South America to vote immediately, without waiting. Captain Bitcoin maintained that the plan consisted of handing out public money for three weeks and generating fear before the elections, so that afterward, as he wrote, the bill would be passed on for another four years. He added that he would publish three videos on how to protect oneself on October 14, 15, and 16 on his channel. #Elecciones2023 #PSOE #España (translated)

In general, in democracy, general strikes have been called to stop attacks, to defend ourselves. Today we are facing an offensive general strike, as happens in collective bargaining, to place workers' demands in negotiations. It is different, unorthodox, and it speaks to many people, to the current government, the possible future government, to the autonomous communities, but clearly also to business organizations. #HuelgaGeneral #CrisisDeLaVivienda #DerechosDeLosInquilinos (translated)
