🇪🇸 HAPPENING NOW: RIOT POLICE MOVE IN ON VALENCIA PICKET AS SPAIN’S GENERAL STRIKE BITES
Police moved in to clear a road blocked by protesters in Benimaclet this morning. In Madrid, police clashed with pickets at the city’s main wholesale market. Valencia’s port is operating with minimum services.
Spain’s first general strike in 14 years is driven by rising rents and wages that haven’t kept pace. The country votes in less than three weeks.
