Strikes
Protesters in front of Parliament call for a general strike
Several activist groups and union leaders, including the STOP union, are pressuring the CGTP and UGT trade unions to call a nationwide general strike. The demands focus on rising living costs, housing, and salary increases, coinciding with the start of the 2027 State Budget (OE2027) debate in Parliament on 27 October.
